In reply to: 3.9 Install failureWell I was able to get a work around… I installed the 3.8.3 version, then I downloaded the 3.9 zip file and unzipped it. Then I uploaded all the files and overwrote the files and low and behold, it took…
Still no idea what the issue really is, but like most WordPress issues, you stumble on a fix if you work on it long enough… I sort of wish WordPress was taken over by a company with actual an actual support system. It would be worth the $$ to get answers.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 3.9 Upgrade FailWe can close this.. As I suspected, when I tried to download the 3.9 files and upgrade that way, it caused errors and I lost the entire website. I had to go in and re-install 3.8 fully and then the 3.9 upgrade worked. I lost a couple days worth or work, but that seems typical with this program. I should have learned from past issues and just not upgraded.

In reply to: 3.9 Upgrade FailPermissions do not seem to be the issue, but I changed them to 777 just to try it and got the same issue…
Here is the complete fail notice I get
Unpacking the update…
Verifying the unpacked files…Warning: require(/home/SITENAME/public_html/wp-content/upgrade/version-current.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/SITENAME/public_html/wp-admin/includes/update-core.php on line 711
Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘/home/SITENAME/public_html/wp-content/upgrade/version-current.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/SITENAME/public_html/wp-admin/includes/update-core.php on line 711

In reply to: 3.9 Upgrade FailI see that my version is missing update-core.php which is the file it is calling for… I checked my 3.8 version and only see update.php, then I download the 3.9 version and I check it and it only has update.php
Is the upgrade calling for an incorrect file? or am I really missing something?

In reply to: Upgrade IssueFound the issue about connecting or upgrading, No idea what has changed but I found an answer from a user from 5 years ago… I had to not use my real host name, I had to put in localhost instead and then all is well with the world.

In reply to: Upgrade IssueWhat I have found is I created the upload directory (wp-content/uploads)
Set the new uploads directory permission to 777
Set the wp-content directory to permission 777
Set the public_html directory permission to 777
Upload a photo
Then reset all three back to 755Now it works
It seems that the public_html was at 755 but it had to be 777 and then change back, weird!

In reply to: Unable to create directoryI believe that the people that volunteer on this is really great, but when you have an error that thousands of people seem to have, there is an issue that needs to be addressed. I could be a millionaire if I knew code and just put my services on here for hire to address these issues. Charge a few bucks each and help people get this issue resolved. I finally got mine to work for media upload, but can not install plugins for this same issue. Now I installed a second WordPress on a new site and the exact same issue came up. It is great that we have this free program, but if you spend days trying to get a simple issue fixed, is it worth it?

In reply to: Unable to create directoryThat file is in your main director where WordPress is placed.
Please nite that thus did work once, and on a clean install I did a second time it did not work, I had to go in a create the directory manually as well.
So far, this is the only major drawback with using WordPress that I have found as this issue has not been addressed by developers even though there are several thousand post about it.
At this point I gave it working, but in trying to install some plugins, I get the can not create directory error and gave to delete the plug in.
Very maddening issue with not real fix as yet that I have found
I have this issue and with 3.8.1 and my screen is the screen that you show where you have no choice where to set the store with thousands of entries on this topic, you would think WP would have figured this out by now.

In reply to: Unable to create directoryI found a solution. Add either or both of these lines to your wp-config.php file (as I’m not sure which one fixed the problem, maybe it was both together).
define(‘UPLOADS’, ‘/yourblog/wp-content/uploads’);
define(‘WP_CONTENT_URL’, ‘http://yourblog.com/wp-content’);Obviously replace ‘yourblog’ with your blog name.
It will bypass the the directory it can’t write to and creates a new directory which it can write to.
Hope it works for you too.
