OK, let's look at the whole tale:
1. After installation it worked fine with my plug-ins installed. I
then added it to a second installation and it seemed to work OK there
two.
2. I noticed that one of my plug-ins, Star Ratings, needed an update,
and installed it.
3. I then noticed the problem beginning to occur, and it spread over
all pages on one of the installations, but not the second, which had
basically the same plug-ins.
4. I disabled this plug-in -- same result. Just the header, no content.
5. I went back to my previous WP installation, 2.2.2, using the
upgrade option to adjust database or whatever. Problem persisted.
6. I reverted to previous version of the database, made as a backup
prior to the 2.3b2 update, and everything worked fine.
Does this help? It's possible the Star Ratings plug-in was partly
responsible, I suppose, but why would deactivation and restoring a
database be required?
Peace,
Gene
