   I followed the instructions to upgrade and am getting this:

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function: timer_start() in /home/content/p/o/i/poi987zxc124/html/wp-admin/upgrade.php on line 7

   when I try to access upgrade.php

   Any ideas on what to do? Thanks

   do you have a wp-includes/wp-db.php file uploaded? If so, delete the one on your site, and upload a fresh one out of the downloadable zip.

   if not, upload it.

   yes, i just deleted it and reuploaded the fresh one. nothing. i tried putting back the existing wordpress site and now the entire site is down.

   Same problem, so I just added this to wp-admin/upgrade.php

   if(!function_exists("timer_start")) {
     function timer_start() {
     	$mtime = microtime();
     	$mtime = explode(' ', $mtime);
     	$this->time_start = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0];
     	return true;
     }
   }
