Problem updating to version 2.9.2

Can you still see your content via FTP?

Try deleting .htaccess and regenerating permalinks from the General Settings area in your dashboard.

yes I can still see all the content.
Could tell where I find that .htaccess file?

What version of WordPress were you previously running? Did you back up your database and deactivate all plugins before running the upgrade?

version 2.8.
Yes i did backup the database but did not deactivate the plugins

Ok I guess I am little calmer now So I’ll try to explain my predicament.
After backing up my database. I manually uploaded the 2.9.2 update files by ftp. Being careful not to overwrite my content folder. I must have done something wrong because all my previous blog content is not displaying. I have very little knowledge of the coding issues so your assistance is great appreciated.

Were you prompted to run the database upgrade? Have you checked your wp-config.php file? Is it pointing to the correct database?

Yes. The database info in the wp-config does seem to be correct.

Were you prompted to run the database upgrade?

Yes I was prompted run and clicked to do so.

Have you checked your database? Do you have access to error logs? They might throw some light on where the problem is.

Thanks to batrachoid. I had this problem on one of three WP installations that I upgraded today. On that one, WP is in public_html; on the others, it’s lower. Deleting .htaccess and recreating permalinks fixed it (the permalink settings aren’t in General, they’re in Settings->Permalinks).
