So I'm work­ing on the fin­ish­ing touches of this when I notice that Word­Press 2.8 is out and this site is still run­ning 2.7. ¬† Well! ¬†That sim­ply muct not be allowed so I promptly upgrade. ¬†And break it.

For some rea­son I begin hav­ing delim­iter errors every time I cre­ate or attempt to edit a post or page. ¬†It didn't hap­pen before so it must have been some­thing I did dur­ing the upgrade. ¬†So I down­load it again. ¬†And… it's bro­ken. ¬†Okay. ¬†Phase 2.

As any­one who has worked with WP in the past knows, when all else fails start deac­ti­vat­ing plu­g­ins one by one till the prob­lem goes away. ¬†Then you have your cul­prit. ¬†Except I even went so far as to delete the blasted things and still didn't fix it.

'Well now' I say to myself.  'I upgraded 2 other site recently to 2.8 and they both work fine.  I'll just copy them over and change the theme and plugins'

So I did.  And it didn't work.

I then go back to the other sites that are run­ning 2.8 and start play­ing around. ¬†And guess what? THEY ARE BROKEN!

At this point I'm totally con­fused and lost. ¬†I've even tried a clean install, new DB, every­thing short of wip­ing the hard drive and start­ing over. ¬†It DID cross my mind!

So I do the one thing men hate. ¬†Ask for help.

Turns out it's all because I had a trail­ing for­ward slash at the end of my siteurl. ¬†GAH!

For those that already knew the answer, bite me.  Seriously :)

Any­way, it's 1:2 in the morn­ing, I get up at 6 and I'm dog tired. ¬†Enough blab­bing, time for sleep.
