3.2 Update, Can't Even Post

by That Guy

When I try to add a new post by copying and pasting from word, the format is wrong and the paragraphs are all on one line and extend through the page. The only fix is to rewrite all of my articles directly on Wordpress but this is too time consuming, so is there a safe way for me to revert back to Wordpress 3.14 since this is a much better version.

EDIT: Came back hoe from work and everything was fixed! And the interface looks better too.

    Have you tried putting the Word document in notepad?

    I have to do this if I create any new pages in Joomla, Wordpress messes it up but Notepad strips out any code, or whatever it is that screws it up.

    As for the old version being better, I doubt that can be said having just attempted to put a post up.

      The sidebar for the admin dashboard is also gone. I saw another thread here and it might be because of some of the plugins I'm using but that's just too many disadvantages for me. Also I tried the notepad methods too, and it doesn't work sadly.

        Ok.

        I had an email I looked at before I upgraded all my sites. One of the recommendations was to download a plug in called "Health Checker", this checks that your PHP and MySQL is all compatible with the new version. The email was pretty insistent I do this.

        I followed the instructions and backed up each site before hand. All my sites are fine and they all have the side panel admin area.

        It's also good advice to revert back to the default theme before you upgrade.

        The best person to speak to that I know on WP are Sbucciarel and Istvan Horsvath, though I'd like to hope they're still recovering from their 4th July celebrations (or Canada Day in Istvans case, though that may be a bit of a long to recovery)

          Hey Richard

          I read your sig and thought "must be a Brit". Please to meet you!

          Has our humour become so predictable now?
