Problem with upgrading to 3.5.1

Haha – you can do it through that way, but it’ll take a lot longer.

When you signed up with 123 reg did they not send you details of your FTP?

If you’re going to do it that way, then you go into public_html, then you’ll find your wordpress files. Download a copy of all of these first, just in case. Quicker to zip them in the file manager and download that way if you can.

So remember, don’t touch wp-content – it’s just wp-admin and wp-includes that you’re taking from the old version and uploading over your files in there.

I’d have done it for you if you had FTP settings, it’d take a few minutes through something like FileZilla.

Well whilst bumbling around reading forums today I did read something about this so I downloaded FileZilla and I have copied the whole shabang across. I was quite chuffed with myself for getting that far!

I have all of my FTP details and I’m petrified I’ll do something wrong but if you could instruct me I could try and do it? Or feel free to have a go for me? I feel like I need to send you some kind of present! You’ve saved me from the depths of despair and that’s no fun with a teething 7 month old and whilst packing up the house to move on Thursday.

I also had a look at your website (what a fab service) and you would be impressed with the wardrobe detox I have undertaken whilst packing.

I know exactly how you feel – people in these forums have always helped me out and it’s nice to be able to finally pay it forward!

If you have the login details for FileZilla, which are essentially FTP login details, mail them over to me and I’ll do it for you – sounds like you have your hands full!

The wardrobe detox website is actually my friends, I just did the website, but my wardrobe is in dire need of her services!

For any future visitors, I had this issue when trying to upgrade by copying the three folders (wp-admin, wp-includes, and wp-admin). To fix it, I also replaced the root wordpress folder files (wordpress/*). There must have been changes in those files needed for the upgrade from the version I was upgrading from (3.2.1).
