   BACKGROUND: [If you want you can just skip to "NEW PROBLEM"]
   My website:
   http://fengshuistyle.us

   By the way, I used "Binary" setting with FTP to copy my wordpress files, not ASCII, and I saw someone say you should use "ASCII". However, tt worked great until I upgraded to 2.3.2.

   My website is hosted on Godaddy, so I upload WordPress to the site, and use it to code my site. Everything was going great, and I decided to upgrade to WP 2.3.2. Everything broke.

   When you went to my site, you got errors regarding wp-config.php and default-filters.php and wp-settings.php to the tune of:

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function: add_filter() on line 4

   [And another one -- something like "cannot redefine add_filter.......it's already defined on line blah blah]

   At one point, I went to the line of code in question, and copied the version from before and after the upgrade. Here they are:
   -----------------------------------------------------------
   function add_filter($tag, $function_to_add, $priority = 10, $accepted_args = 1) {
   global $wp_filter, $merged_filters;
   -----------------------------------------------------------
   function add_action($tag, $function_to_add, $priority = 10, $accepted_args = 1) {
   add_filter($tag, $function_to_add, $priority, $accepted_args);
   -----------------------------------------------------------

   As I was attempting to "fix" things, I think I also got:

   "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: nocache_headers() in /home/content/f/e/n/fengshuistyle/html/wp-login.php on line 7"

   [I may not be completely accurate on the above, because I'm doing them from memory, since I now have different errors]

   NEW PROBLEM:
   I tried to "fix" the above errors, to no avail, and since I had made a complete backup beforehand, I decided to revert the old version of WP (August 2006 - not sure of the version number), and now I get:

   Warning: main(/home/content/f/e/n/fengshuistyle/html/wp-settings.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/f/e/n/fengshuistyle/html/wp-config.php on line 20

   Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/content/f/e/n/fengshuistyle/html/wp-settings.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/f/e/n/fengshuistyle/html/wp-config.php on line 20

   I know it's something bonehead easy, but since my site is completely hosed, the panic is setting in.

   Can someone please throw me a bone?

   This was all done via FTP on Godaddy.

   Hopefully,

   -Jennifer

   This may sound simplistic, but I'd first consider deleting the WordPress files and reuploading as per Steps 7 and 8 in Upgrading_WordPress_Extended.

   Hi Michael,

   Thanks for getting back to me! Yes, I did that (twice) and the second time I made sure I was using the "ASCII" switch on my FTP.

   What I'm starting to think is that I didn't include ALL the dot files in my backup........and essentially, when I reverted back to the old version, some of the new files had already munged things.

   I couldn't fix it, so I restored a backup of my website.

   I had the same exact problem on the same exact host. I went in and renamed my wp-settings.php file to -old and then added the new default one from the zip (which I don't normally do) and then I was able to go to the site w/o errors and upgrade the database and all is working great the only difference is I upgraded to 2.3.3, hope this helps anyone else that may have issues with the wordpress upgrade on godaddy hosting.
