I’m downloading the file and making the changes, then uploading the new version.

I use the functions.php code as is from the wp-includes directory, with my own smilies — relevant portion below.

/**
 * Convert smiley code to the icon graphic file equivalent.
 *
 * You can turn off smilies, by going to the write setting screen and unchecking
 * the box, or by setting 'use_smilies' option to false or removing the option.
 *
 * Plugins may override the default smiley list by setting the $wpsmiliestrans
 * to an array, with the key the code the blogger types in and the value the
 * image file.
 *
 * The $wp_smiliessearch global is for the regular expression and is set each
 * time the function is called.
 *
 * The full list of smilies can be found in the function and won't be listed in
 * the description. Probably should create a Codex page for it, so that it is
 * available.
 *
 * @global array $wpsmiliestrans
 * @global array $wp_smiliessearch
 * @since 2.2.0

That’s probably way more than you needed to see. ??
Thanks!

Samboll: Excellent! The all-round cure. You should sticky this or similar post.

Automatic upgrade doesn’t work for me… it just sits on “unpacking core files” and a refresh doesn’t help.

I’m curious as to which plugin bloated your database?

Try right clicking the folder in your ftp program and changing the permissions there, to 0755.

I can’t get the automatic update for WP to work at all, nor the initial plugin installation from within WP, though the automatic plugin update works fine.

The answer is here.

Ditto here, seeking answer to this question myself.

If you’re talking about for your readers as opposed to admin, the WP-dTree plugin is great for that.

Ozh Admin Drop Down Menu works great.

Never mind. I just tweaked the main css, adding style code to match the ID of the text in question.

I accidentally found the fix, though how this all happened is still beyond me.

After uploading an older database, I found WP documentation on how to restore databases via phpMyAdmin (I’d been using the backup wizard on my server). I tried that, and it gave me a MySQL error on the table for the “wp_redirection” plugin log. I deleted those tables and the site returned. I then restored the newest database — saved after the site went down — and it’s working. I deleted the tables for wp_redirection and its log again just to be on the safe side.

This time I deleted the entire domain and started over. I still get a blank set of public pages. Someone please help. I’ll be eternally grateful.

Must sleep.

@rpali: I have written my host three times this week, and the third just now with a quote from you. I hope they fix this, because I’m about to go nuts.

Originally, you said reverting to 2.3.3 didn’t help… so what did your host do to make reversion functional for you? Were they unable to provide assistance on version 2.5?
