 * Trying to upgrade to 2.5 – I got a load of errors and now I can’t get anything
   to work.
 * I have:
 * Fatal error: Unknown function: require_wp_db() in /home/spiring/public_html/blog/
   wp-settings.php on line 204
 * I don’t know what to do.

 * I used the installation plug in. It did a back up, downloaded the software and
   commenced installation.
 * I got a lot of errors and now what I posted above is what I get on my blog page.

 * I don’t know of any “installation plugin”. Do you mean some kind of automatic
   upgrade plugin…?
 * Try instead a normal manual upgrade.

 * Yeah it was a plug in – been using it for ages with no problems before – it looks
   like the issue is more about 2.5 than my plug in.
 * I believe I have already upgraded hence no blog – can I go backwards?
 * What does the error on my first post mean?

 * The error means that not all WP 2.5 files were uploaded… or some of them are 
   corrupted.
    That’s why I said do a regular manual upgrade. Your plugin might 
   not be compatible with 2.5.

 * Ok thanks Moshu. I’m going away for a few days tomorrow so I’ll have a go when
   I get back.
 * Thanks again – I’ll post back how I got on.
