   i just upgraded from v2.3 to v2.9.1
   i know its to far away for the version gap, am a bit lazy to change gui or themes.

   while the upgrade's done, strange things happens
   on every posts below i had this
   Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_author_posts_url() in /home/akuluka/public_html/mulut/wp-content/themes/suffusion/functions/actions.php on line 726

   which is shown this

   <span class="author"><?php printf(__('Posted by %1$s at %2$s', 'suf_theme'), ''.get_the_author_meta('display_name').'', sprintf(get_the_time(get_option('time_format')))); ?></span>

   and when i try to edit a post on admin page, on the posts list shown this on the author tab

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_author_meta() in /home/akuluka/public_html/mulut/wp-admin/includes/template.php on line 1531

   which is shown this

   <td <?php echo $attributes ?>>"><?php the_author() ?></td>

   i only have 1 user which is me as an administrator and act an author also, will it be matter on the new 2.9.1 v?
   should i make new user or else

   i dont understand what is all about, on the 2.3 upgrade from below v verse i wont find all this hassle..

   anyone could help me here?

   thx

   what happens if you switch to default theme?
   does the error go away?
   if so, your theme may not be compatible with the latest wordpress

   hi there Sam,
   i guess something missing from the tidbits of the upgrade files, i do it by manual upgrade btw, using ftp and leaving the wp-content from previous version who hold the themes etc behind.

   i try to auto upgrade from the admin page, its work.

   and now everything run smoothly, on every themes and on the post list.

   so its solved.

   thx
