I torched this blog earlier today. After upgrading to Wordpress 2.5, it all went kerflooey. I went fishing for a way to find my sql database password, but nothing I tried - control panel, sql web searches, raw file code, calls to hotshot database programmers - helped. In the end, what worked was this: I created a new user, attached that new user to my sql database, used the new user info in the wp-config file, and the blog came roaring back to life. Then I had another problem: I couldn’t get into my admin panel. Went to Wordpress.org, into the forum, searched using my error message as the search parameter, and found someone who said to eliminate ALL WHITE SPACES from the wp-config file. It worked, perfectly. I like trying upgrades and am not too bothered when I encounter a problem, because that problem is an opportunity to learn something new about the interweb.

glad 2 see you found a way to keep your blog content AND to upgrade.. i’m still contemplating my WordPress upgrade from 2.2.3, but don’t want to lose all my customization.. might just have to start from scratch and import, maybe during summer break

I had some issues too with plug-ins that either aren’t upgrading or haven’t, so i am keeping UYWI’s blogs at an older version until then.
