I have worked it out.

My WordPress installation was done by Install4free, and I hadn’t realised that the database had been given a prefix. I edited the wp-config.php file so that under the text that reads “// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix” the prefix was properly included.

Phew! That got the adrenalin going for a while there…

I think it was 2.3.2.

Thanks Microjoes.

Re the wp-content folder, I was following the advice to “upload only those WordPress files that are new or changed to your new wp-content folder. Overwrite any old versions of default plugins with the new ones.”

The only one that looked to me like it had changed was the index.php which I did overwrite.

So not sure if that is the explanation…??
