2.2 Update messed up the company blog

[sidianmsjones 0]

Hello team. I didn't realize how unstable this update was and just went through the motions of updating when the prompt asked me in the dashboard. Now the company blog is basically unusable. Please help. http://storytime.booklamp.org/

Hey There, Sorry you're having troubles. Can you first try re-saving your permalink structure in Wordpress? If that does not seem to correct it, try a random save in your framework settings. Let us know if that does not fix the issue for you. Nick

Thanks for the help. Tried both of those with no effect.

Turn on permalinks... should solve your problem.

They were already enabled and set to this: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ I tried resaving them, also changing and resaving them. Man, this is the last time I trust Pagelines updates.

Hi, How did you make your customizations? Did you use the PageLines Customize plugin? the Base theme? The Custom Code area?

[Andrew 207]

Looks like you got it fixed. Post the solution if you can :)

Hi Andrew, I asked Sidian for access to his backend and got it. He also had PlatformPro installed. I believe he accidentally clicked on activate after updating the PageLines Framework. So, I activated the PlatformPro theme and all looks good. However, I would require confirmation that this is the solution. I assume it is the solution because I see no other PageLines child theme nor the Pagelines Customize plugin. So, Sidian, if this solved your problem, please confirm here or in a private message. Preferably here, so we can close the topic if it's resolved. Thank you and happy blogging :)

Hi everyone. First, a big thank you to anthalis for their help. However I would not consider the issue resolved. Here is what I messaged to anthalis a moment ago about it... [quote]Hi anthalis. That definitely makes it look normal again. However the theme I was using before updating was Pagelines. Why would I not be able to continue using that? After hearing your thoughts on it I tried activating Pagelines again and deleting the custom CSS codes but it was still just as messed up.[/quote] It's important that I am able to go back to Pagelines because of settings and templates I have customized for other pages (Press Page) that do not work in PPro. If only I hadn't updated....ugh.

Just tried reuploading 2.1.6 and the results are just as bad, though a bit different in terms of how the site is messed up. Either way, Pagelines is bunk for now.

Hi Sidian, Sent you a PM. Fixed the 2.1.6 issue for you but you need to replace your widgets.

Ok the site is up and functional again in its 2.1.6 state, widgets and all. I'm going to go ahead and call this issue resolved - except for the fact that I cannot ever upgrade this site which...is a bit scary considering how easy it is to do and suddenly break the site.
