Another WordPress Upgrade Appears, Another Headache Starts…

Given some recent events and the lack of recent updates to things, I decided to upgrade my site.

I’m kinda stupid.

I think this was covered in previous posts, but just in case: I clicked on the “Upgrade now: Recommended” button, and it started downloading stuff… Until it stopped.

I stared at it, and it laughed at me. (I’m not imagining this, I know this website… Sixteen years, and I know when it’s laughing at me, versus just laughing…)

So, I stop the upgrade, and every page loads to blank.

…

Not good.

…

I try various direct URLs, and it just laughs at me, until I try the admin login page.

(Yes, I’m kinda dumb. Yes, my job entails being a technological genius, and I accomplish that once-and-a-while, while being paid. My excuse: I’m not being paid to be a technological genius right now, so shut up.)

I replaced file after file until I could log into the admin page, then I updated plugins and replaced more files until I got to this post page.

So, I’m working things out. I will continue working things out, until things are good again.

I love all you readers who pay attention. The rest can go read something else entirely, and leave me alone.

The rest, I will feed you faerie cakes until you’re full.  Just stay tuned.

Skåll!
