But I was using the AdRotator widget/plugin to carry my BlogAds content in four separate “widgets” numbered 1-4. Now, no matter what html content is in the different widgets it shows the content from the #1 widget. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [2.1 Upgrade: Plugins and Themes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/21-upgrade-plugins-and-themes/) * Thread Starter [lexl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lexl/) * (@lexl) * [19 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/21-upgrade-plugins-and-themes/#post-518299) * Well thanks for that last bit – I’ll give it a go. * **Update**: And it worked.

Thus, when deleting and replacing the old files, I was in the“ wrong hole.” * All better now. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Did it work?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/) * Thread Starter [lexl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lexl/) * (@lexl) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/#post-403041) * Ran it again, same results. Deleted everything but WP-Content and config.php * That’s frustrating. The only files in there that I can see which are *not* updated from the 2.0.3 bundle as of 6/12 (or so) are the * wp-images folder wp-config.php smilies folder php.ini error_log cgi-bin folder 500.shtml 500.php 404.shtml 403.shtml 401.shtml 400.shtml * and a number of clearly non-WP files. * Rats.

But the source file came straight out of ofthe 2.0.3.zip bundle. Guess I’ll just keep plugging away at it. Hmm. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Did it work?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/) * Thread Starter [lexl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lexl/) * (@lexl) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/#post-402908) * Thanks for the assist. As far as I could tell, they were identical. Just for kicks, I trashed the old version.php on the remote, and FTP’d a new copy. Ran the upgrade.php file again, still no joy. * Gosh. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Did it work?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/) * Thread Starter [lexl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lexl/) * (@lexl) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/#post-402890) * Can’t think what I’m doing wrong – this is my third run through, and I’m still showing 2.0.1 * Anybody else have a clue? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Did it work?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/) * Thread Starter [lexl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lexl/) * (@lexl) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-it-work/#post-402886) * Well, thanks. Back to the drawing board 🙁 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [404 not working after upgrade to 2.0.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-not-working-after-upgrade-to-201/) * [lexl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lexl/) * (@lexl) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-not-working-after-upgrade-to-201/#post-329739) * Well, I guess I wanked too soon. All better now. Not sure if this is the same problem to which you were referring, but I set the default theme, turned all the plugins off (again) deleted everything from the server except the wp-config, content and images folder and reinstalled one more time. * After that reset my theme and went through the plugins one at a time. Had to goof with runPHP and ELA through a few sequences to get it right. * Good luck.
