I think they upgraded the WordPress version becuase i don’t see that little nag screen asking to update. * Thread Starter [storpappa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/storpappa/) * (@storpappa) * [18 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/godaddy-wordpress-issues/#post-674783) * They upgraded? Are you using one of the webhosting tools auto install and update bundles? * If you can – get off of all of their preinstalled versions and do it yourself– cuteFTP, download the bits from here and be in charge of your own bits. It does require some technical work, but better to know what you have for your own benefit. * I honestly cannot think they that auto update those that preinstall though. That would be a pretty big leap. * [arlo-gilbert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arlo-gilbert/) * (@arlo-gilbert) * [17 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/godaddy-wordpress-issues/#post-674986) * I am having this issue again * [leemason](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leemason/) * (@leemason) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/godaddy-wordpress-issues/#post-674990) * I’m having the same problems. customer service person said it was my problem, they only provide the platform. they said it was because I needed to optimize my tables. * I optimized and guess what… same problem. I’m moving to another host.
