    Moshu, while I probably wouldn’t have been able to upgrade 10 times (maybe 8), I just completed the upgrade with hardly a glitch. The only glitch, really, has to do with my theme. So I have to figure out one bit of customization I had before. Nevertheless, I thank you so much for your firm graciousness and pointing me to the instructions to complete the upgrade. Indeed, I have a bit more confidence in doing upgrades in the future. In fact, I have absolutely nothing to be anxious about anymore!

    Thank you again.

    LOL!!! Thank you for your candor and assistance. I’ve already backed up the database; and I will be backing up my site shortly.

    Again, thank you for responsiveness. I really did LOL loudly when I read #2 of your response.

    I’m attempting to do a similar process, yet, I need the posts and comments, in addition to the categories, format, look, the “static” stuff.

    As FG says, I’m unable to find information on the forums to answer this question. Please help!!!

    I asked about redirecting, but really what I meant is this: while I’m upgrading my main blog, I’d like to copy everything from the blog that needs updating (.com) to another URL (.net) – posts, comments, pages, categories, etc. I would like for my readers to not know that I’m doing an upgrade to my current blog (.com), so I’d like to redirect from the old blog (.com) to the new blog (.net) with the copied over files. A support person from my host provider tried to walk me through that yesterday, but what happened was that since we were doing a straight copy to a new database, and after doing a redirect (through the cpanel from the old blog to the new), the redirect worked only for the home page. When you clicked on another page, it “redirected” back to the corresponding old blog page (.com). And then when you clicked back on the main page (.net), it also reverted back to the home page of the old blog (.com).

    Is there a way that I can copy over the files to the new blog (.net), but have it always be looking at the files from the new (.net) instead of the old (.com) until I can upgrade my installation on the old (.com)?

    Thank you. I have a lot to read and learn here, evidently. I’ll put forth a little more work here, not be so afraid of the technical, and make it work. Thanks so much for your help!

    No. Thank you. Could you tell me how to copy my blog files to a new domain and redirect?
