    Hi moshu, thank you again for replying.

    This database (the one I was viewing) is the one WordPress 2.5 attempted to upgrade, after clicking ‘upgrade’ at the wp-admin/upgrade.php screen.

    I have a backup of the database from just before installing 2.5.

    So, I will import the old database with this install of 2.5, then visit wp-admin/upgrade.php again. If this fails, I will reinstall 2.3 over 2.5 & re-import the backup.

    If that fails, I believe I have a serious issue. 🙂

    Thank you,
    Kevin

    Ok, I’ve installed and configured phpmyadmin.

    I’m browsing wp_posts, and it looks like everything is there. Full post texts, doc ID’s, titles, etc. I have them sorted by date, all posts are present.

    So I guess I’m really not sure what the problem is. I don’t see anything else unusual there either – anything specific you might have to suggest that I should look for?

    Thanks again.

    Hi again moshu, thank you for replying.

    This problem occured after clicking to upgrade the old database.

    I could delete everything and go back to 2.3, then try upgrading to 2.5 again, and letting it upgrade the database again, but I’m not sure what caused the problem in the first place..

    In the past, I was able to insert tables from one WordPress database to another using Navcat. I’m not sure my current host supports this, but if it does, maybe I could just insert the ‘posts’ table into the current database and fix the problem?

    This was according to the 3 step process in the upgrade procedures.

    Differences was an assumption on my part. When I browsed /wp-admin/upgrade.php after deleting/uploading the appropriate folders to upgrade, the page displayed the database was out of date & needed to be upgraded.

    I am assuming since everything is visible accept the actual content, database tables were changed in the new version? But I’m not sure.

    In any case, I assume I can not simply upload the database backup from version 2.3 to my upgraded install of 2.5, correct?
