I tried to upgrade my version of WP and failed. So I had to re-up from a backup since none of the fixes in that thread worked for me. So if stuff is broken around here it’s because I need to mess with permissions. Again.
I had a big fail, too, when I updated, but luckily when I posted my exact issues on the help board, they answered them within hours and got me up and running pretty quick. Which was good, because I stupidly did not bother to back up my files first or realize that there was an automated updater. Because I am New To The Internet.
I had the same problem referenced in the link above and for whatever reason, none of the fixes worked. So I downgraded for now. I used up all my energy on that project. :) I’m going to look into the auto-updater.

I have a lot of reasons I stopped journaling on my own domain, but one of them is that it was Too Much Like Work.
Yeah, both my parents and 3 of my 4 siblings and their mates are on it, plus a big chunk of my childhood friends. This was the first time I tried to mix the Sara Astruc thing with the Real Name thing. I figured after all these years it would be fine, pretty much all my old friends know about this page. The results were DISASTROUS. Edited to add: Every time I type the word “yeah” I hear David in my head saying “Don’t say yeah.”

Good luck!

I’m pretty close to being Done With This. My heart isn’t in it anymore.
I think it’s important to take your own pulse on these things every now and again. Now that my own mom is on Facebook, I get it. Oh do I ever, babe.
Yikes! I have been putting off upgrading WordPress for fear that something bad might happen.

Scott– try installing the auto-updater plug in. I hear that works well. I need to try that next. If I don’t bail.
