This did resolve the issue — by updating my PHP version via my hosting company, I was able to update to the most recent version of WP and the initial problem is fixed.
Just FYI in case anyone else ever has the same issue. 🙂
Thanks Michael… I did a search on the help for my host, although it looks like the highest available is 5.2 not specifically 5.2.4, so I guess I will be waiting “up to 24 hours” to see if that did anything. Unfortunately, I really don’t have the time at the moment to sit on the phone with my host.
Not to mention the energy drag!
So hopefully this works. I guess I’ll just put it on hold for the moment!
