@ Mike … On my front page of the website, I lost all my photos that were on a revolving slideshow. It was replaced with a large orange box with the error message in it. Hence I had NO photos from the 6 odd photos that useually rotate non stop.
I couldn’t access any of my pages ie, NO drop down menues when I ran my mouse over the tool bar at the top, … I freaked out because I had just run a paid promotion on Groupon and hundreds of people were trying to access my website while all this was happening to it.
Once I re-installed the old verion back onto it, it worked fine, hence I’m now not going to touch it as the Groupon ad is still running till Sat. It was out for probably half an hour or so.
You need to make sure (or whoever it is that makes the updates), that they work first on a few other computers before putting them up for us “novices” to install, like a beta version or something. Had what I tried not worked, I would have been one upset guy by now. But thankfully, all went well for me in the end.
It also doesn’t help to read that other people, everytime they do an update on this program, they have problems … WTF?.
I’m new to WP as I’m a photographer not a web designer (could be my problem right there hey?), but I get by ok cause I’ve been working on computers for well over 12 years now and can work out most problems ok. But it should be simpler for guys (novices) like me to install updates, thats all I’m saying, instead you find out that your whole wesite crashes around you when you do an update.
Sorry for the rant, but it could have been serious for me, had it not worked in the end, but its all good now! LOL ??
