Hi SianiB,

Hmm, if we knew the version you were upgrading from – we could “reset” your WordPress core files to that version again so long as the database was never updated.

Did you ever get to the point in the installation where it prompts you to update the database before the power cut off?

Hi,

I would suggest searching for an export to CSV plugin where you can choose what content to export. Here’s an example:

If you want to do it manual, you can also try using the Admin Columns plugin:

In the Admin Columns settings, you can go to the Media Library section and add a new column called “Full Path”. Enabling this will add a new column to your Media Library that will display the file url for each attachment.

Hope that helps! ??

Hi there,

I think in order to answer this question, we’ll need some more details from you. Are we assuming that all of these menu items are either pages or an archive of posts? Are any of them purely for categorizing?

Thanks!

Don’t forget to pre-fix your Css to support most modern browsers:

-moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 1px 1px #9B9191;
-webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 1px 1px #9B9191;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 1px 1px #9B9191;

You can also play around with this generator – choose box shadow, choose your values, and it will generate the CSS for you to copy and paste.

Keep in mind that since this is Css3, it is not supported in IE8 or less. Hope that helps. ??

You can do this from your WordPress dashboard. When you first log in:

https://www.your-site.com/wp-admin

On the main dashboard screen, there is a small meta box title “At a Glance” and there’s usually an update button there that should say “Update to 4.2.2”.

You can also update by your sidebar on the dashboard, and clicking on Updates beneath the “Dashboard” section. There will be a message on that page that says in bold text, “An updated version of WordPress is available.” with an “Update Now” button.

Depending on your hosting/server, there may be permissions that might stop you from updating WordPress on your own. If that’s the case, you’ll likely have to call your hosting provider.

Also I want to advise since you’re updating from a very outdated version of WordPress, you take some precautions like backing up the site and database first. Check this out before you hit that update button!

I would definitely advise you to do some research before you try and upgrade from so many versions behind.
