Hi Steve,

Thank you very much for your help and guidance.

I must say, I am in shock. I had adopted additional security measures (sucuri, for example) and have another 4 WordPress sights with no issue and same security measures in place.

I will try following the guide and contact one of those companies if not successful.

Thanks very much.

Hi,

I’ve also got Origami and having been trying for ages to display comments in home page, but to no avail. You’ve gotten a bit further than me though, by being able to display your comments count in your home page (well done!). Any chance you can point out how you did that?

Thanks!

Ric

Thanks Samuel,

I think I’ll wait for a while to see if anything comes up… It’s a long-winded task to clean the installation and re-install, so fingers crossed.

Thanks,
Ric

Anyone…?

Hi all,

Sorry for re-opening this topic, but I’ve searched aaaaaaaaaall around the forum and net and still haven’t found a straight answer. I too, as many around, have the “AKPC_IDS +=…” showing up on my blogs preview posts (home page). I know it’s Alex King’s Popularity Plugin. I know whe you deactivate it, it no longer shows up. I know Alex no longer supports the plugin. But ultimately, I want the plugin to work (therefore I do not want to use the solution of deactivating it) and I also need assistance (unfortunately I can’t get it from Alex himself). I’ve tried to tweak around with the editor, but always get an error. I’ve also found various links (like the above) that supposedly solve the issue, but either I’m really bad at this all or they really don’t resolve this specific issue. Lol.

Does anyone know how to get “AKPC_IDS += …” removed from the preview posts?

My blog: https://quartoefe.ricjo.org/
Mw WordPress version: 2.9.2
Plugin installed: Popularity Contest evrsion 2.0b2

Thanks!

Ok, finally (!!!!) it’s working. The problem was a plugin. I had desactivated all plugins prior to updating. Apparently, after upgrading, it automatically activated all the plugins again. As I has deactivated them I never thought they were active. And as the wp 2.5 administration panel is slightly different, I didn’t automatically find the plugin area to confirm if they were really deactivated or not (stupid). I just found it and to my surprise they were all activated. I’ve deactivated them all and now it works. I suppose I’m going to wait until all the plugins of my other blogs are updated for wp 2.5 and then I will upgrade them.

Guys, thank you very much for your help and patience. Really. I appreciate it very much. Now I’m going to click the RESOLVED button ??

Thanks!

I changed the name, checked it and still nothing. I’m starting to despair and thinking of giving someone my password to access my cpanel and see what’s wrong… Maybe it’s the only solution I have left!

Hmmm… I disabled all the plugins before updating, so maybe that’s not the problem. I have backed up everything, so I suppose I can delete my theme folder. I just hope it keeps my personalizations, because it took me forever to do them… lol. I’ll try swapping to the default theme and see if it works. If it desn’t, I’ll delete the theme folder but than I need you guys to help me upload it again from the back up ??

EDIT: it didn’t work with the default theme. This error appears all the time: Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

So should I really delete the themes folder…?

Thank you guys so much!

No. Wont that mean I would loose all my personalization of my current theme?

I think all the wordpress unzipping issue is corrected. I transferred the wordpress folder content to the /public_html/redmosquito and therefore I was able to upgrade successfully and then login to my administration account. All I can’t do is see the blog…

Thanks for replying ??

Help…? I really don’t know how to sort this out…

But I have my wp-content folder. I can login to my administration panel and absolutely everything is there: templates, plugins, posts, etc. etc. I just can’t visualize the blog….

Wow! Thanks! It almost worked… So i did what you said. Went to my upgrade page, logged in and…

“The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”

So, at least there is no fatal error and I got to the login page. So is this redirecting problem my fault or is there something I can do to fix it…?

EDIT: I did put it in to the /public_html/redmosquito folder. Thanks ??

EDIT II: Ok, I think I got it to work now. At least I’ve reached this message:
“No Upgrade Required

Your WordPress database is already up-to-date!
Continue”

But when I click continue, it redirects me to my blog but nothing appears. It’s as if the blog doesn’t even exist. Geez… never thought upgrading WP would be such a task.

No question is stupid in my case, because it’s the first time I’m upgrading and I’m doing it less then a month after I started off with WP, so all questions are welcome.

I did exactly as followed:

“Step 0: Before You Get Started

* Just in case something goes wrong, make sure you have a backup. WordPress Backups is a comprehensive guide.
* Deactivate your plugins

Step 1: Replace WordPress files

1. Get the latest WordPress. Either download and extract it to your computer or download it directly to the server.
2. Delete your old wp-includes and wp-admin directories. “

So I deleted the folders, uploaded WP 2.5 and extracted it. And that’s the point where I’m up to right now. It then says for me to:

” 3.Copy the new files to your server, overwriting old files in the root. You may use FTP or shell commands to do so.”

But I don’t quite know what that implies, due to the fact that when I unzipped WP 2.5, all the files were automatically extracted to my server, right? So I then went too step 2:

” Step 2: Upgrade your installation

1. Visit the upgrade page. “

And that’s where my error message appears. I know I’m doing something wrong, but I can’t seem to find out what it is. Sorry for being so ignorant and thnak you for your patience.

I’m pretty sure it uploaded everything. Here are all the files I’ve got:

/public_html/redmosquito/cgi-bin
/public_html/redmosquito/wordpress
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-admin
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-content
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-includes
/public_html/redmosquito/error_log
/public_html/redmosquito/index.php
/public_html/redmosquito/license.txt
/public_html/redmosquito/readme.html
/public_html/redmosquito/wordpress-2.5.zip
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-app.php
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-atom.php
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-blog-header.php
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-comments-post.php
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-commentsrss2.php
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-config.php
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-cron.php
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-feed.php
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-links-opml.php
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-login.php
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-mail.php

/public_html/redmosquito/wp-rss2.php
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-settings.php
/public_html/redmosquito/wp-trackback.php
/public_html/redmosquito/xmlrpc.php

What if nothing is missing? By the way, thank you for your help!

Hmmm… All I uploaded was the WP 2.5. Before that I deleted all the content in the old wp-includes and wp-admin directories. So what else do I need to upload besides WP 2.5…?
