    Rosemary. But even my drag and drop images are less quality than the original.

    I have a question;

    Why can’t I manually input everything that’s supposed to be in the wp-db.php file? I copy and paste it from the actual file you download here, but when I save it doesn’t save everything. It stops at a certain line.

    Was there information in the ORIGINAL file that directly correlated with the page? This seems to be the ONLY file preventing me from fixing the issue.

    I was able to load all her posts and such in a different WP Account, less the theme which is irrelevant because we bought a new one to apply after migration. This makes me believe I could apply to a new account and put it on my new database? And just sync it with the appropriate domain?

    I just spoke to our old webhost and they said “everything was current”, but that doesn’t make sense to me because there were messages on the top of her admin panel that said it needed to be updated. He has an other backup, I’m going to wait and see if he could send me that copy… It’s been a stressful weekend trying to get this back online. I’m about to just pay someone………..

    I went to the readme file and that was updated to the newest version, 4.2.2. I never actually backed up the public html file until AFTER I tried manually updating. I just sent an email to our original host to see if he’d know what version we had and if he possibly has a backup.

    I have a question; What if we can’t ‘fix’ this… Could we somehow give the site a fresh start using the current version? I’m assuming all the posts would remain and I could just manually add files from the backup I have now + install our new theme. Is this possible without deeply affecting the site?

    I made a 2nd topic because I realized my problem had nothing to do with figuring out what the syntax error was. I’m receiving that error because of what I did in manually installing. SO instead of confusing would be help, making a direct and concise topic seemed better in my eyes.

    What was the exact error message you were getting on trying to auto update?
    – I don’t remember

    did you take a full file AND database backup before attempting to update?
    – I still have the ‘public’ files from the website + I backed up the SQL and I have the XML copy, but not the actual files downloaded before I updated.

    What version of WordPress was the site on before attempting to update?

    – 3. “something”

    Did you attempt to (auto) update the plugins before the manual update? If so were the plugins all up to date?
    – I remember there being out of date plugins, but did not update any.

    Did yiu deactivate the plugins before attempting to update?
    -I deactivated ALL the plugins before I did anything.

    What steps did take when trying to update?
    – I downloaded the WordPress files from here, in the wordpress folder; opened FileZilla and put in all the host, usn and pw information; went to /public_html>wp-includes and drug everything from the wordpress folder in local to the remote site. I’m assuming I ONLY affected everything in this directory (/public_html>wp-includes)

    What is the exact error message you get when trying to access the site now?

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file, expecting function (T_FUNCTION) in /home/betsyv/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 2781

    The answers to these questions may provide valuable clues to help with diagnosing what went wrong and may help with suggesting the next steps to take to try to fix the issue.

    I hate to sound amateur…but I am fully capable of digesting everything, so bare with me.

    How can I be sure I have that?
