I did an update a bit ago on a wp blog and now i need to do some updates and add a forum and some social stuff since its turning into a community site, but wp-admin is gone goes to a 500 error so i did some googling and tried a few things recomended but nothing worked?

The site and theme and everything is up and functional and i can FTP in, but i can update? Anyone know how to fix?

Upload a fresh copy of WP.

But don't replace
wp-config.php
wp-content

This will preserve your blog plugins, themes, posts and settings.

Does that also work with wp3.0+ in multisite mode?

btw if anyone is looking for a wp backup program (free) I just tried this today and it works great. http://lifeinthegrid.com/labs/duplicator/
I got my copy off of the wp site but you can download it at the above link and have any tech info you might need too.

Awesome, I just backed up one of my multi sites today. Guess I'll try the update and see what happens. I normally don't update but I haven't even gotten this site live yet. Figured it would be nice to at least open it up with the latest updates.

EDIT: The update worked but I had to reset my passwords. That's not gonna work in the future when I have a few hundred users on this site. Looks like I'll have to do some more homework if I want to keep this site up to date.

Odd I've never had to reset my password. Maybe it was just a glitch or something.

Following their upgrade instructions to the T is a must!

I've upgraded single site, and multi site versions with no problems. I do all of mine manually too.

When you do a multi-site, make sure you go into network admin, and update all the sites on your network...one button click does it all.

You have to consider the loose nut behind the keyboard that did the update too. :D
