It was fingers crossedd again and upload the new files. wordpress update time again and this time went with some now all too familiar hitches. The automatic upgrade didn’t work so I’ve ditched the plugin for good now and there seemed to be a few owership issues which my host kindly sorted out for me.
it still astounds me how this system never seems to smoothly upgrade for me. At least this time there wasn’t anything lost on the way through.
After the fiasco of upgrading to wordpress 2.5 and 2.5.1 – Following the database destruction I am reluctant to do any upgrading at the moment. Some firm testing will have to be done before I part with the one I can cope with.
Just in case it doesn’t work too well i’ll be leaving it on XAMPP for a few more weeks and checking the forums for the inevitable questions about what happened to this or that!
Needless to say that Wordpress automatic upgrade plugin works for plugins but not for the site. I’m not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing really.
?
Because of some changes at work posting via the web during the day is going to be a problem. So I’m attempting to set up a blog by email which just isn’t working one bit. Shame really. I’ll carry on trying and post back when it’s actually working!
answers on a postcard please………
Wordpress strikes again
There seem to be a number of issues with Wordpress that are biting my installation. Mix this with an odd ftp problem with my host and this helps to keep this month as a month of pointless fiddling.
Having had to reinstall the whole shooting match and losing the visual editor, ability to edit posts, delete files and folders from my host I’m getting to the point where I’ll be looking for a new CMS if I can’t get this sorted out. So in preparation I’ve install XAMPP onto a flash drive for offline work to try and replicate the faults but so far it’s just not happening.
What should be a simple thing is both frustrating and time consuming. These oh-so-simple systems tend to have hidden caveats or features that are adding to not just mine but a lot of other woes.
