hello,
something strange happen again (strange to me cause i’m a newbie for sure!):

• yesterday i upgraded to WordPress 2.6.2 and nothing changed (still had errors on control panel, no theme linkage and plugins were all missing)
• today i went back to movingcities.org and suddenly the site was on! then i changed the theme from default to the custom grid-focus and now all (on the skin) is working just fine…
• so as for now, no more errors on the WordPress control panel, but plugins are still reading all errors:

Warning: is_dir():
Stat failed for /hsphere/local/home/moisasco/movingcities.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/akismet (errno=13 – Permission denied) in /hsphere/local/home/moisasco/movingcities.org/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php on line 53

i understood there must be a lot of corrupt files and i don’t know how to solve the plugin issue.
so i guess i really have to revert to backup (even if that one is more than a month old)…
but can you advise on another way to restore this?
is there any way (as a “sand-box”??) to make a compromise with what i have, so not to lose so much info?

thank you, i really apreciate your advice,
mónica

thanks for your imput UseShots.
all is there and with permission.
i guess i have to re-install WordPress based on local backup.
again, thank you for answering.
