frickin lovely. (update, by the way)
there is no "visual editor" - it says visual, but it's html. If I click on HTML, the editor box closes. And it STINKING DOESN'T COME BACK.
If I follow the upgrade directions, it screws my blog (I'd love to use stronger language...here in my office, I am.)
I don't even know if THIS will work
I'm just going to put ALL of the files back and see what happens then
~~~
Ok...I backed up MzEllen using WinSCP to my desktop. Then I updated wordpress. It screwed my website. REALLY BAD.
So I backgraded to the old version, got my website back.
Downloaded PHPmyadmin for wordpress (it's a plugin), installed it and tried to run it.
I don't know where the backup goes. Ok...got the backup sql file on my desktop.
What happens if the upgrade loses my posts? Can I just use the same backup that I grabbed this morning and put the old version of wordpress up? Or just replace the .sql (which does not have the same name as the one in the WinSCP window.
I think I read that the new wordpress version has automatic backups and upgrades. That would be a good thing.
SCREW IT. I'm leaving it for now.
