Unfortunately, most of this is over my head. (Everything from Step 4 onwards).
I was under the impression that by using WP I could edit everything at the front end, and not have to concern myself with back-end technical language and issues … seems I am in over my head.
Guess I’ll have to do some research on steps 4 & etc.`Step 1: Replace WordPress files
1 Get the latest WordPress zip (or tar.gz) file.
2 Unpack the zip file that you downloaded.
3 Deactivate plugins.
4 Delete the old wp-includes and wp-admin directories on your web host (through your FTP or shell access).
5 Using FTP or your shell access, upload the new wp-includes and wp-admin directories to your web host, in place of the previously deleted directories.
6 Upload the individual files from the new wp-content folder to your existing wp-content folder, overwriting existing files. Do NOT delete your existing wp-content folder. Do NOT delete any files or folders in your existing wp-content directory (except for the one being overwritten by new files).
7 Upload all new loose files from the root directory of the new version to your existing WordPress root directory.NOTE – you should replace all the old WordPress files with the new ones in the wp-includes and wp-admin directories and sub-directories, and in the root directory (such as index.php, wp-login.php and so on).
