Update to 3.9.1 has basically disabled my wp admin

[JAY]

after updating to 3.9.1, my wp-admin loaded the THANKS FOR UPDATING THE EVENTS CALENDAR page with all the notes, and simultaneously disabled every other link within the wp admin. no matter what link I click on, it just reloads the THANKS FOR UPDATING THE EVENTS CALENDAR page.

This is very frustrating as I can’t even bring up the plugins page to disable it or other plugins.

Hi Jay, welcome to the forums! Sorry to hear you’re hitting some trouble with updating the plugin, but we’ll help get things back on the right track. 🙂

Are you able to manually remove the plugins via FTP or through your host’s control panel? I think it would be helpful to try to uninstall The Events Calendar and The Events Calendar PRO from there and start with a clean slate.

Once the plugins are manually removed, head back to your WordPress dashboard and refresh to see if you are able to click links again.

Then, please go ahead and try reinstalling the plugins (might help to work with fresh copies of both), but this time do it with the Upload Plugin option under Plugins > Add New. Make sure both plugins are the same version (3.9.1) and upload the ZIP files that way.

Are you able to install and activate the plugins from there? Does the issue come back when you do? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi Jay! It’s been quiet in here a couple of weeks, so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. Please feel free to hit us up with a new thread if you need anything else and we’d be happy to help.
