    I am trying to upgrade my wordpress blog from 1.2 to 1.5 then eventually to 2.3 after this

    but everytime I try, at step one I get this error:

    Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /home/username/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php on line 292
    Code (markup):
    if anyone can help me with this issue, i'd appreciate it - again its from 1.2 to 1.5

    I have to upgrade to 1.5 first before 2.3 +rep will be given to any sort of help received

    thanks

    Dutchman is sending you in the right direction. The auto-upgrade plugin is the way to go for sure, although I've never upgraded from versions that old.

    Just out of curiosity, what is on line 292?

    its an end bracket - i tried modifiying it to take out that whole code but whatever is on 292 it keeps saying that error

    @dutchman - thanks but i can't even log in to my wp admin account because every time i try it says "database is old, upgrade now"

    last friday if i remember correctly

    i have another blog which is 1.2 as well and it gives me no errors so thats why im so confused

    i may actually copy/paste all those posts over to a 2.3 after setting up categories and whatnot and make sure they are on the right url - this may take a few days but if i do it slowly my blog won't see too much more of an inactivity

    that is the last resort but i may have no other choice
