Strange things are afoot
January 14th, 2008There are some odd things going on with my WordPress installation. The two main issues I’ve noticed are
- I am unable to upgrade to the latest release, even when I manually overwrite every file via FTP and
- My theme seems to randomly reset itself to the default
I’m a little spooked. Are there such things as web-poltergeists?
Update (01/19/08): Turns out I was making a rather silly mistake. I was copying all of the new WordPress files into my root directory instead of the appropriate /blog directory. Oops! That might explain a few things. We’ll see if the crazy behavior now subsides.

Which version are you upgrading from? I’ve got 2.3 on there (I assume 2.3.0?) and haven’t tried going to 2.3.2 yet… Perhaps I’ll give that a try shortly… I’ve never had an issue with it, though…surprisingly…

My version is (allegedly) 2.3. I’m pretty sure it’s just this one copy, since I’ve upgraded versions on other sites without a hitch.
