AFAIK, the only way to be sure is to make the bullet an image

#content ul{
background: url(images/square_red.gif) no-repeat top left;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px;
padding: 0px 0px 15px 0px;
}

#content ul li{
background: url(images/square_red.gif) no-repeat top left;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px;
padding: 0px 0px 15px 0px;
}

use a 9×15 pixel image, with the bullet the lower 9×9 area and the upper 9×6 area same color as background, put it in the theme image directory

I just modified your code, I use different margin & padding

All I know is that the upgrade included a modification of the db. Not all upgrades include that. That being the case I am not surprised a 2.7.1 version db is not compatible with 2.8. You need someone who has a better understanding of mySQL than I do.

It seems like much of this is now straightened out, one way or another. At least for me, there were 2 different issues.

1. a missing file after upgrading with WAU plug-in (which also had failed to delete old files, but that didn’t seem to cause problems)

2. browser caches (most browsers AFAIK) slow on flushing out the old and bringing in the new

Also, traffic on this thread appears to have tapered off with most issues resolved.

I’ll leave this open for a little longer if someone else needs to post on this thread. If not, then this thread will soon be marked resolved and close. Fair warning.

jd is right on

Backing up the db contents and the files is necessary but may not be enough when the structure of the db changes during the upgrade as in the upgrade to 2.8 for example.

My ISP gives me a tool through cPanel to back-up the entire site, including the db structure, enough to transfer the entire site to a new server. Then everything can be restored.

@azaoaa thanks for checking in and contributing more info

since all my install were 2.7.1 it would seem that WAU did not clean out the old files since I still had 2.6 files

which returns me to my recurring question:

where is the list of all files proper to 2.8?

I downloaded 2.8 zip file directly from https://www.ads-software.com/download/ and checked tinymce directory and it is ‘missing’ files that I’ve now added to my blogs:
tiny_mce_config.php
tiny_mce_ext.js
tiny_mce_gzip.php
wordpress.css

I got those files by using the WAU (WordPress Automatic Upgrade) plug in but I had to compare 3 different installs (3 different blogs) to get them all.

define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false ); would make WordPress admin run slower, so after I made sure all the files were in place I commented it out and everything still works.

here is the list of files & directories I now have in tinymce/
blank.htm
langs (directory)
license.txt
plugins (directory)
themes (directory)
tiny_mce_config.php
tiny_mce_ext.js
tiny_mce_gzip.php
tiny_mce_popup.js
tiny_mce.js
utils (directory)
wordpress.css
wp-mce-help.php
wp-tinymce.js
wp-tinymce.js.gz
wp-tinymce.php

total count = 16 files & directories

all of this is from a similar thread at:

downloaded 2.8 zip file directly from https://www.ads-software.com/download/ and checked tinymce directory and it is ‘missing’ files that I’ve now added to my blogs:
tiny_mce_config.php
tiny_mce_ext.js
tiny_mce_gzip.php
wordpress.css

so what am I to think about this?

can anyone else confirm that the official WP download is missing files?

I upgraded a third blog to 2.8, same problem, then looked in wp-includes/js/tinymce and discovered missing files, added missing files and problem went away

so, can I assume no need to add: define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );
if all the files are there?

and, even assuming that I now have all the files, I only compared between 3 installations and added files that were missing relative to other installations, but have no way to know if a file is actually missing in all three installations.

I’m really trying to get this worked out before I upgrade my main, very important, blog

Does a list of files for a complete installation actually exist anyplace?

@azaozz first site missing:
tiny_mce_config.php
tiny_mce_ext.js
tiny_mce_gzip.php

thank you so much, how do you know what I’m missing?

perhaps more importantly, where is a list of files I should have so I can check all this out my self?

I do not use the ‘Use Google Libraries’ plugin but I do use other Google plugins:
FeedBurner FeedSmith
Google XML Sitemaps

do they use Google Libraries?

I tried unchecking “disabling the visual editor when writing” then rechecking – still not fixed. I tried automatic re-installing – still not fixed, that should have re-uploaded the wp-includes.

adding “define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false ); ” seems to work.

Thank you very much azaozz!

the site are:

https://test.willienelsonpri.com/

Is this a fix or a test?

I started a new thread about this since I haven’t been able to resolve it either, see:
