I’m still trying to really ‘learn’ WordPress, so have no help on this. All I can say is that I’ve wiped out my WP site several times already, so have little confidence that moving into the ‘promote’ stage is viable.
Problem:
While 2.3.2 works, I am finding the upgrade instructions for 2.3.3 just too bewildering to deal with, thus upgrade attempts fail and work is lost again. So still running 2.3.2 provided/installed directly from my server powweb.com. I’ve requested powweb.com make 2.3.3 upgrade available but nothing thus far, still showing 2.3.2 with no upgrade available.
Running winXPhome, which won’t handle php, and am working to escape to Linux but after 3+ years “close but no cigar”. Plus I know nothing about php or the appropriate apps, so this stuff is using up my whole life! I really appreciate that WP is free, and realize this is not an issue with an instant fix, but must…
Request:
a. Rewrite the http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.3.3 page so we can understand it;
and/or
b. Develop a little package which will do the upgrade directly to one’s server.
Is there any hope? Thanks so much!
@ronkz,
start your own thread, don’t hijack this one. Your problem has nothing to do with the OP (original post).
All your questions were answered before, just search:

@charles,
Did you follow the instructions in Moving_WordPress?
Sorry if you think I was hijacking this thread; not my intent; I do believe my issues are related, I just didn’t mention ‘blank page’ and etc as I lost my blogsite several times.
I did now go to the your link provided, appreciate your effort, but in a quick look noticed nothing except more how-to’s and disparaging remarks. Again, a truly coherent upgrade page(s) would help many of us.

You need to improve your reading skills! Urgently.
The link takes you to a post listing the 5 (five) files that were changed in WP 2.3.3., and the next one even gives you a link to a “small package” with the changed files.
If you can’t deal with that… self-hosted WP is not for you.
Use wordpress.com or blogger.
