   The major difference between a post and a page is that the post_type field in the wp_posts table is either 'post' or 'page' so might check your database.

   Also, do you have a database backup from before the upgrade? What version did you upgrade from?

   MichealH,

   I upgraded from 2.3. I was able to just change the post status from post to page in the tables, but there are other things in 2.5 that don't seem to work, like the image insert tool. The Flash upload doesn't work at all, and once I'm able to upload using the browser option, it doesn't actually insert the image into my post...it just hangs.

   But the thing about changing pages to post worries me the most. I mean, you can't tell which things were posts to begin with and which were pages, unless you know the blog really well. It seems like a lot of people are having issues with 2.5.

   I do have a full db and file back up.

   Thanks.

   Well if you are uncomfortable, restoring the 2.3.1 database and redoing the upgrade.php process might be in order.

   For your uploading issues please review:
