[SOLVED] Upgrading from 4.5.5 to 4.8.2, fatal error with plugins
Life went on and I haven’t bothered with my old blog site for quite a while, but because it was chocking on deprecation errors I’m finally upgrading. So far I have made my backups, uploaded all the new files to the server, and could successfully access the login page at abandoned_site.com/textpattern. Usually this should lead to txp finishing the upgrading process, but since I have neglected it for so long, right after I login, I’m greeted with:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_query() in /home/xxx/public_html/textpattern/plugins/tru_tags/tru_tags.php:908 Stack trace: #0 /home/xxx/public_html/textpattern/plugins/tru_tags/tru_tags.php(24): tru_tags_load_prefs() #1 /home/xxx/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(1405): include(‘/home/xxx/p…’) #2 /home/xxx/public_html/textpattern/index.php(210): load_plugins(1) #3 {main} thrown in /home/xxx/public_html/textpattern/plugins/tru_tags/tru_tags.php on line 908
Fair enough, it’s been years! However I’ve also lost whatever know-how I had before. What are my options? If the plugin is still up to date, can I brute force upgrade it via FTP (since I can’t access the dashboard), and if so where can I find the relevant files? Or do I just nuke the plugin folder so I can at least access the dashboard, then move on from there? Thanks!

Here’s the background: forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=324957#p324957
Here’s the updated version of tru_tags: forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=324030#p324030
You can disable the plugin with a database browser – check the txp_plugin table, there’s a row for each plugin. One of the rows is status, which is 1 for active, 0 for inactive. Change to 0 for tru_tags, and the upgrade should work just fine.
Note that you may have other old plugins that are either a) out of date or b) unnecessary, so it’s definitely worth checking to see if some or call can be upgraded or removed.

THANK YOU I am in the dashboard and things look normal enough! However the frontend now has:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function start() on null in /home/xxx/public_html/textpattern/publish.php:35 Stack trace: #0 /home/xxx/public_html/index.php(82): include() #1 {main} thrown in /home/xxx/public_html/textpattern/publish.php on line 35
I did some searching and it is implied that disabling plugins should fix the issue, but it’s not working for me. I have the following setup:
Admin > Preferences -> Publish
- use plugins? NO
- use admin-side plugins? NO
Admin > Plugins
- all plugins set to not active

Can you post your diagnostics as a reply? You can hide the private info. Admin -> Diagnostics.

These .htaccess blocks can be removed:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
#AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html
AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php56 .html
#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
<IfModule php_config>
php_flag register_globals off
#php_value include_path .:__TXP-ROOT/assets
</IfModule>Does that help?

Also, re-upload your root index.php and css.php files, they’re reported as being modified. It’s possible you missed this in the upgrade.

Yes, that was it, I missed image.php and css.php (facepalm). Thank you so much!
