Last night I upgraded to wordpress 2.7.\u00a0 I have never had trouble upgrading before but there is a first time for everything and as the saying goes, tech happens.\u00a0 First thing make a back up – done with no trouble.\u00a0 Next begin uploading what I need to my hosting server.\u00a0 This is where trouble began.\u00a0 I could FTP some files but not others.\u00a0 I would receive a notice that I was not an authorized user and did not have rights.\u00a0 So since I was halfway through the install process I now had a broken blog.\u00a0 I could not restore the back up either.\u00a0 So I called my provided and was told I would here back in a few days.\u00a0 Now panic sets in.\u00a0 I know all is not lost and given time things will get back to normal, but my blog is important to me and I hate to see it broken.<\/p>\n
So I send out a call to my network, (twitter<\/a> and plurk<\/a>) in no time I have lots of suggestions and offers a help.\u00a0 Following the advice of my network the trouble is quickly resolved.\u00a0 I finish uploading the wordpress files.\u00a0 I am thinking I might be done shortly, nope not a chance.\u00a0 Next when I begin the upgrade process\u00a0 I get multiple error message, word press cannot find my database, or other messages that it does not recognize my login information.\u00a0 Another call to the network and Jen Wagner<\/a> comes to my aid.\u00a0 We skype<\/a> and she talks through various cycles of installs and uninstalls till finally the blog is up and running.\u00a0 Given time I would have solved it myself but having a buddy who can be calm and thoughtful can certainly reduce stress and makes the process a lot more fun.\u00a0 Thanks everyone and thank you Jen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last night I upgraded to wordpress 2.7.\u00a0 I have never had trouble upgrading before but there is a first time for everything and as the saying goes, tech happens.\u00a0 First thing make a back up – done with no trouble.\u00a0 Next begin uploading what I need to my hosting server.\u00a0 This is where trouble began.\u00a0 I could FTP some files but not others.\u00a0 I would receive a notice that I was not an authorized user and did not have rights.\u00a0…<\/p>\n
