WordPress 3.3 has been released and earlier today when I opted for the one-click install, my dashboard “disappeared”. The frontend of the site is completely fine as far as I know but for now I can only update the content of the site through my phone’s app. Sucks, eh? Heads up to those of you who want to update…it’s a major release and I wasn’t paying attention…you might want to consider a manual upgrade.

Exploring Open Source Java Web Frameworks
I can't contain my excitement. There's just a whole other world out there that I never really cared to explore in the past. I just didn't want to get into ...
Seems to be related to user rights management – at least in my case.
Check the “wp_usermeta” entries for your “user_id” (can be found in the wp_users table)
I found a double entry for “wp_capabilities” – one containing “a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}” and one containing “a:1:{s:13:”subscriber”;s:1:”1″;}”.
I deleted the subscriber entry and everything was fine again.

Don’t trust the wordpress updates. They will ruin your life. Months of work down the drain.
Haha…well, that automatic update really screwed me over. I haven’t had the chance to figure out how to get my dashboard working properly. I haven’t had the chance to try the workaround suggested to me by one of the commentors. But I will definitely check the database as suggested. It will be interesting to find out how this update went wrong because I have been using this button for years and I have never encountered issues until this time around.
Update: the issue I faced was due to plugin incompatibility issues.
