I am finding WordPress very buggy and diffucult, honestly. I want to build a site with it, but constant error messages, things I cannot find that are mentioned?

The latest is the “Space Upgrade”…..”In your dashboard”.

No such thing in MY dashboard. When I log in, it is not there and I hunt and hunt and hunt.

End of rope, knot tied, months at this now.

Forgot to say it is for the eshop plugin, version 5.0, and in WordPress 3.0

OK. I will wait.

Thanks for trying.

Blogaholic! That was it! The offending theme!

I exported the username file for the DB and it was in there. If I change it back to the default theme, will it work (assuming that that was the issue)?

>>If there is nothing added to this thread and if you don’t find a solution within say, a day or 2, I will tell you that it may just be worth doing a dump and import straight from PHP Admin from one database to the other. <<

I am game. How do I do that? Can I do that with all of them to get them all into one?

OK. read that page and took the wp-config-sample file, edited it to match the username, password, db name and uploaded as wp-config.php and immediately lost the connection.

Like I said, for me to edit the sp-config either does nothing or disallows reconnection.

“Error establishing a database connection.”

OK. All of the tables have wp_ in the font, and that matches the wp-config.php entry

Not sure how to put in a prefix. Currently it says,

“$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

When I am in the PHP Admin, I only get options to Alter, Create, etc. databases and not sure which table should be referenced in

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

Uh….ok………table prefix?

Let me try and see what you mean.

Version is 2.9.2.

Not sure which theme it was now, since i cannot get back into it to check.
I can get WordPress to work, but only with a new DB and not with any existing ones that have posts in them.

I checked both files, and they are identical in format, just the words “username, password” etc. have been replaced by the real ones.

Thanks, Zukester

Forgot to finish before sending.

Also, forgot to say, was not able to export/import either. It is always the “wrong format” no matter which one I pick.

Thanks, Zukester

Ah, OK. Then this is better news. I did a backup to a zipped file which I stored on the site and locally. I can unpack it and redo the DB again, I guess. Worst case anyways.

So ,elt me try this PhpMyAdmin tool first and, failing that, I can try to restore the CB. Failing that, I will do a backup after each several posts or even semi-weekly.

Will let you know what happens.

Thanks so much. Excellent forum, and I am on a lot of forums, from photography to geek stuff.

I have a backup, yes. How do they become corrupt and how do I fix it, then prevent it from happening?

Thanks,
