You will probably need to finish the upgrade manually, as it was interrupted, and has lead to either a corrupt file, or something critical is now missing. Do you have FTP access to the files on your server? If yes, you can download a new copy of WordPress 3.3
Once you have that, unzip it, and copy all of the files except the wp-content folder to you site, overwriting the files that exist there currently.
Once you’ve done that, go to yoursite.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php in your browser (being sure to replace your URL for the sample one above) and re-running the upgrade.
Hi, thanks for you advice. I have tried this but it doesn’t seem to work? There is a good chance i’m not doing it right since I don’t have a clue!
My developers won’t help and im a at a bit of a loss with it all..any other suggestions?
Try:
– switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.
– re-running the upgrade via wp-admin/upgrade.php
If you feel like rolling up your sleeves, Esmi’s advices is exactly what I would give; that is the troubleshooting procedure for this issue.
If any of this is over your head, try to find another business in your area who does WordPress sites. We have a fair amount of requests from people just like you, who need help and are without their original dev, and I can teel you that anyone who builds WP sites for clients could help with this issue.
Cheers,
Thank you both for your advice, i’ll give it a try but I may have to contact someone to sort it out.. The guys who set this up have just can’t be bothered to help me which is frustrating!
Sadly it’s something I hear a lot of… luckily, there are a lot of shops that now build client sites on WordPress, so I’m sure you’ll find someone in your area who can help.
Thank you for your help. I’ll start contacting wordpress people in the area.
Enjoy the rest of your Monday evening x
