The WordPress Blogs do come up with a bunch of errors and unexplained actions. These are the same errors that I have read about in the forums at WordPress. I have also called Yahoo in the past about downtime and issues unrelated to WordPress. Right now for what I need the price is right. I really just want the web site for our family to learn some important computer skills. It looks to me like troubleshooting will be a skills that will have to be covered extensively. Things were going along ok.
A few weeks ago decided to upgrade WordPress 2.0.2 to WordPress 2.1 software. Since one of the benefits of using the Yahoo Business Web Hosting was that I could have 100 accounts and subdomains I decided the safest way to go was to build a test account and try to do the upgrade on something that wouldn’t matter before I tried doing it on one of the blogs my wife and kid are working on. It did not go well.
I was not able to get past that white page that came up when I ran the upgrade.php. Just like I saw had happened to several others in the WordPress Forums. I created, deleted and recreated accounts with the pre-installed WordPress 2.0.2 and tried many times to get a successful upgrade. I went through all the detailed instructions several times over. Nothing worked. I went through lots of forum entries none of them had a clear answer. I was really glad that I used a test account and not a production account, although I had already made a backup of one of my blogs in preparation of upgrading to WP 2.1 once I saw the upgrade run successful on the test account. I went in thinking the upgrade was a nobrainer.
In the forums I saw that there was a WordPress group offering to do free upgrades on your own web site via FTP, at one time. I thought this was a great service that WordPress was offering.
I didn’t want to throw in the towel and just send account info and setup an FTP account
and have someone else do it for me. What would I do if I wanted to make a minor upgrade? I would not know the work arounds and fixes needed to do the upgrades on Yahoo Web hosting. I thought I would turn away a bit and see if solutions were posted as others ran into the same problem. I figured I would pick up the solution from the wordpress user forums in a few weeks. I have seen notice after notice of minor upgrades to WP 2.1 but I have not been able to find a solution on the Internet that will help me upgrade WordPress 2.1 on my Yahoo web hosting accounts.
I have not seen what I consider confirmation that WordPress 2.1 will even run on Yahoo Web hosting. I keep seeing Posts saying get off Yahoo and come on my Service or my buddies service. Hey, I am aware there are issues with Yahoo. Right now the price is right. Latter when I know exactly where I am going to take our site and our family blogs, I can move on to another service if needed.
Is it possible to upgrade the pre-installed WordPress 2.0.2 on Yahoo Business to the current version of 2.1x Ella? An authoritative NO, is a good answer. WordPress 2.0 is a good product and I can stick with that until Yahoo automatically upgrades to the current WordPress production software automatically for me. This does however mean I have a long wait.
Thanks in Advance, Paul, Sweden

I only get the old old text buttons… See screen shot:
https://www.budware.com/screencap.jpg
]]>search in that page for: (ctl-f with most notepads/editors)
$mce_buttons = apply_filters(
When you find that line go to where the word ‘bold’ is, and add your feature (‘hr’) etc etc there just like the rest of the words are. Also, use ‘separator’ to make one of those fancy vertical bars in the editor tool bar.
if you want to see all the possible buttons that you can have (without adding plugins) go here:
TinyMCE Wiki
help!
Ever since that release, I’ve noticed that many of my posts appear duplicated in the list of recent posts on the front page – though they do not show up as duplicates in the Admin screens, nor in my blogging editor (MarsEdit).
Does anyone know what could be wrong?
]]>Any advice appreciated
