Thanks Esmi,

I do actually have a copy of FileZilla on my computer – I’d forgotten. I think I did use it once or twice in the past.

Although thankfully they do appear to offer an automatic upgrade for WordPress to 3.5 through Fantastico and it seems to have worked.

After that update the automatic update to 3.5.1 worked.

Thanks for all advice.

My host does not offer a batch file upload option, it would take me hours to copy everything across one file at a time.

Another interesting point … the Scheduled Site Maintenance notice doesn’t appear when I go to the actual nestingneedles.com.au site, even during the update.

OK, it turned out to be something very simple (isn’t it always).

The themes dir had been dragged inadvertantly into the plugins dir I suppose on my way to delete the WP_SEO one. This was discovered after clicking on Themes elucidated that the current theme was broken, and trying to reinstall my theme resulted in a message that installation was unsuccessful due to an inability to write to the Themes dir.

I’m now off to do a belated backup and WP version update and offer up many, many prayers of thanks to the IT God otherwise known as Sean Rodden who solved all my woes in under 10 minutes. Wow!

OK … this is a little strange. I can now log in to my WP Dashboard and move around, however, when you go to my landing page (or any other page), it’s still blank. Any clues?

If I go to edit a page, the content appears to still be there.

Hi Ming, thank you very much for such a quick reply. I’ve downloaded FileZilla and deleted the wordpress-seo directory. The immediate result was that when you type in my url it no longer comes up with a error, it’s just blank. I’m assuming I have to find some patience from somewhere and wait for it to replicate somewhere?
