One step lots of people forget is to disable all plugins before the upgrade. No idea if that's what happened to you but I figured it's worth emphasizing!

I have read around the internet that there was a redirection issue involved in the /wp-admin index that was causing people some issue. Perhaps this is what @Rick Mahn had experienced. Maybe what went wrong with yours.

Interestingly, I also had this issue. I couldn't log into the admin panel no matter what account I tried.

Luckily, simply deleting the browser cookie for my sight in Firefox took care of the issue and I was able to log right in. Everything's working fine after that.

Now I'm wary. Should I be? Should I wait?

I just (nervously) upgraded and it all went well. It stinks that you didn't have the same experience... 2.6 is a nice update!

I was backed up. Really.

And no, I don't have very many plugins at all. Only 8, and one's for comments, one's for SEO, one's for FriendFeed.. you know, all content-side.

I am also faced this problem in 2.5.2 last week, and it happened after changing my password from my control panel. I thought my site is hacked.. After changing my password in the database and waited for a day without accessing my wp-login.php page. It came automatically after 1 day.. I don't know how it came :)

Do you run any admin side plugins? I cannot think of anything that would be that major between 2.5.X and 2.6. I know there were plenty of enhancements but not sure what would have been done to cause breakage.

Anyway, I am glad your blog is back up. Hopefully you will be able to make the transition soon without issue.

The important part of this story is that you were able to recover. To quote Jeff above, "backup, backup, backup!!! :)" With backups any problems can be corrected. Somehow.

In all honesty, I would NEVER-EVER roll-back to a previous install and think that solution is solid.

My 2.1.1 install was hacked. And worse, Google removed me from all indexes. I blame only myself for not updating.

That really sucks. I wonder what went wrong?
Are you on LAMP?

I know people diss Dreamhost, but in all honesty, I just updated TWELVE(12) WordPress sites to 2.6 in under one hour using the one-click update. 10 different themes, all glitch-free.

I had problems with it as well. I got a 500 internal server error and was unaware of this for nearly 4 hrs.

Same thing happened to me a week ago. After a minor panic, we ended up reverting to the previous version of WordPress, which I like better, anyway.

I have heard of a couple others with major issues. I think I will hold off a bit.

@Robert - it was all in the admin area. I couldn't get to wp-admin. EVERYTHING I did to fix that didn't work. : (

So, um, not 100% sure. I rolled back until I can figure it out.

What happened to your blog? I upgraded today and everything went finer than froghair.

I'm glad to see you managed to roll back successfully. I would've missed you :-)
