   Never had any problem upgrading before...

   After going through the usual stuff I go to the upgrade URL and got the following:

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function: stripos() in /home/omar/public_html/bullspeak/wp-includes/query.php on line 37

   I reloaded the backup to no avail.

   Any ideas?

   I'd first consider deleting the WordPress files and reuploading as per Steps 7 and 8 in Upgrading_WordPress_Extended.

   Let us know if deleting the WordPress files and reuploading as per Steps 7 and 8 in Upgrading_WordPress_Extended does not work for you.

   I just stumbled upon the very same problem that Omar described. Here's a guide that I hereby commit to let others get help, just remember to back-up your files first! The same goes about your WP-database, of course.

   1. Delete \wp-admin and \wp-includes.
   2. Delete every file in the root, that starts with "wp", except for wp-config.php.
   3. Upload the WordPress 2.3-folders and files for wp-admin and wp-includes, followed by all the files in the root.
   4. Go to http://your_domain/wp-admin/upgrade.php and follow the instructions.

   Presto! Now your database should be updated and WordPress 2.3 up and running!
