A quick workaround is to go into the users table and just add the user_description as an extra field. It seems right now in the nightlys this is missed as a new field. Either that, or start hacking up the code to back out the new stuff regarding user_description calls… But that’s pointless. I’m sure it’ll get fixed down the road, but simply adding this field manually solved my issue, which sounds exactly like your issue. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error Update Users & What should I do?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-update-users-what-should-i-do/) * [pstew21](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pstew21/) * (@pstew21) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-update-users-what-should-i-do/#post-91654) * It looks like user_description is new, but the install / upgrade scripts aren’t adding that column to the users table. I just went in to the table and added it, but it should be fixed in the upgrade or install scripts somewhere. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error Update Users & What should I do?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-update-users-what-should-i-do/) * [pstew21](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pstew21/) * (@pstew21) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-update-users-what-should-i-do/#post-91650) * Getting same error.

Reason being, doing a clean install of WP and reimporting the posts, this would be really handy for troubleshooting, cleaning, upgrades, etc. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [RSS Mod_Rewrite Problems](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-mod_rewrite-problems/) * Thread Starter [pstew21](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pstew21/) * (@pstew21) * [22 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-mod_rewrite-problems/#post-56835) * Ok, cleared out cache on Firefox and that seemed to fix it, wierd * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [RSS Mod_Rewrite Problems](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-mod_rewrite-problems/) * Thread Starter [pstew21](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pstew21/) * (@pstew21) * [22 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-mod_rewrite-problems/#post-56831) * Ok, really odd now, it works with Internet Explorer, but not Firefox and just my site???

As for preserving hacks, that’s why there is the plugins function now… Move all the hacks to plugins, and upgrades will go much smoother… The upgrade / changed files package should not include the index.php or at least change the name to default_index.php or something like that so it wouldn’t overwrite your index.php that may or may not be customized and then give us the ability to view any radical code / template changes, if any… Just my two cents. Also, I’d suggest some sort of export option for posts and comments so one can do a clean install of WP and then reimport entries… I had to do this the hard way already due to some db changes (before I realized upgrade.php took care of it) and think an export entries and import entries back in including comments would come in handy for upgrades as well as backups and site moves… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Export from WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-from-wordpress/) * [pstew21](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pstew21/) * (@pstew21) * [22 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-from-wordpress/#post-46882) * I’d like to see a export entries option as well in WP. Not that I plan on dumping WP, but for a couple of reasons… One, the ability to start fresh with a clean install of WP and reimport only the entries… Two, backup. Sure I can backup my MySQL db, but having a quick backup of all my entries in a text file that is a universal would aid in the long future of my content… Maybe the RSS import option would do what is needed, just export all the entries to an .xml file and use the RSS import to bring them back in? Would this be robust enough??? And does anyone have templates for the RSS export of all entries with comments and all meta data? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [vBulletin Style Page Navigation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/vbulletin-style-page-navigation/) * [pstew21](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pstew21/) * (@pstew21) * [22 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/vbulletin-style-page-navigation/page/3/#post-30127) * Any chance this can be mod’d to a plugin?
