Lost files with new Upgrade

  • Alright so I was in WP today and adjusting a few things on my site. Saw the upgrade button and not thinking about it and pushed it. Afterword my site is gone and I have a message that says that my site will be in maintenance mode until complete. So How long does that take. It has been at least 2 hours.

    Second, I came to the WP site to see what I did wrong and I saw this message “WARNING: The upgrade process will affect all files and folders included in the main WordPress installation. This includes all the core files used to run WordPress, two plugins (Akismet and Hello Dolly) and two themes (Twenty Twelve and Twenty Eleven). If you have made any modifications to those files, your changes will be lost.” Kind of wish I would have seen that first. Anyway, I cannot remember what version I had previously and since the backup that I had from last night will be with that edition I am wondering how I can find out what edition I had. Next, is there a way to bring the backup into the newest update.

    Any help would be awesome as I am a WP beginner who is in need of serious help.

    Best,

  • Try:
    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    – running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php
