WordPress disaster
At the request of FutureQuest, I updated WordPress. It appears the new WordPress is utterly incompatible with the old WordPress. I am restoring posts by hand from backups.
Users will have to reregister.
Update: All the posts have been restored. That leaves the comments. It’s a good thing this isn’t a very active site.
Update: And now all the comments are back too. I’ve restored users, but of course without the correct passwords. I have emailed all users to inform them of the change.
Update: This is strange. I entered all my link categories and links, but they don’t show up. They are clearly present in the database, but they are invisible.
Update: Now I have all the links back. The trouble was that I kept my old Theme — well, I like my theme. I have the font sizes just the way I want them, and I don’t want that to change. I ended up having to track down “bookmark-template.php” and change that. I wonder how non-programmers deal with this kind of problem.
P.S. I have an amazing ability to break software. Operating systems, word processors, compilers, any software. So I guess it’s no surprise that I managed to completely break WordPress.
