Upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1 got stuck –

    I’m really really stuck – please HELP!

    I was upgrading my WP install using my hoster’s (dreamhost) “1-click-install”-feature. It is supposed to do the upgrade including backup automatically.

    Problems now:

    (1) All static pages are inaccessible (404), yet they have been converted to posts. See my site at helge.at.
    (2) Even image-uploads show up in the manage-posts section as posts..!
    (3) The dashboard footer still shows the old version number 2.0.4
    (4) When using the WP-backend (that still works) I’m send to upgrade.php every once in a while. It always ends with the success message.
    (5) There is supposed to be an automatic backup-folder (by 1-click-install) on my server, yet there isn’t.

    Details:
    – Upgrade was from 2.0.4 to 2.1.2
    – I have tried disabling wp-cache and rebuilding permalinks, in vain.

    Ps. I promise never to use the 1-click-install again!

  • I think that seems worth doing.

    OK, but how do I fix page.php? Any ideas?

    OK, update:

    Following Lorelle’s post I have searched all my theme files and found NO occurrencies of depricated templates, except these ones that don’t seem to make problems:

    – list_cats: continues to display nicely. no problems whatsoever visible.
    – link_pages: in page.php. I have removed that, what it did wasn’t necessary anyway.
    – next_post and previous_post: continue to display nicely. no problems whatsoever visible.

    Nevertheless, page.php is still broken.

    OK, I finally discovered that Dreamhost has a very convenient, automatic way to switch back to previous DB versions. I switched back and re-ran the upgrade script. Now everything is fine again, database-wise.

    I will post the theme issue under a new topic.

    Let’s consider this one as RESOLVED.

    Thank you very much HandySolo!!

    Awesome! Glad to hear you got it all sorted out.

    Good news ??

    I’d make next time the upgrade manually, though ?? I’d better trust myself following a step by step process of backup + upgrade than a machine script somewhere doing so ??
