I’m gonna bump this thread because I have the same problem and I’m not finding the answer.
I have a stock 2.3.1install from Verio, and the theme I bought doesnt even register as avaliable so I need to upgrade it.
I made a new config php from the sample using the same database values from the old one. (I did miss the part about disabling plugins though)
My stock installation had a wordpress folder and then a wordpress 2.3.1 folder alongside it.
In any case, I backed up everytying then deleted BOTH folders and dropped the newest version in, then dropped in the updated config.php
all of these folders were in a file called etc. on my FTP server. Under the www/htdocs/ there is another wordpress folder that looks like it just points to the files in etc – but I dont know how to download or edit that file.
What is wierd though – is that my admin panel still works as does the site (albeit with the stock theme) and it still thinks that it’s 2.3.1 even those files are now gone…
I’m a winemaker – not a codie so any help you can render would be invalueable.
