Upgrade Failed

  • Hello, my wordpress is down after being trying to upgrade to the latest version.

    Not that I expect really help getting it going (no admin, content broken in main blog) but I just needed to vent: my ISP is forcing me to upgrade because of WordPress security flaws and the 3 easy steps to upgrade is more like 30 steps. Sure, bet it’s easy if you are a Unix admin – please stop pushing the “Easy kool-aid”, it is making me furious.

    Thanks for messing up my site WordPress and for making me repeat the same steps over and over again without result. Extremely frustrating!!!!

    (I don’t feel any better after venting)

    My admin is just a directory page now of all the files.

    Only the title of a blog posting shows up and no content.

    crap.

    gotten a little further and now, although I think I have successfully upgraded, the admin login window will not go away after a successful login – and this is using the password provided by the forgot you password process.

    this crap is killing me! (sorry just venting….)

    I no longer get the admin screen after a successful login, it is just sits on the login page. If I enter a wrong password, it gives me an error.

    This is CRAP!!!!!!

    …my ISP is forcing me to upgrade because of WordPress security flaws.

    Good for your ISP. Im happy to hear that.

    Sure, bet it’s easy if you are a Unix admin

    No, actually, THATS crap.

    Millions of people that are not UNIX admins have successfully upgraded WordPress.

    I understand that WordPress works most of the time (although “millions of people who are non-Unix admins” is pure hyperbole.

    Also, thanks for your kind words of support, it is really helpful and appreciated!

    you said yourself you didnt expect help. you came here to rant. fine. rant away.

    and its NOT hyperbole — theres nothing figurative or exaggerated about my remark.

    TOTAL HYPERBOLE if you are proposing that millions of non-Unix admins have have shell sessions open or are using FTP clients, are messing around with MySQL database back-ups in database tools, archiving old file directories, swapping in some directories here and some files here and there to upgrade to the current WordPress version.

    The rant is just a record to warn other unsuspecting souls about the perils of the “3 easy steps” upgrade.
