Thanks, Bledsoe, my blog is back online now! Your suggestion wasn’t the only thing that was wrong, but it helped me and my tech support (my brother!) find and fix the other things that were wrong. Turns out, my backed up files were still looking for my old theme, which I hadn’t re-installed yet, which is why I was getting a white screen in the first place. But changing the pathnames would definitely have been necessary at some point. Thanks again!

That makes sense, because originally the error message said it couldn’t find needle/update.php, and there was no needle folder on my new server, but there was on my old server. When I installed WP in a folder and named it “needle,” that part of the error message went away.

Thanks for the links. I’ll post again if this gets it working.

Yes, I’ve gotten to that point. The problem occurs after I import my backups.

P.S. I checked, and the upgrade.php file is there in the wp-admin folder. So does this mean I haven’t installed the right version of WordPress?
