 * I’m not very “techy” but I think I got it. Can you tell me what this means? It’s
   what comes up with my webpage. I restored my site to an old version to help fix
   my dilemma! Thanks!

 * In which version wordpress are you facing this problem?
    While upgrading to new
   version of wordpress, how did you upgrade the wordpress – manually or auto update
   from wordpress admin?

 * I’m actually still in 2.7.1. I upgraded but didn’t save that upgrade . . bummer.
   I used my old Filezilla files. I deleted everything and started over.

 * While upgrading manually, you need to complete overwrite all files other than
   wp-content folder with new version wordpress files.
 * If you goto wordpress admin, it will ask database upgrade also. Then new version
   of wordpress will be upgraded successfully.
 * May be some of the plugins might not work due to version compatibility. You need
   to upgrade those plugins from wordpress site.

 * Well, that didn’t seem to work. I tried. . . deleted everything and started over
   fresh with the lastest version. I give up. Unless you have any other ideas, I
   guess I will just build a new database. Bummer! Thanks for your help!
