I'm pretty sure there are no whole table changes. There might be a couple field changes, but I doubt even that between a2 and a4. You should never <em>need</em> to drop a table; it will only take up space when it's not used, and that won't affect anything but how much space you have left on your server.

Like do I have tables I need to drop, or are they all being used? So wait… have there been any mysql database changes from 1.2 until the newest nightly release?

I will probably upgrade soon then, when I get a chance. :-D Laura - thanks! ;-)

I found you through Honest-Truth reviews. You're an amazing webmistress. Once the review site is up and running again, I hope you'll be able to review. Hope you get your WP issues taken care of, I just installed it. Haven't had any problems thus far, but like I said, I just installed it. :) Take care of yourself! I'll definately be back soon. :) Just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed my trip to your site. I found you through Honest-Truth reviews. You’re an amazing webmistress.

I run upgrades straight out of CVS with a server-side script, so my experience with what's in each nightly is limited to when I notice the version number change in my output. So if I wasn't the geek that I am, I would go with something someone has already running with no/few issues. 1.3 has so much good stuff in it, it's hard to abstain from recommending it. Your upgrade concerns are funny because I wrote the database upgrade routines in WP1.3. So, yeah, they're perfect. :) Apart from the DB stuff, the code all seems to work (usually something will break trackbacks or whatever, but that's obviously working on our blogs), so if you backup before you install, you should be fine.

Yes, Owen definitly knows more about this stuff than I do, so go for it - jump into a 1.3 alpha version. (Owen - do you mean the one that is available now at wordpress.org/nightly or an earlier version? I have several versions saved on my hard drive I can probably find the one she should try if it's not available elsewhere anymore). Apparently that categories.php wasn't the right solution then, lol. Definitly try another version - delete everything out of that folder and have your host drop the WordPress tables for you and try installing a newer version. If that doesn't work, we can get together online and I can see if I can install one for you... Owen - yeah I didn't think upgrading would solve anything and it is very rare for me to have that problem. Usually things go off with my WP pretty smoothly and if they don't, it's usually a plugin that I either decide not to use or can fix. I was just wondering because I know you'd mentioned Alpha 4 before. Now, on almost-there.net, I am running Alpha 4 - I forgot about that. No problems there, but that was a new installation. So I guess I was just wondering about upgrade issues.... ??? Okay, Chrissie - this is also in response to your email….
