Turns out that the default settings were set in my wp-options db, thus:

It looks like your database has default settings for your wordpress
installations mailserver settings. In order to send properly, you will want to change the following values in your “wp-options” table in the database:

mailserver_url mail.example.com
mailserver_login [email protected]
mailserver_pass password

Once these are filled in with the proper values, you should be able to send properly. As always, if you have any other questions, please let us know and we’ll reply as soon as possible!

Only, changing those values didn’t work.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Yeah, I’ve noticed that – in fact it isn’t possible to activate the sidebar widget plug-in. But I was using the AdRotator widget/plugin to carry my BlogAds content in four separate “widgets” numbered 1-4. Now, no matter what html content is in the different widgets it shows the content from the #1 widget.

Well thanks for that last bit – I’ll give it a go.

Update: And it worked. Problem half-way solved.

And use what instead? html?

wysiwg, i think. straight from the dashboard.

Thanks for your patience, all: Turns out I’d loaded the 2.0.2 files to the top level of the webhost, and not to the public_html directory that the blog itself is accessed from. Thus, when deleting and replacing the old files, I was in the “wrong hole.”

All better now.

Ran it again, same results. Deleted everything but WP-Content and config.php

That’s frustrating. The only files in there that I can see which are *not* updated from the 2.0.3 bundle as of 6/12 (or so) are the

wp-images folder
wp-config.php
smilies folder
php.ini
error_log
cgi-bin folder
500.shtml
500.php
404.shtml
403.shtml
401.shtml
400.shtml

and a number of clearly non-WP files.

Rats. With a ball peen hammer.

Well, I thank you for your persistence in helping. But the source file came straight out of ofthe 2.0.3.zip bundle. Guess I’ll just keep plugging away at it. Hmm.

Thanks for the assist. As far as I could tell, they were identical. Just for kicks, I trashed the old version.php on the remote, and FTP’d a new copy. Ran the upgrade.php file again, still no joy.

Gosh.

Can’t think what I’m doing wrong – this is my third run through, and I’m still showing 2.0.1

Anybody else have a clue?

Well, thanks. Back to the drawing board ??

Well, I guess I wanked too soon. All better now. Not sure if this is the same problem to which you were referring, but I set the default theme, turned all the plugins off (again) deleted everything from the server except the wp-config, content and images folder and reinstalled one more time.

After that reset my theme and went through the plugins one at a time. Had to goof with runPHP and ELA through a few sequences to get it right.

Good luck.
