    Thank you.
    After much experimentation, I fixed it.
    I had to change the dropbox URL to a different format.

    Thank you.

    I was about to just click the Updater on the Dashboard and then I thought I’d educate myself first. So I landed on that exact link you just shared James and yes, the amount of detail scared me off!

    Years ago when I began blogging, I did everything myself, though my skill set is coaching, not techie. It would take me hours and hours to do what someone like you could do in an hour. I’d be on the phone with my hosting tech support in the middle of the night and sometimes barely sleep because I messed something up, but couldn’t figure out how to fix it. FTP and folders and other…..

    I’m sure I could do it and figure it out. But my blog is a necessity to me every day. The theme has some custom coding etc, and I have no idea what would happen to it all when I clicked on the little button. Thus, I’ll happily pay to have the person who does all my custom set up and theme work, do it for me. Then I don’t have to worry, or stress.

    I really do appreciate you replying again.

    Best,
    Deborah

    Thank you James.. I don’t usually do my own techie stuff. So I looked into the upgrade to 4.0 and got nervous and passed the entire thing on to my web person. It turns out my present WP version is 3.7.4 on the http://deborahtutnauer.com blog and 3.5.1 (uh-oh really old) on my other WP blog (http://join-body-by-vi.com). I”m sure it makes sense to upgrade both versions and plugins as you suggestion, and then do the PHP 5.5 upgrade.

    FYI.. My hosting company will let me keep PHP 5.2,but will charge me monthly for doing so. I know if I wanted to spend hours or days with this, I could follow the instructions for upgrading. But as I said, it makes me nervous and takes me 10 times longer than someone who really knows what they are doing.

    I appreciate your suggestion and taking the time to answer.
