Settings > Reading? Isn’t it there in your install?
(the former Options are now under Settings)
Hi, No, not under the settings options either. Not under settings>reading.
If [cherisecarter.com/blog/] is the blog you said you upgraded to 2.5, no, it’s still in 2.3.3. I could be seriously wrong though.
By the way, it IS under Settings > Reading like rudolf45 suggested.
WP-INSTALL/wp-admin/options-reading.php
make sure to check that you still have the pages.
I just had the same problem. I had to move the database location of a WP 2.3.3 website, and upgrade it to 2.5 . Ok, I created the database at the new location and imported it, edited the “home” and “siteurl” options directly there, and proceded with the settings. however the option to display a certain front page wasn’t there… I finally looked at the code, and noticed it checks if there are pages. knowing I did have pages, I went to ensure that, and discovered that I didn’t have my pages anymore…
what solved the problem was dropping the database entirely and re-making it as Collation, instead of what I had chosen previously, and then the import worked correctly. pages are there, and (surprise surprise) the “Front page displays” option is there as well.
might be a long shot, but worth checking.
