WordPress Upgrade

easy-web-hostingI learned a thing or two when I upgraded my current WordPress to the latest version.

Firstly the most apparent was that that I was not able to view or compose post. When using Firefox, the box was there but the text was like there on minute and disappear the next. I checked with another browser,  Chrome,  and all was fine, so at least I didn’t panic.

Then as I was checking out the new options available, I got an error saying that my blog was not available. Now I started to panic. It said something about “wp-config” config error. My first instinct was to google for a solution but since this was urgent and I didn’t want any downtime, I contacted my web hosting company instead via their chat and I was lucky enough to get one very helpful chap. He checked my url and after looking at the files via ftp, he noticed that the permission level was altered. I was puzzled and still am till now how that happened but he offered to change the permission setting back to the correct one which is 755.

Anyway, I upgraded another one of my blogs today and the only problem I still see is the disappearing blog post on compose mode so I reckon I will wait before upgrading the rest of my blogs.

The moral of the story? Wait for the latest version of WordPress to stabilize before upgrading, the next is to get a great hosting company with a great chat service. Find some great hosting review and choose from the top hosting company only.

Cheerio…
