In reply to: Site locks up, then heals itself!2.5 has bugs and issues..my best advice to you would be to downgrade.
Your server is running a very outdated version of PHP. You may want to inquire if they’re going to upgrade, at some point. Or you can look for a new host.
Try 644.

In reply to: Downgrading from 2.5 to 2.3@ Otto: Ummm, downgrading IS possible, because I did it. Granted, it’s not the BEST way to go about it, but it IS possible. I posted the instructions to help those who either didn’t back up their database (like me) OR the database was corrupted by the 2.5 upgrade, which seems to be happening to many.
@ mayooresan: Why would you need to lose all incoming links. Don’t understand your comment, sorry.
@ tonyfloyd If you don’t have a database backup, you can use the method I posted above. Other than that, I don’t know what to tell you, sorry.

In reply to: Adding external link“Bad form”? I would think it’s more of a personal preference, than any hard and fast rule.
And the site visitor can decide whether to stay or go..the rest of it is up to the webmaster.
Just my 2 pennies..not trying to argue.

In reply to: My Host DEMANDING Removal of WP???BlueHost is awful. Stay. Away.
Try KnownHost. I have a reseller account with them, and their support is great.

In reply to: Navigating to page 2WP-Navi can be buggy in some themes. Leave it deactivated.
Try going into Settings and re-saving your permalink preference. You don’t have to change it..just re-save it. Sometimes this clears up navigation problems.

In reply to: Downgrade from 2.5 to 2.3.3The upload_max_filesize needs to be a LARGER value than 2MB, and php.ini needs to be copied to the wp-admin directory, otherwise, the import of the XML file will fail, if it’s bigger than 2MB.
If you have a backup of your database from version 2.3.3, it’s better to use that. I had to use the XML method because I didn’t backup (yeah, stupid, I know) and version 2.5 messed up the database.
The XML method does work. Email me if you need assistance.

In reply to: Downgrading from 2.5 to 2.3Hey Cheaper, I wrote this solution on another thread, thought it might help.
Actually, you don’t need the old database at all. This is how I did it..
Export your data out as an XML file (use the “all” authors setting if there’s more than one)
Delete (or move to another directory) the version 2.5 files
Create a new database
Upload the version 2.3.3 files, and install as “new”
Log in and delete the placeholder post (“hello world”). Also make sure that you re-create all the author names, if there is more than one.
Import in the XML file. (NOTE: If you have a lot of data, you may need to adjust the “upload_max_filesize” setting in php.ini..if you don’t have access to this file, contact your host..my host was very cooperative)
That should do it. In my case, my theme was slightly out of whack, but nothing big.
Good luck, and long live 2.3.3!

In reply to: Permanent Links show Same Post TwiceI had a similar issue..my posts were archiving normally, but were being shown twice in the post count, on the Archives widget.
I ended up downgrading, and I’m much happier.

In reply to: Add Media (upload_max_filesize)Copy php.ini to the directory where you need the value changed, otherwise it only works in root.
In your case, you need to copy it to wp-content. Should fix the problem.

In reply to: Downgrade from 2.5 to 2.3.3BTW, the reason I downgraded is because version 2.5 caused a couple of strange database errors, and it was overall just too slow and buggy.
*bumping* this up in case anyone else is interested
