I attempted to upgrade from WordPress 1.5.2 to 2.0.7 this morning. Things didn’t work as planned unfortunately. This was my second time upgrading WordPress. Thankfully e was online and able to help out.
It turns out that the superlative Akismet comment spam blocker tripped me up. Not the plugin itself but the fact that I should have deleted the old version that I used with 1.5.2 because 2.0.7 comes with a newer version. The trouble, *I Think*, was that the old Akismet plugin was running with and tripping up the 2.0.7 version of WordPress.
Thanks again for the help sorting this out Eric!
