I was having a problem with publishing new posts after upgrading to the latest wordpress. I would write a post, hit publish, and the post.php would appear, BLANK. No real explanation was given. I did notice that the post I had selected to publish turned up as a draft. Trying to turn these ‘drafts’ into ‘published’ articled did the exact same thing.
After a bit of an extensive search for this problem, I came across a solution on this wordpress forum discussion. I thought I’d repost what solution worked for me (indeed it was one written in the preceding link, but I’ll summarise). It seems to be either a) a database problem or b) a plugin problem. Try the following (** though I take no responsibility if you suddenley destroy your wordpress install and/or database **)
1. Back up your wordpress database before doing anything. I repeat…BACKUP.
2. Hopefully, you are using phpmysqlAdmin (it make this easier). Locate your wp_settings table.
3. Find an entry called active_plugin field, with a value similar to “a:1:{s:5:./././././././././././././././././././././tmp/upl52653.jpg” or something.
4. Delete it.
5. Get out, save, and try make a post.
Argh! Wordpress post.php returns blank page…solution.
Yes, wordpress is being annoying.

Not a great explanation, but read through this forum post
