   I've inherited a wp site for my company. The hosting company upgraded php & Mysql which made it necessary to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress. While I've used WordPress in the pass I've never seen this problem before. I think the update to ver 3.3 was from ver 2.7. Right now I get the following error message

   Warning: Parameter 1 to ec3_filter_posts_where() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/redstrip/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 227

   Warning: Parameter 1 to ec3_filter_posts_join() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/redstrip/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 227

   Warning: Parameter 1 to ec3_filter_posts_fields() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/redstrip/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 227

   On the site and in word press itself. Any suggestions?

   Never try to carry out such a huge upgrade in a single step! Did you make a pre-upgrade database backup?

   I had the hosting site roll the site back to before the update. I may have screwed that up too. I tried to log-in to WordPress and a button showed up asking to up date the databases, i didn't press it, but I'm not sure if WordPress does it automatically.

   I exported the databases via phpAdmin.

   How would I go about upgrading WordPress in stages?

   Thanks for all your help

   Hello, I just discovered the old version via wp-version.php was 2.9.2. Will this change the upgrade strategy?
