 * I recently had to manually update WordPress and now have new problems that I 
   need help with. (some history of that and this new problem here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-admin-page-every-every-link-leads-to-an-empty-page-including-update?replies=24](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/from-admin-page-every-every-link-leads-to-an-empty-page-including-update?replies=24))
 * “Database Update Required
 * WordPress has been updated! Before we send you on your way, we have to update
   your database to the newest version.
 * The database update process may take a little while, so please be patient.”
 * Followed by:
 * “WordPress database error: [Table ‘andgil8_nwb.nw_categories’ doesn’t exist]
   
   SELECT * FROM nw_categories ORDER BY cat_ID
 * WordPress database error: [Table ‘andgil8_nwb.nw_post2cat’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT
   post_id, category_id FROM nw_post2cat GROUP BY post_id, category_id
 * WordPress database error: [Table ‘andgil8_nwb.nw_linkcategories’ doesn’t exist]
   
   SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM nw_linkcategories
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘link_category’ in ‘field list’]
    SELECT
   link_id, link_category FROM nw_links Update Complete
 * Your WordPress database has been successfully updated!”
 * Now every page, portfolio piece etc has all been made into a blog post, I’ve 
   changed permalinks to every option and can’t seem to figure out where the problem
   is. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 * What it looks like:

 * I’m not that experienced in wordpress but I’ll try to help.
 * Maybe a modified htaccess file is to blame? Doing manual update may override 
   it or some other file that shouldn’t have been overrided was? Why didn’t you 
   do an update from the wordpress CP? You need to sudo chown all the files to apache:
   apache or w/e you have it set to.

 * If you follow the first link my original problem is that WP wouldn’t update and
   many links from the admin page lead to a blank page. I follow the person who 
   was helping directions perfectly, manually deleting and then adding the new file
   one at a time through File Zilla.
 * I’m just trying to see if I can change my database and have my website straighten
   out or if I’m going to have to manually redo my whole site through WP.
 * Thanks
