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.
