Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Help… My Site is down after upgrade!After it said “update needed” and to click the upgrade database link, I did it, then it said “no upgrade needed”. I wish it would have just said that at the beginning.
Everything seems fine again…
Just wonder if I should ever try to update it to latest versions again…Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Help… My Site is down after upgrade!Yea, I know, I screwed up. sorry.
After I got my reset password via email, its sitting there waiting for me to click that Upgrade Database link. So you think I should go ahead and do it now? I just know it screwed me up before.
By the way, Thanks for your patience. -:) This is the only thread Ive been updating now.
I wont do that again. I was just kinda panicking I guess.

In reply to: Help… My Site is down after upgrade!Thanks,
Here’s whats happening now. godaddy restored files from when it was working version 2.5.3. I changed the wp-config file so that the password is correct. Now my site comes up OK. I can even log into the MYSQL database with the correct username and password (same password as wp-config).
So after the failed upgrade, its back to previous version 2.5.3.
The problem is I still got an “incorrect password” when I try to login so I got a new password via email.
That got me to this:
Database Upgrade Required
Your WordPress database is out-of-date, and must be upgraded before you can continue.The upgrade process may take a while, so please be patient.
What does this actually do? Im afraid to do it because thats where it hosed my site earlier.
If I do this, is there a way to easily recover from it if it goes bad?

In reply to: Help! Can’t login after upgrade and now my site is downHi Samboll,
I apologize, I started another post today before looking at this. My bad.
I tried these and must have screwed up something when using myphpadmin.
I ended up having my hosting acct restore all files from the pevious night before I tried the upgrade, figuring it would put everything back to the 2.5 version, just like it was. This is a very simple blog with a static page as home page. Site is http://www.crestviewmarketing.com
They did the restore which I thought would take care of everything and I would just leave it alone, but I still cant see my site, getting “page not found”. It’s installed in the root and I see all the files with my ftp acct. The hosting acct os OK cuz if I load the old index.htm page, it comes up, so wordpress must do something that overrides the use of an index file and something else is screwed up.
If I type http://www.crestviewmarketing.com/wp-login, it says “page not found”, but the file and other wordpress filers are there!
What can I do? The hosting company says it is a WordPress issue, so I am stuck. I dont want to make it any worse.
At this point I cant do anything.
If you need any more details, let me know. I’m not a database person but I’ll do what I can.
Thanks so much,

In reply to: Home Page loads very slow, compared to last weekNo, other sites were fine plus I was informed by a client how slow it was, and when I tried it at my office, it was awful slow.
Today, it is loading normally for whatever reason (Thanks Computer Gods. Maybe the hosting account had issues? Who knows.
anyway, Thanks for your response!

It all depends on your style and purpose.
I just downloaded the Mandigo theme. Flexible, nice and clean plus easy to modify.

In reply to: changed blog setting URL and now cant access anythingI looked at this link, but how do I get into phpMyadmin?
1) Use phpMyAdmin and change the values for the “siteurl” and “home” options in the *_options table to the correct url.
