   I'm trying to repair a WordPress install for a client. The db_version says 3441 which doesn't make sense because all the official releases don't note this number anywhere. Got some clues that can help?

   That would be WordPress 2.0 to 2.0.11.

   I highly recommend that you upgrade it as soon as you repair it, as that version is anywhere from 3 to 5 years out of date and full of publicly know security vulnerabilities.

   The "semi-official" WordPress major upgrade path:

   1. Backup your files and database.

   2. Download WordPress 2.2.

   3. Do a manual upgrade to WordPress 2.2.

   4. Repeat step 1, but don't replace the previous backup (keep both on hand).

   5. Download WordPress 2.5.

   6. Do a manual upgrade to WordPress 2.5.

   7. Repeat step 1, but don't replace the previous backup (keep both on hand).

   8. Download WordPress 2.7.

   9. Do a manual upgrade to WordPress 2.7.

   10. Repeat step 1, but don't replace the previous backup (keep both on hand).

   11. Use WP's automated upgrade to system to upgrade to 3.0.3.

   Odd, something is definitely broken. The Presentation tab shows nothing. Not even a theme listed. Well, let's see what an upgrade does here.
