My apologies to the mods for a somewhat duplicatitve post.
I have made progress and now have an error to deal with
In order to connect to my localhost to install the files I need to edit, I changed the wp-config to localhost from the IP it is hosted on.
I am now geting: “Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_network_admin” which readoing posts on this forum appears to mean an upgrade failed and a manual upgrade is the solution.
Which makes sense because I just installed WP Version 3.1.3, but the site files I FTPed had not been updated to 3.1.3.
I am unsure whether I should just accept the upgrade and FTP the files again, or start over.
Any links to articles that discuss how to begin editing existing WordPress files appreciated.
I do have all the passwords. All I know about the server is it is Linux.
