nervous nell
I’m attempting to manually upgrade Wordpress. I am afraid. I am very afraid. I think-hope I’ve taken all steps necessary to secure the site…if not…I bid you all farewell…temporarily at least.
I haven’t done this kind of thing for a year now. This is not like riding a bike.
My head hurts.
UPDATE: There are five files in Wordpress 2.5.1 that I’m unable to upload to my server. I spent most of the yesterday trying to get these files uploaded and the problem even stumped my server’s support team. How the files are named is causing all the trouble. There are too many (.)s in the file names. I’m in wait mode now to see if the support team can come up with a solution.
UPDATE 2: My host, Dot5Hosting, has not come through to fix this issue as of yet. I spent an hour explaining the situation to tech support via live chat, only to be told that an expert would have to look into the problem. Apparently, the issue was not clearly defined for the expert, because I received a “resolved” message stating that the expert was able to upload a file to my site, so there was no issue. I responded to the “resolved” message by explaining the situation all over again. I also went to the Wordpress forum for help; maybe they can at least tell me how to tell my host to fix this. Again, I’m in wait mode. I detest wait mode. It gets me cranky.
