Hurrah! That is great news, @darsen!!

@darsen I am a rookie so I can only comment based on my personal experience, but I did not have any issues with content being lost. Everything was in tact after the manual update via FTP. I did do a full backup before I changed anything, and I would suggest you do the same. Good luck!

@mcoale’s solution worked for me, too! I was having all kinds of weird errors and issues and updating to 4.2 fixed them all.

If you are a WP rookie and generally don’t understand how all the back-end stuff works (like me!), here’s a quick tutorial on how to update WordPress via the FTP.

Definitely do a backup first in case something goes wrong.

Thank you SO much @wpyogi!! I was able to fix it with @katherinehuynh suggestion:

In GoDaddy: File Manager, wp-content, privacy, uncheck inherit and make sure read write is checked.
