Wordpress 2.8 Database Upgrade Loop

Last night I upgraded both of my blogs to Wordpress 2.8 and ran into a couple problems. The redirection plugin caused some problems with wp-db.php so I had to disable that to get the site back up if you upgrade redirection prior to upgrading you won’t have that problem.

The other problem I ran into was that I would be presented with a page saying “Database Upgrade Required”, after upgrading it would bring me back to the same page. The problem ended up being the wp-content/object-cache.php file, moving that out fixed the problem. However because the page was still cached in memcache moving the file back raised the same issues. The faster fix is to restart memcache all together to clear the cache.
