My 1.0.1 blog has been working just fine.<br \/>\nI downloaded the 1.0.2 package and unzipped it to my local computer. My web site is located at a remote server.<br \/>\nI went to the readme.html in the 1.0.2 package. Following the directions in readme.html, I did the following.<br \/>\n1) Made a backup of my data. (Done)<br \/>\n2) went to sitename\/wp-admin\/upgrade.php. This resulted in numerous SQL errors. At the bottom of the errors was the message &#8220;There&#8217;s actually only one step. So if you see this, you&#8217;re done. Have fun!&#8221;<br \/>\nNeedless to say, my blog was not upgraded to 1.0.2. I verified this by logging into the administration interface and looking at the version number.<br \/>\nThe readme.html instructions are defective for upgrading to 1.0.2 from previous WordPress versions.<br \/>\nThe Wiki is equally vague.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.wordpress.org\/index.php\/Installation%20FAQs\">https:\/\/wiki.wordpress.org\/index.php\/Installation%20FAQs<\/a><br \/>\nShould I delete all the WordPress files on my web site (except upgrade.php) and then go to upgrade.php? Should I upload (via FTP) all the new WordPress 1.0.2 files to my server, overwriting the old versions, and only then go to upgrade.php? How do I actually get the new files to my server, and how does that fit in with upgrade.php?<br \/>\nThe 1.0.2 readme.html file says &#8220;It is strongly recommended that you use the new index.php for your templates.&#8221; Why? I&#8217;ve edited my index.html file. It was painstakingly done. Do I have to make a copy of that before I upgrade, and then go about the tedious manual process of putting in all my changes all over again? Is there a shortcut?<br \/>\nAll help is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-48084","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/48084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/48084\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
