In reply to: 2.8 won’t let me EDIT php or css files… what’s up?You will need to check your file permissions. They may have changed during the upgrade.

In reply to: Lost My BlogIf you have the database and custom files (theme etc) from your earlier version of WordPress, restore your site to the old version and wait for WordPress 2.8.1.
There’s 53 bugs in the tracker already for 2.8 and it might be that you are hitting one of these issues.
Alternatively, visit the tracker and see if anyone has reported the same issues you are having, and if any fix has been given yet.

In reply to: Error when upgrading to WP2.8The last.fm plugin is old and is clearly not compatible with WordPress 2.8. I suspect it just might be updated soon though as the developer’s own site has that same error showing on it 😉
I’d recommend uninstalling it and waiting for an updated plugin.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: 2.8 is evilI had the same experience with two of my blogs. It seems that this has been identified as a bug in 2.8 and a fix has been submitted. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10140

In reply to: Unable to automatically update anythingThe error occurs if there is a conflict with a plugin. The Automatic Upgrade plugin is one culprit. If you are getting this error try temporarily disabling your plugins until after the upgrade is completed.

In reply to: 2.8 upgraded, but Database Upgrade Required.. WTF?It looks as though you are getting server errors. If you have access to your server logs, have a look at the error logs and see what its reporting. It may be that this is an issue that you will need to ask your host to look into.

In reply to: Can you give a page an exact address?Create a page with the page slug you want to appear, and publish it. The slug gives the page URI.

In reply to: Need to call js scripts on only ONE page, not all headers…Check that your themes and plugins are compatible with WordPress 2.8 (or that you can manage without them until they are updated) and upgrade. 2.8 allows for JavaScript to be added to the footer, and for it to be called only when needed.

In reply to: Error when upgrading to WP2.8These error messages relate to some new functions for deflate and gzip transfer encodings. They appear to be indicating that the upgrade package has not been able to be correctly unzipped.
To recover from this, just temporarily deactivate your plugins, do a backup, and do a manual upgrade of 2.8. The manual upgrade will check to see if your database has already been upgraded and, if it hasn’t been, it will take you to the database upgrade.
Don’t ignore these errors because its highly likely that you have not got a complete install of 2.8 yet.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: Joomla user to wordpressThere isn’t a reliable script available that can port Joomla users to WordPress. I found one a couple of years ago (can’t recall where it was, but I found it through Google I think) but it made such a mess of the user data that I ended up starting over.
If you are comfortable with mapping the database tables you should be able to create your own SQL query. But the easiest alternative is to just ask your users to create new accounts. If you already have content submitted by users you can manually copy/paste the usernames, set up a temporary password and just ask them to login and set a new password on first visit.
Hope this helps.
