Help me with Wordpress - Upgraded and got problems!

Hi, I upgraded my wordpress to the newest version and when I visited my site, I got 500 internal server error.

My PHP and mySQL are compatible with the newest version of WP.

I have backups (mySQL database & home directory)... should I just upload the backups?

 

Take a read through the WordPress Upgrade Guide first, you may have missed something during the process.

 

I would get the blog script working first. Delete all the files and upload a fresh script. Others may have different suggestion?

 

But what about my blog posts? If I delete all the files, can I still restore my posts through my SQL backup?

 

All your posts are stored within the SQL database, not the files within the word press folder.

 

What about the themes? Should I download the wp-content folder?

 

you can do that if you have it modify. But uploading a fresh theme would be alot easyer.

 

Yes the wp-content folder will also be part of the WP installation files.

 

Don't delete the wp-content folder, delete rest except wp-config.php and see if it works.

 

If I use Fantastico to upgrade, should I still delete the files that you mentioned?

 

there is a file in wp that automaticly updates your files

 

Okay, it's already installed, it says that it's version 2.2.1, but how come I don't have any visual/code editor?

 

You will have to go to User and then go to Your Profile and put a check mark on "Use the visual editor when writing" and than update profile.

 

Okay, thanks a lot guys.
