i am just so confused. can you please give me a step by step what to do. i would appreciate it so much. i just need help ASAP. my site loads so slow, thats another problem i have. i’d delete some plugins (which i don’t see how that can be the problem because it just started going slow as of last month and i haven’t installed anything new) but i can’t access my dashboard because of this fatal error message. ah..

frustrating

i appreciate your help, but i am so new to this stuff…

would this be my problem:

Ok back in buisiness. All is running smooth and fine. Thnx a lot!

recap for other users.

the fix for this error is quite simple.

the steps are:

1 backup all files and the dbase (just to be safe)

2 Log in with FTP: rename the plugin folder to plugin-old and delete .maintenance file
3 download new 3.3 and unzip it.

4 Log in with FTP: upload all wp 3.3 files, overwrite all files
5 log in with wp-admin
Wp will tell you it needs to update the dbase. press ok
Wp will give you access to the dashboard.
Most likely your theme will look like …. and wp will tell you it is broken. An ugly twenty eleven theme can be running now.
Np
6Reactivate your theme.
7Reinstall plugins ( i use nextgen and nextgen scroll nextgen scroll is not tested yet on 3.3 though it runs nice and fine.

Note on 7 reinstall plugins. On me the install by plugins search install did fail.
I did manually download the plugins and then did choose upload and install. That did work fine.
For me this did the trick. quite simple.

it wasn’t an error it just went to a blank white page i recall.

if i manual install do i lose my whole site? i see it says you delete some files i hope that doesn’t delete my active theme i paid for or my plugins i set up, don’t want to lose all my settings.

Yup I fixed it thanks for your help guys! Another quick question, how do I make a slideshow on my front page where I have the picture of the single seat cover? It only let’s me put a URL to host an image, so no HTML would work…is there an image hosting site where I can make a slideshow and link it? Or a GIF maker would be am alt. choice right? Any help again would be great!

I go to Appearance>Menu and look and see categories is listed and it says News (which is what I have the default category listed as) and also it says “The current theme does not natively support menus, but you can use the “Custom Menu” widget to add any menus you create here to the theme’s sidebar.”

I’m really new to this, this is my first site, my brother helped me out and stuff, but even he’s stumped with this!

Why? I mean it’s a word press problem, it’s the default category giving me a problem

Ahhh! I’m so sorry its a giant link, but still the content is readable…my website link is carleatherseatcovers.com

I’m not trying to spam my site here, I seriously need help, because it looks tacky with Select a Category up there and I need to start to show people my site fast to get business. Thank you again.
