What will happen to my database when I upgrade?

WPOso — Sun, 16 Feb 2014 18:10:10 +0000

I’m not using WordPress yet. Rather, I have a series of websites I designed myself. They’re essentially one big CMS, with static pages on MySite2, MySite3, etc. linked to a series of includes on MySite that handle the preliminaries, database queries, etc.

I’m now planning on combining all my sites into sort of an encyclopedia that functions something like Wikipedia. I won’t delete the other sites; rather, articles will be available at the original URL and at the new location on MySite/Geopedia.

To get to the point, I’m wondering if it’s time to upgrade to a CMS, like WordPress or Drupal. I have a thousand questions and will have to download and install both and play with them a while. But here’s one question I’d like to ask now…

I have a pretty big series of database tables with articles about a wide variety of topics – mammals, birds, plants, symbols, politics and on and on. If I want to upgrade my sites to WordPress, am I going to have to modify these DB tables, or do I need to let WordPress create new tables, then copy the articles from my original tables to the new database?

I think I need to retain a series of tables, rather than put all my content in one table because of size limits. I tried importing a local table into my online database recently and got a message that it was too big. (I’m using PHP and MySQL, by the way.)

Sorry for the rambling question. I’d just like to have a better idea of what lies ahead for my particular project. Thanks!

P.S. My primary website is www.geobop.org (soon to change to www.geobop.com), and you can see an example of one of its child sites at www.geosymbols.org/World/Arizona.

Missing admin option in new Gravity Forms 1.7 and above

Collin Condray — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 03:52:27 +0000

I’ve recently updated to the latest version of Gravity Forms (1.7.1). When I did, all of the Highrise options disappeared. However, when I downgraded back to 1.6.12, the Highrise options reappeared. Any ideas why it is doing this?

wordpress 2.2.1 –> 2.6.3

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 09:29:56 +0000

I am attempting to do an upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.6.3 via my hosting package (through CPanel and running automatic upgrade process).

The following error message is displayed:

Upgrading…

Initializing Parameters – Done.
Warning: system() has been disabled for security reasons in /tmp/cpanel_phpengine.1227518059.34446_2pyHIHir on line 1445

Upgrade failed

The database oncall_wrdp1 is not working properly and the creation of a database backup file has failed. Please contact the sysadmin for further assistance. Include this message for reference.

The initial installation has not been modified.

I emailed tech support at my hosting company and had the following reply

This is normally caused by a bad install of a script or a damaged database, you need to double check that
the authors of wordpress have not reported any problems with the upgrade on thier own support forum

Regards,

To date, there has been no errors or problems with the preconfigured installation and and I cannot find anything here on the support forum which would answer this problem.

Any advice people?

With thanks

Upgrade Documentation

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 07:53:43 +0000

I do not know if other users have encountered this or if I am the only one. However I find the instructions for upgrades to be generic and not always applicable to the upgrade itself.

For example when I upgraded from 2.2.3 to 2.3 I have a few issues with a database error relating to categories. It was not after spending time on the forums and reading a few when I thought that the issues may have been due an incompatible plug-in. I deactivated all of my plugins and the reactivated each one to see which one(s) were causing issues.

In the future it would be nice when upgrading to provide a such information as:

Release Log – stating what file(s) are being added or modified

Known Issues – Issues that are know at the time of the release and any work around that may resolve the issue. This may include plug-ins that are no longer compatible, listing of error messages that may be encountered in regard to the upgrade, how to solve the error messages, and issues with platforms, servers, and Operating systems.

Any testing – Including the results of the test.

Issue / Change log – I know there is a nightly build section and the forums. However it would be nice if there was an area for user to log an issue, see the status of the issue, and see what other users have encountered it instead of having to troll through the forums to find it. It could be as simple of putting it into an MS Excel workbook for download.

Hopefully 2.4 will be much smoother and more understandable on how to upgrade it.

All I am trying to ask for is more clarity in release documentation so that if a problem is encountered it is in one area, the user does not have to spend a lot of time trolling through the forums, and does not have to read all of the messages on their dashboard to locate the information to trouble shoot their problem.

2.2.1 upgrade broke my theme, can it be fixed?

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 02:30:57 +0000

I’ve been using the “Postcards from the Edge” theme from Alex King (you can see it here: https://alexking.org/projects/wordpress/theme_browser.php). I just upgraded my WordPress site to the latest version and now the theme no longer works. When I go to my admin section, presentation area to see the available themes, it now is only listed at the bottom under “broken themes” and says “template is missing”. I had not made any changes to any of the theme files when I did the upgrade, so I know everything is there, including the index.php file. I even tried re-uploading all the files from scratch but that didn’t fix the problem. Apparently this theme was only optimized for earlier versions… but I love it and really want to keep using it.

Does anyone know what changes if any I can make to this themes files in order to get it working with the newer version of WordPress? I tried asking the themes author for help but he can’t be bothered unless I pay a consultation fee. Uh sorry, that ain’t gonna happen (this was made available as a free theme). Any help on this would be much appreciated, I really want to save this lovely theme! Thanks.
