Help Upgrade Problems

    Sorry if this has been covered before but I searched to avail.

    Long story short: My site was upon WP 3.05, which is a WP backend, with HTML and some embedded flash elements was working fine (as delivered by our site designers). Then someone clicked the upgrade WP notification to go to 3.1, and the site still had all the content but our entire custom layout had reverted to twenty ten standard (trees and all). I got the web designer to reinstall his backup version, site looking pretty again……but now when I try to log in the admin to make some changes I get:

    Database Upgrade Required

    WordPress has been updated! Before we send you on your way, we have to upgrade your database to the newest version.

    The upgrade process may take a little while, so please be patient.

    So I don’t want to upgrade the database as that’s what lost me my layout in the first place. My web designer in not contactable and I have no idea how to fiy this. his parting words were “I’ll have to upload a bunch of things to the database…”.

    Can anyone tell me what I need to do get my WP working again? I’m assuming it’s upload all the CSS to the relevant places but don’t know where to begin….

    Thanks!

    Thanks Steve! the problem is I can’t get in to the dashboard as when I ry to login, I arrive on a landing page which demands I do the upgrade.

    I don’t mind seeing the theme temporarily revert to the standard 2010, if as soon as it’s done, I can just choose the new template under appearances in dashboard?

    That is how its supposed to work, yes. And it sounds like you have all the backups you need in case it doesn’t work as intended.
