 * When I attempted to upgrade WP on my live site, it turned white and I could not
   login, even from the hosting account. Luckily I have a recent test site. I loaded
   WP Clone on the test site and made a backup. Then deleted the prod site, and 
   did a new install. Installed WP Clone and entered the URL for the backup. I was
   surprised how quick it worked. Important, when I tried to go into Settings it
   redirected to the test site. So I had to edit wp-config.php to hard code in url
   for both WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL. Now it works great.
