Right now I use a small company [https://www.crisishost.com/] who has Fantastico but I don’t use it. I always manually upgrade.

I just tried upgrading on another site from 2.7.1 to 2.8 same problem. blog is blank and the themes and plugin section of admin says I have no themes or plugins — even though the defaults are in the directories.

Shane, I was using the default WP theme with no plugins. I did manage to upgrade the site to 2.8 [from 2.7.1] but all attempts to go to 2.8.2 resulted in a blank blog and missing sections of the admin. So I’m stuck at 2.8

Thanks for your help. I’m open to more ideas.

Well after a full day of searching this site and trying numerous suggestions posted herein and not succeeding… I deleted WP 2.8.2 and installed 2.7.1

Fortunately, this was a new blog and I didn’t have to worry about losing content. At least I have the blog back, along with the ability to add themes and plugins.

WordPress was always the best. But now, upgrading is risky. There doesn’t seem to be very many WP folks who are able to provide answers — and that’s the really scary part.

bump.

i need to know this as well. some of my users are writing 2-3 page comments!

ideally, the plugin should tell users how many words are still available as they write — and a mention of the total word count allowed.

I just imported my backup via PHP MyAdmin.

Comments are still missing from posts. They show up in sidebar [Recent Comments] but when I click on them they do not appear on the posts.

They are not listed in the Admin/Comments section either.

Can anyone help me?
