Thanks! How about the index.php files? Should I use the ones from the newest version?
which index.php files?
There is a main index.php in the root of your WordPress install, and there are index.php files that come with all themes. Which one are you referring to? If its the latter, didnt I just answer that question??
what version of wordpress are you currently using? and out of curiousity what version are you upgrading to?
Well, I procrastinated and am still on 2.05, and I’m trying to upgrade to 2.1 (I’ll get 2.2 eventually). I wasn’t sure if I could upgrade from 2.05 to 2.2 without first going to 2.1?
I probably make things more difficult than they should be.
I’ve only used the basic theme, and haven’t really modified it that I know of, except maybe colors in the header.
I suppose I mean the main index.php file in the root.
do things the easy way, go download 2.0.10 from here..
http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/
dont use the RC ones use the plain old 2.0.10
that will cause you the least pain right now.
Youre a tad behind and the important thing is to take care of the security issues your site is currently open to.
—
ALL of the files in your wordpress root should be deleted before you upload the new files EXCEPT FOR
wp-config.php
Leave your wp-content/themes directory alone.
As long as you dont switch up to 2.1.x you wont need to worry about major theme changes.
Delete everything inside wp-includes/ and wp-admin/ before you upload the new files.
Disable ALL of your plugins before upgrading.
ive been askimeted — I sent you a quick email via the contact form on your site, pandrews. I hope you get it in time 😛
