I just installed a new wordpress blog using Fantastico.. and whenever I save anything, a post, a comment, a template change etc.. I get a blank page. I haven't had this problem before on Fantastico installs or manual installs. Anyone else have this problem?

I also upgrated one of my WP blogs, that I had originally installed using Fantastico, and now when I save I get an error on that blog too. My other blogs are fine, I won't upgrade until this is worked out.

This is the error I get on the recently upgraded blog:


WordPress database error: [Table 'utahdogs_wrdp1.wp_post2cat' doesn't exist]
SELECT cat_ID AS ID, MAX(post_modified) AS last_mod FROM `wp_posts` p LEFT JOIN `wp_post2cat` pc ON p.ID = pc.post_id LEFT JOIN `wp_categories` c ON pc.category_id = c.cat_ID WHERE post_status = 'publish' GROUP BY cat_ID

WordPress database error: [Table 'utahdogs_wrdp1.wp_post2cat' doesn't exist]
SELECT cat_ID AS ID, MAX(post_modified) AS last_mod FROM `wp_posts` p LEFT JOIN `wp_post2cat` pc ON p.ID = pc.post_id LEFT JOIN `wp_categories` c ON pc.category_id = c.cat_ID WHERE post_status = 'publish' GROUP BY cat_ID


I don't know if that table existed or not before the upgrade, i'll check my other blogs to see if it does. Either Fantastico didn't create it or deleted it... hrm.

And on the new install no RSS feed is being detected. Which is odd, I see the feed link in the source.

Maybe I should just uninstall and reinstall manually. hrmph.

On the upgraded site, did you run the WP upgrade script? It should be found at a URL like:

http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php

As for the new site, I've never had that issue with a fresh installation, either through Fantastico or as a manual one. Does the site itself still appear? Do you have an address for the site that we can review?

I might also simply blow away the old install and do a new one. Always the fail-safe if it doesn't work the first time.

Yeah hrmph what a pain, I will probably do a manual install.

On the upgrade, it says no install script is necessary. I upgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.3.1.

Did you do the upgrade through Fantastico?

Well, that's unfortunate! The only suggestion I can make is to try doing another install over that install. Is that possible with Fantastico? Your other option might be to do a manual installation with the same version you have installed right now (2.3.1). That might work.

I know others have had issues in the past - I can't say the same for me.
