Paul Fleming - Flemo: Between Sydney, Philadelphia and the World Wide Web

While I didn’t have any issues upgrading other WordPress sites, one of them proved pretty tricky. It seems as though a fefw folks were having similar problems logging into their blogs following the update and a clearing of the cache seemed to do the trick. It did not for me. My problem actually lay in the plugins (which one(s) I’m not exactly sure) but here is my solution to getting around this particular login problem:
1. Copy all plugins from your server to your computer (they’re in the wp-contents folder)
2. Delete all plugins from your server
3. Log into your blog using either /wp-admin or /wp-login.php
4. Update the database
5. Log in to your blog again
6. Put plugins back on the server one at a time
7. Activate or upgrade each one if offered
8. Blog on

It took me a while to figure this out (with the help of others) so I thought I would share my experience in case anyone else is freaking out about being locked out of their blog.

I just came across an email suggesting that I need to click on a link to renew my adwords account. So I click on the link that says:
“Renew Now your Google Search Advertising services.”
It takes you to what appears to be the adwords login page but I notice the URL is for an unrecognized URL http://words-scr.com/sellect/source/Login.htm.

Quite obviously a very slick scam aiming to catch your login info for Adwords. My recommendation is that you DO NOT login. Instead go and blog about it so that folks don’t get caught up in it.

This is an impressive showcase of flash design worth sharing. http://producten.hema.nl/
