Title: Did it work? Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Did it work? * Resolved [lexl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lexl/) * (@lexl) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/) * I upgraded from 2.02 (I think) to 2.03 (I think). Did a back up, deleted those things I was supposed to delete, replaced them with new things, ran the upgrade. php script, was told that it worked, etc. * Problem is that nothin _appears_ to be any different on the dashboard or in the write pages. Not from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 to 2.0.3. And at the bottom of the admin pages, it still reads, WordPress – Documentation – Support forums – **2.0.1**– 0.26 seconds. * So: Did it work?

Back to the drawing board 🙁 * Thread Starter [lexl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lexl/) * (@lexl) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/#post-402890) * Can’t think what I’m doing wrong – this is my third run through, and I’m still showing 2.0.1 * Anybody else have a clue? * [Nazgul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nazgul/) * (@nazgul) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/#post-402893) * The version shown in the dashboard comes from this file: /wp-includes/version. php * Open your local source and your remote source and check what those files contains. * Thread Starter [lexl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lexl/) * (@lexl) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/#post-402908) * Thanks for the assist. As far as I could tell, they were identical. Just for kicks, I trashed the old version.php on the remote, and FTP’d a new copy. Ran the upgrade.php file again, still no joy. * Gosh. * [Nazgul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nazgul/) * (@nazgul) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/#post-402918) * They may be identical, but what is the version number specified in it? * Because I think your local source is a 2.0.1. source. So you’re trying to upgrade from 2.0.1 to 2.0.1. * Thread Starter [lexl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lexl/) * (@lexl) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/#post-403040) * Well, I thank you for your persistence in helping. But the source file came straight out of ofthe 2.0.3.zip bundle. Guess I’ll just keep plugging away at it. Hmm. * Thread Starter [lexl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lexl/) * (@lexl) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/#post-403041) * Ran it again, same results. Deleted everything but WP-Content and config.php * That’s frustrating. The only files in there that I can see which are *not* updated from the 2.0.3 bundle as of 6/12 (or so) are the * wp-images folder wp-config.php smilies folder php.ini error_log cgi-bin folder 500.shtml 500.php 404.shtml 403.shtml 401.shtml 400.shtml * and a number of clearly non-WP files. * Rats. With a ball peen hammer. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/#post-403042) * Are you positive you’re installing the new version to the right place? For instance, I noticed your Akismet isn’t the current version… is dated back in Feb. * Are you getting your download from [http://wordpress.org/download/](http://wordpress.org/download/)? Are you making sure you don’t have any old installs of WP laying around before unpacking the fresh download? * Thread Starter [lexl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lexl/) * (@lexl) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/#post-403075) * Thanks for your patience, all: Turns out I’d loaded the 2.0.2 files to the top level of the webhost, and not to the public_html directory that the blog itself is accessed from. Thus, when deleting and replacing the old files, I was in the“ wrong hole.” * All better now.
