Amazing, I got all the answers I needed in just 8 min.

Monkeyboy, much appreciated indeed.

What is jetpack? I tried to search and got over 10,000 results. May be I need it. Just I don’t know what it is?

Any links to for a layman?

Much appreciated in advance.

MacManX,

Thanks a lot for the explanation and for the link to codex.

Actually, I’d love to get by with no plugins at all – less upgrade nightmares. ??

Regards.

poil11,

Thanks a lot for the link. It does look very much like, well, …gallery. ??

Not sure if it helps you. I just tried to install nextgen and I am repeatedly getting a message: “The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.”

I have everything up to date – wp and nextgen.

Chris_K,

Thank you for the help.

Just found “WordPress Automatic Upgrade” plug in which promises to take care about all the backups as well. Does it work as promises or it’s just yet another case of “too good to be true”?

Thanks,

gm

mercime, Chris_K

Thanks a lot for the help.

mercime,

Wow, It was reeealy cool!

Is there an easy way to “back up SQL and server files and folders before upgrade”? Please, excuse me for asking again, but I really liked your first answer? ??

Thanks,

gm

gm10gm10,
Would it be possible to post your Linux kernel, PHP, and MySQL versions, as well as the php settings, from your new hosting account?

Sorry for late reply.
Appache 2.2.10
MySQL 5.0.51a
PHP 5.2.6 Not sure where to look for settings.

Good luck

gm

>Well, it’s nice to not be alone…

I got 2.7 running flawlessly with another host and switched my account there.

I can’t blame the first host for the lack of attention, but the issue seems to needs higher level of support and a dedicated person. Instead I was getting a prompt reply day or night, but from different people. Some of them didn’t even read my original ticket.

One observation. The host where I could not get 2.7 working properly was ahead in upgrading its software. Linux kernel, PHP, MySQL all of them had slightly higher the version number. Just an observation since I don’t know anything about all that software except it’s involved in wp running.

I got an email from tech support found that they fixed 404 problem. It did not fix WP though. I guess I have to wait until WP fixes its bug. No hurry for me since I was only attempting my first blog for a toy project.

Michael,

I just opened a ticket. I did not mark it “urgent” so it may take a few hours. As soon as I get anything, I will post it in this thread.
