    Hi everyone! Thanks for reading this.

    – I have been trying to upgrade one of our sites from 2.x to 3.4, and finally gained Administrator access yesterday. (Our IT guy moved interstate in 2011 with the admin password).

    – During the upgrade to 3.4 we ran into difficulty. Because of the age of the old wordpress and plugins (2.4.8 I think), there was no ability to create a backup, despite many attempts.

    – I followed http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended as best I could.

    – We have the added trouble of using Parallels Plesk 9.x as our FTP thing.

    – I have been getting assistance from our web host, but I think I’ve used up all their good will. They sent the following email earlier today:

    In order to resolve your issue, I have gone through the error log and
    found below relevant information.

    [Mon Jun 18 14:57:53 2012] [error] [client 192.84.19.22] PHP Warning:

    It appears that there is classes.php file missing. Have you taken backup
    before upgrading wordpress? If yes, then upload it in httpdocs/test
    folder through ftp.

    Once we have restored the backup, we can upgrade it from wordpress admin
    panel.

    Awaiting for your reply.

    As mentioned, we do not have a back up, so we have no ability to upload it.

    Is there another way of resolving our troublesome wordpress issue?

    All the best,
    Breece

    Try re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.

    Thanks Esmi, my only little trouble is I have to use Plesk instead of the simple CPanel because of the host we’re with. This version of Plesk (9.x) doesn’t allow extraction of zip files.
    How silly!

    It’s a real mess in my FTP now.

    I believe my hosting service has tried to fix it, but now we have several additional folders (httpsdocs, httpdocs_back, httpdocs_bak)) in the FTP.

    Are there any companies that offer services to fix this problem by accessing my FTP details?
