 * I recently updated my version of WordPress, and ever since then I have had a 
   weird error that keeps on popping up, and keeping me from changing a lot of things
   pertaining to my blog. Here’s my error message:
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘autoload’ in ‘field list’]
    INSERT
   INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, option_description, autoload) VALUES(‘
   rss_0ff4b43bd116a9d8720d689c80e7dfd4’, ”, ”, ‘no’)
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘autoload’ in ‘field list’]
    INSERT
   INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, option_description, autoload) VALUES(‘
   rss_0ff4b43bd116a9d8720d689c80e7dfd4_ts’, ”, ”, ‘no’)
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘autoload’ in ‘field list’]
    INSERT
   INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, option_description, autoload) VALUES(‘
   rss_0ff4b43bd116a9d8720d689c80e7dfd4’, ”, ”, ‘yes’)
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘autoload’ in ‘field list’]
    INSERT
   INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, option_description, autoload) VALUES(‘
   rss_0ff4b43bd116a9d8720d689c80e7dfd4_ts’, ”, ”, ‘yes’)

 * The column autoload exists on my wp 1.5 blog, but does not exist on a blog running
   wp 1.2. That suggests you skipped a step in the upgrade process.

 * Ohhhh ok,
 * I ran the upgrade.php file, and the error message disappeared. Thanks Thanks 
   Thanks! Still, though, changing my layout in Cpanel is not changing the way my
   actual blog looks. My blog appears on [http://www.sjrepresentin.toxicsugar.net/wp/wp.php](http://www.sjrepresentin.toxicsugar.net/wp/wp.php),
   but it has my old layout. On Cpanel it shows the html from my new layout (which
   includes blue text, etc…). Any idea what this could be? Thanks.

 * are you sure you’re editing the correct file? If you’re using 1.5, then you should
   be editing a file in a wp-content/themes folder, as 1.5 utilizes a theme system
   now.

 * Tried that…then brought up the file and got this message:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_header() in /home/sjrepres/public_html/
   wp/wp-content/themes/classic/index.php on line 2

 * I would really suggest editing your layout from within WP, using the Theme Editor.
   
   Your errors message looks like it’s trying to use the Classic theme and can’t
   find the header file.
