I’ve been having problems with my blog for ages – the appearance keeps resetting to the default blue background, and I have to keep on manually changing it back. I hoped that upgrading WordPress to the latest version would help, but that meant waiting for my web host to upgrade the underlying database engine. It’s now done so, so last night I attempted to upgrade WordPress.
Near disaster! It failed to update, got half way through the process then hung my computer, and I was very worried I’d lost the blog entirely. I do have backups, but don’t know how to set up a new blog from them. I’m now in a sort of half way house, where my console is half upgraded, looks completely different, and nothing is where I expect it. The public face seems to be ok though.
Its clearly very unhappy – writing this post on the new web interface crashed my iPad. And since this is Christopher’s blog in the first place, I don’t have full owner rights over it, so am limited to how much I can delve into the workings. Aaarrrgggghhhhh. I wish I hadn’t touched it!
It may take me a little while to work out whether it’s fixable from its current limbo state…….
