 * Hey guys,
    I just upgraded my WordPress instalation to 1.2, I did it through 
   the Fantastico automatic installation thingy on my server. Well, I was warned
   that all themes were going to disappear, what I didn’t know is that not only 
   that was going to happen but also there would be no posts at all and a big fat
   error on the top part of the blog. I have a backup of the old version, but I 
   really wanna be able to function the same way without having to downgrade. The
   error I get is the following: Database error: [Unknown column ‘post_date_gmt’
   in ‘where clause’] SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND post_date_gmt
   <= ‘2004-07-30 16:10:59’ AND (post_status = “publish”) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER
   BY post_date DESC LIMIT 20 Whatever that’s supposed to mean, I checked for the
   SQL preferences on the server and everything was linked properly. I’t would be
   highly appreciated if someone could provide me with some help. Thanks a ton in
   advance!

 * The upgrade is done.
    I assume you used a control panel to do it ? Even so, that
   cpanel does not run the necessary upgrade script – it’s not uncommon for this.

 * If it was called ‘wp-layout.css’ then yes, I’m afraid it is.
    Any other image
   directories should not be affected. If you need any help in starting over with
   your css, then post again and start a new thread – help will head your way 🙂

 * nope nope it’s not wp-layout.css
    it was a page on its own. as in the template
   is a self-made one without extrenal links to css.
