 * Hi All
    Updating to 3.5 website ([http://taministries.net/](http://taministries.net/))
   it started to configure then went blank then this came up. Fatal error: Cannot
   redeclare sticky_class() (previously declared in D:\Hosting\5988467\html\wp-includes\
   post-template.php:584) in D:\Hosting\5988467\html\wp-includes\deprecated.php 
   on line 3192
 * Now I can not get back on site, this site was built for me a year ago, all I 
   do is maintain it, an add to it, but I don’t have coding on my computer.
    I have
   a back up I made after I did the clean if this will help. I am in the deep end
   now. bigpetev

 * Try:
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management
   application your host provides. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can 
   still cause problems.
 * – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-
   content/themes using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever
   file management application your host provides.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – except the **wp-content folder** from a **
   fresh** download of WordPress. by using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)
   or whatever file management application your host provides. ([manual upgrade](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update))
 * – re-running the upgrade via wp-admin/upgrade.php

 * Hi Keesiemeijer
    Sorry I just do not know much about FTP or manual upgrade to
   fix this problem, I only know how to get into trouble not out of it.
 * Bigpetev
 * I will continue to study & hopefully find a solution.

 * If you have decent hosting they might be able to help, otherwise, you might want
   to hire someone to help you.
 * Good luck.

 * Hi Every one
    we have now, got our website up and running.
 * At some point on 11/12/2012 the main config file had been chopped & some of it
   was missing – !!!!!!!!
 * We have now updated the word-press site to the latest version, we under toke 
   this from our log-in at our hosting site as any other way refused to work. Does
   anyone know of any good plugins that we can use, so this does not happen in the
   future.
 * 1. Backup website fully
    2. Spam comptroller 3. Security.
