Well, yes. they did finally correct the ftp problem but it would have been nice if they’d just added a scripted button for the upgrade to their install centrall panel as they had done for the previous upgrade.

They also took a long time to figure out that the problem was a general ftp problem but one only in my WordPress directory. Once they got that, they fixed it. Probably had to change the owner of those folders to my name.

As it stands I haven’t done the upgrade yet. Have to screw up my courage.

I have moved themes and plugin folders using DW, but I decided to install an FTP client–CoreFtp yesterday. Seemed easy and straightforward.

Well, until I actually tried to move a file into the WP directory. No permissions. I couldn’t overwrite or delete despite that CoreFtp reported drwxr-r-r- privileges on the folder.

I used the server filemanager to change those privileges to match those which did work with files I had created. Still no permission.

I called iPower support who asked me to do basically what I had already doneand then asked me to use FireFtp inside Firefox. Same problem even though FireFtp tried to help me change permission–access to change them was denied.

I’ve got a help ticket outatanding with iPower.

Suddenly the upgrade has become very difficult. I wonder why iPower doesn’t simply supply it as an upgrade from their install central like they did previously?

Yeah, I just didn’t realize that Installation and Upgrade were two separate links and only looked at the first. Sorry.

Is there a reason I shouldn’t use Dream Weaver as an FTP client? I wouldn’t try editng any files with DW.

I’m hosted on an iPower server. They provide WordPress in what they call InstallCentral. I didn’t have to do anything but press a button to install. When an upgrade appeared, they had it and the upgrade worked fine. This time, however, they don’t have it and just keep telling me to check with WordPress.

I suspect that following the installation process is a formula for wiping out everything I’ve got. I’ve done a back up but I’m not at all clear about the instructions MOSHU fereferences. Are there some upgrade instructions somewhere?

How can I safely go about doing this. I’m not server savvy but I do know how to use an FTP program or I could just put the files in my dreamweaver directory and ftp them that way. I just want to know for sure what files constititue the upgrade.

Thanks.

I’m seeing something similar. I can upload images but when I try to put them in my blog, I only see the description or the title.

Some experimentation showed me that the url–not path–was wrong. I have wordpress installed in a directory called TRCnews. The link created by dragging an image from the browse window to the write window, leaves out TRCnews. When I put it in manually, the picture shows up.

I changed my wordpress url so that it was different from the blog url when I saw that I could see an image posted to the user account as server. I could then drag images fine, but I couldn’t create a new post because I hadn’t physically moved all of my files.

I changed everything back. My server seems to be assigning permissions correctly with a 755 folder permissiion. I just have to edit the html for images. Annoying, but it works. Not a big problem since I seldom actually added my own pictures this way.

Thanks for pointing out the message below the plugins. I feel better about trying plugins now.

I can’t see how I missed copying something from the plugin script. I did a ctl-a.

I’ll try it again. Might give me a chance to try that fix too.
