In reply to: Upgrade to 3.0 FailsI am back to square one. I use host gator. I tried making changes to my wp-config file, and when I saved them the whole file disappeared. What a mess. Now nothing works.
I am getting upset over this. Here is my latest error when I try to do anything in my blog now.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_option() in /home/myusername/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 22

In reply to: I lost my blog when upgrading to 3.0I guess I will have to do a manual upgrade, too. Some of my blogs will upgrade and some won’t. It is really frustrating.

In reply to: Turn Website into WordPress BlogI have wanted to turn a website into a blog for quite some time now. I used the links given here and have posted on Lorelle’s blog seeking some help there.
My main question is how am I going to transfer all the pages of content from the website over to the blog? I used a site editor for this website when I was a newbie to building websites so there is no FTP capabilities.So to recreate the website as a blog might be a huge undertaking. It is worth it? Here is the url of the website if it will help you to give feedback. Click here to see the site.
Thanks for anyone who can give me some help.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Can’t log In after upgrade to 2.6I just upgraded to 2.6.5 and have been trying for hours to “fix it” so I can log in. I have sent for a new password several times and nothing works. I am hosted at GoDaddy. I have read all the help posts on the forum but this is the one I finally found for 2.6. I have upgraded 2 other blogs hosted with HostGator with no problems. I have tried everything mentioned in the posts on the forum for wordpress.org, but nothing is working. Maybe I should go back to 2.6?
I see the 2 month old posts….eeeks…no follow-ups on those? I hope someone can help me.

In reply to: lost ID and passwordWow! I used this information today. Thank you all. I thought I was doomed to start my blog over, but now I do not have to.
I could not log into my blog at all. I tried to resend the password, but then the key or something was wrong. Something was preventing me from getting into my blog. It was not a good feeling. After looking around the files and at the PHP codes and not finding anything there, I looked into the database. I found the password area for wp_user, and that lead to some discoveries but nothing I did there could fix it and I was so afraid I was going to destroy my data base.
I think I messed up because I had and admin account and a user account with the same email addresses. That was when I figured it was time to see if WordPress.org could help me. Thank goodness for your support forum!
I used that Codex link and followed the steps in my Data Base, and it worked! I had tried it earlier but did not know what M5 was. So when I saw that step I felt that had to be what I needed to do.
I am not all that much of a tech person, but I know where to go for help and this really was very helpful.
Thanks! I even wrote a blog post about my experience and referenced this page. I hope you don’t mind if I include it, but I want to be able to help other people in the same situation.

I was having similar trouble and used the link above to help me get my password reset. I use GoDaddy hosting for this blog and it was easy to connect to the Data Base and follow the steps given in a link in this post that lead to codex something. I am not a techie person but by reading and following the directions I was able to figure it out.
YAY.
Thanks for all the WP help.
