I upgraded to WordPress 2.3 a few hours ago and the damn upgrade screwed up my entire blog (database related errors). I really didn’t feel like trying to figure out what went wrong so I decided to restore my blog back to version 2.2 according to Fantanstico’s instructions, but a fatal mishap occurred. My blog wasn’t backed-up and when I decided to change my cpanel skin I couldn’t access my deleted files. For the last 2 hours I did not have a website!

I called, IM’d and emailed hostgator to get help, but the phone call and chat was pointless because they both told me to email hostgator support also stating that I would have to pay $10 for my site to be restored and I have to wait 1 1/2 hours just to get a response from them.

I was so pissed so I kept checking my backups and mysteriously 2 recent backups just suddenly appeared. I ended up restoring my site myself. I had to replace all the files and empty and replace my database again. It is now 12:30am and I think I finally got my site back together without hostgators help.

I just have to look it over a bit to make sure everything is running properly. I don’t think I’ll be upgrading my blog anytime soon because this is too much to be going through.
