Can't access Admin; Can't get rid of 'deprecated' messages

I dowloaded an older version of wordpress because I knew how to install it.

WordPress is very easy to install. Many hosting companies have “one-click” installs for it. Is the only reason you want to install it is because you’ve installed it before?

I highly recommend installing the newest version of WordPress. Keep in mind that over time, WordPress is update with security patches / etc, so the newer versions are going to be much more secure than an older version.

Thanks for your quick response. Yes, the only reason I installed it was that I used it for my personal blog. I am loading this one for a friend on my pc. Should I go into the mysql and delete the database and then download the latest version as though this is a new load? Or do I just need to clear the wp files?

It depends on how old the install is. Personally I would wipe the database, remove all of the wp files, and start with a fresh install.

The install was yesterday. I will take your suggestion and start with a fresh install. Thanks again for your help. I will let you know how it goes.

I just installed the latest wordpress and I stall have deprecated messages. I put the code:

<?php
‘error_reporting(0);’
/**
on wp-config and that took away a few errors but I still have 7 msgs and a warning. I still cannot see the admin page or the webpage.

ce_bradm do you have any more ideas on what to do? I am totally at a loss here. Thanks.

also I checked the config for the ?> as u suggested and followed the directions

You are still using WordPress 2.6.3. Trash that install and install WordPress 3.2.1

I downloaded 3.2.1…please tell me how to get rid of the old one…I thought I put it in the recycle bin. I deleted the database and wp files in cpanel. I am not sure how to totally get rid of the old wp. Thanks.

You need to remove all wordpress files from your remote server and empty the database of all tables. Then upload WordPress 3.2.1 and run /wp-admin/install.php.

Ok, I know how to remove the tables but am unsure of where the remote server is found. Thanks.

It’s the hosting account where your WordPress site is currently running.

Yes, I removed the tables but when I went to the remote database access hosts there is nothing there.

Please try asking your hosts for assistance with this.
