In reply to: Can’t run upgrade.php on 2.3.1 upgradeMichael, you hung in there with me. It’s working now.
I’m not terribly dumb but I feel it. I had not (and I’m embarrassed to admit it) uploaded the individual files under the wordpress directory. Your response that WordPress has 22 individual files made the light bulb click on. You’re correct to keep directing us novices back to the basics.
I’ve passed along a word of public thanks in my site http://www.wmccnews.com.
Many thanks.

In reply to: Can’t run upgrade.php on 2.3.1 upgradeJust finished that. No change. Made sure that FileZilla was in auto detect, too.
Questions:
1. Is upgrade.php supposed to generate all those wp-* files I deleted in the root directory? For example, I added back in wp-settings.php per kgagne’s suggestion, but was upgrade.php to have regenerated that? If so, something else is keeping upgrade.php from running (I guess).
2. I’m using the Minima Plus theme. That wouldn’t prevent the upgrade.php script from running, would it?
3. Last question: The last error message I got after I added back in wp-settings.php was a “call to undefined function” that pointed to line 8 of my default-filters.php. That line reads:
add_filter(‘comment_text’, ‘wptexturize’);
What in the world would I do to that?
You do a great service. Thanks.

In reply to: Can’t run upgrade.php on 2.3.1 upgradeThanks very much to both of you.
I had not changed my wp-config.php file (the instructions were forcefully clear not to touch it!).
But I took kgagne’s advice and looked to see if I had a wp-settings.php file. I did not, because the instructions said to delete all wp-* files except for the wp-config.php file (and some named folders). So I added back in my old wp-settings.php file.
Upgrade.php still won’t run but I get a different error message this time:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: add_filter() in /home/wmccnews/public_html/wp-includes/default-filters.php on line 8
What say you?

In reply to: Upgrading 2.0.3 to 2.0.4: No database upgrade linkOops. Fuggitaboutit. (Didn’t have index.php in root directory.) Am going to forget about lack of prompt.

In reply to: Upgrading 2.0.3 to 2.0.4: No database upgrade linkOne more thing: question marks appear over the name of each directory of the server as appears in the remote treeview of Filezilla.

In reply to: Upgrading 2.0.3 to 2.0.4: No database upgrade linkI followed the uplead steps but was not was not “prompted to click on the link to upgrade your database.” But worse – the only thing that shows up now on my browser is the directory of file names and not the graphical home page. (Although, I did get the graphical dashboard by selecting [mysite]/wp-admin/.)
What is wrong? Also, what am I suposed to do to upgrade.php?
