why not delete and upload new version of plugin via ftp and then enable via dashboard?
manual upgrade of WP is also easy.. replace everything except wp-content,wp-config.php and htaccess..
btw.. if your plugin is giving you trouble, it can create issues while WP upgrade..

you can get the thumbnail using:
the_post_thumbnail()
you will find lot of tutorials online to get posts from categories.
rest is css… long way to go! ??

been there done that…
i did a complete clean installation, as in, remove ‘everything’ from server, install WP, reload DB/config files etc, and upload theme. let the plugins be for now.
if you are on vps, throw away the current build altogether and start wit new ubuntu and latest php and sql etc wit security tweaks…
and then secure your installation. firstly, generate new salts and include in config.php: https://api.www.ads-software.com/secret-key/1.1/salt/
that will throw off any currently loggedin hacker. chk/delete users.
write protect all folders; include blank index file in all folders or include options -Indexes in htaccess. thats the basics. more stuff can be found online…

coming to ur local m/c, which ftp client do you use? sftp/ssh?
malwarebytes is good enuf.. not sure of mcafee but avast can do a boot scan for you. also, chk installed programs.. use programs like ccleaner and glary (check cnet downloads) to clean junks and keep ur pc clean…

unable to understand.. is this your first site after creating network, or the second (as in, 3rd site including main)?
navigate to : my sites – network admin – sites
click ‘edit’ on new site and check if ‘path’ is proper.. and also siteurl and home..
recheck htaccess btw..

yikes! didnt know that. thanks again.. ??

thanks ladies.
strangely, reverting back htaccess and wp-config itself solved my problem of data corruption. and only other thing added extra into wp-config were these for security:

and yeah, thanks Mika for your books on WPMS. downloaded from halfelf.org and going thru it now…

ok so i found this:
https://wpmututorials.com/how-to/how-to-disable-multisite/

a derivation of it would mean that the following are the new tables added:
wp_blogs
wp_blog_versions
wp_registration_log
wp_signups
wp_site
wp_sitemeta

so… there are ‘NO’ other changes/new-entries in DB???

like i said, i dont want to rollback my multisite installation. just update the DB to previous single-site one.

could somebody pls help confirm?

probably you might find this in your header.php:
bloginfo( ‘name’ );
commenting it out should remove the trailing title.

i think this cant be called as a bug. i think the author has coded to generate wp_title, but some themes append bloginfo() to it, some dont. so…

for custom homepage title changes, you will have to edit the page title directly from editor.
another tip is to manually hardcode metadata into header. some other plugins like all-in-one-seo has a seperate settings panel for it but not this…
