    Well, I thought I’d first try and ftp all the folders and files and overwrite the existing.

    It didn’t work. The whole site is up and looks fine, but it still shows the error message if I click the plugin browser/install link.

    What I did notice on the video was that it was 2.7 and in the admin section under Tools, there was an option for Upgrading.

    I only have Import & Export as options! I don’t believe this is right…is it?

    I have some blog posts, only a few and some pages, thats all.

    Do I understand correctly – copy any plugins I have and the theme folder I am using to my hard drive.

    What is the name of the file or folder that has the posts in it? Or are they held within the database and therefore would not be affected by copying a new set of files over.

    I have unzipped a new version of WP2.7.1 to a folder /wordpress Can I simply copy all the files over and then upload the theme and plugins?

    I’ve been using Joomla for quite a while and I’m trying to get to grips with WP, so many, many thanks for your help.

    Regards, Nigel

    If I do a manual install and copied the wordpress files to my root as per the video, would it overwrite the plugins and blogs already there?

    Thanks for your replies…

    Figaro: It was done via an auto-installer using cPanel when I set up the url and web space.

    Bartman91: I get the error message when I click on the link. I have uploaded some manually with no problem, but I’d like to be able to do this automatically.
