THANK YOU!

I followed the instructions at https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/upgrade/ and the upgrade worked perfectly! I still have it on the default and will be tweaking it quite a bit over the next few days as I figure everything out, but just wanted to say thanks for all of the help here, and to WordPress and the author of the upgrade tutorial site. (Plus all of the developers, etc.) Off to add in a ‘thank you donation’ for this site – thanks again!

nevermind – was looking in new files! { ?? }

Question from:
https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/upgrade/

RE:
Update the stylesheet import line in index.php. Replace this:
@import url( <?php echo get_settings(‘siteurl’); ?>/wp-layout.css );
with this:

@import url( <?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?> );

My root index.php doesn’t have this code. It only has:

<?php
//* Don’t remove this line. */
//require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

That is the whole file. Was this edited prior to the download being available (and after your tutorial was written?)

Thanks

Ok – done. I uploaded a blank .htaccess file and cmod’ed to 666. My blog has been working all along… and (thankfully) still works. Is this a security feature, or?

That is what I would think… but my blog does not have one. :-/ Should I have created one when I set up my blog? (oops)

Where is htaccess located normally?

OK thanks. My phpadmin guru just went offline (in Australia), so I will wait until I have some hand-holding before messing with it again. Too scary to see that blank page again. LOL

Thanks again for the help.

Podz – I followed the instructions here:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Upgrading_WordPress

My blog is completely restored – I just reuploaded my backed up files, so all is OK now, running my original version. (whew)

macmanx – I just checked my cp – I am using V1.2.1. So… should I keep my wp-config file, or make a new one using the install.php page?

Thanks again.

Uhhhh Yes, clicking deeper, I see that I did upload the themes directory! (I just grabbed everything new and uploaded it into my almost-empty directory).

Is there an easy fix for this? Or do I just not upload that directory? I am not sure how to log into irc.

Thanks!

[sorry alphaoide – I didn’t mean to hijack your thread – just thought we had a similar problem]

Similar problem here. I backed up my blog directory, backed up the mysql db. I deleted all files on my server except wp-config.php and the wp-content folder and re-uploaded the new ones. I got a screen saying something like ‘congrats – there is only one thing to do – click here and go have fun’ and when I did, I was forwarded to my blog, which was completely blank! ??

I do not have any plugins active, so I left that alone. I cannot locate my htaccess file anywhere on my server – where is it? Could that be the problem?

For now, I just re-installed my backed up files and everything is back how it should be (v1.o).

Any ideas? I am a bit nervous to try the upgrade again, but really looking forward to all of the features, especially the comment upgrades. I had to turn my comments completely off due to online poker and viagra spams…

Thanks! (I just now saw the reply to this question…)
This link https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/graphicalcss/align/index.html was very helpful and fixed the problem.
