In reply to: 3.4 Upgrade: Can't log in, doesn't recognize email addressSo when you say, do a fresh download and installation, I have downloaded WP 3.4 and extracted the files. I have FTP access. Are there any files or folders I do NOT copy over?

In reply to: 3.4 Upgrade: Can't log in, doesn't recognize email addressRichard, I used the WP automatic backup plugin. So yes, I have the downloaded database backup file. Also, now I’m pretty sure I’ve deactivated my theme trying ANOTHER tip shared elsewhere in this forum. (I renamed my theme folder – it did not automatically display the 2011 theme like I thought it would, so I changed the folder names back to their originals, now NOTHING displays. Just a blank white page.)

In reply to: Recent upgrade was disaster, is it safe to try again?No, my website right now has a big ol’ black text message on it that says “It works.” I have no idea if this is what’s left after my attempt to upgrade, or if that’s something that popped up when the host folks were trying to fix it. At the time I aborted, I had three folders left on my portion of the server, and my URL was displaying those folders as clickable links in a tree – so, anyone could open them and at least view the contents. I cannot even access it via FTP right now. This is my company website. My personal sites, I haven’t even attempted to upgrade because of this. At my new host, I will be installing v. 2.7 and sticking with that.

In reply to: Recent upgrade was disaster, is it safe to try again?Nick, no it did not. I aborted it because just like you, it was taking a LONG time. Turns out it erased a lot of things on the server – at least, that’s what my (irritated) host told me.
