No, I hadn’t done that (total newbie here) – but I have now.. and things seem to be working again.

Thank you so very much. I was going nuts trying to work out what was different and what I had done to it.

Hey, if you click the first link I gave there, even though that is what dashboard says is the permalink, it still fails ??

OMG, I didnt realise wordpress was so very hard to use.

Oooh, i renamed the theme back to what it was.. and now i see my blog again!

Thank you so much, esmi *hugs you like mad*

I backed up the whole thing before poking. I don’t seem to have had an .htaccess file. And I copied my old wp-config.php file over so using that.

Yay, everything seems to be back to normal in my dashboard now. I see my posts etc. And no error messages.

But my blog is not online. When I go to the address there is nothing at all.

Thank you, esmi, I am doing that now… (nervously)

Is there any way to clear it, reinstall and then drop my blog posts back in?

I feel hopelessly out of my depth and just want to be able to use my blog. Nothing technical, just basic posts ??

I still do not have a working copy of WordPress ?? It was partly working, but I couldn’t add tags or images without it complaining about missing files. So…

I installed Filezilla. I took a fresh downloaded copy of WordPress 3.4.

I copied the folders wp-admin and wp-includes into my host directory, on top of the old ones that were already there. I also copied the loose files that are in the wordpress main directory – in other words I copied everything except the wp-content folder, as suggested above.

Now when I try to go into wordpress it tells me it needs to update the database. I click the Update Database button and get an error:

Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Theme’ not found in D:\Hosting\9251946\html\tinteddy\wordpressdir\wp-includes\theme.php on line 106

I tried renaming my theme as yoko-old. But this still happens.

I have also renamed the plugins folder plugins.hold, as suggested.

I still get the request to update database, then that error message.

I have done that, as said above.

I think I have now solved it – I found the tmp file from the upgrade and used that to copy the files over. So now back where it was before upgrade – working!

Thank you for your help anyway.
