Hi Naija, glad that you can fix your WP Upgrade issue.
Until now, one of my blog can not upgrade to 2.6.2
I tried to do your way, but still can not fixed my issue.
My issue after upgrade is all my categories is missing from my post. And it looks well in the categories section. Got description name, etc. Everything looks ok. But don’t know it disappeared from my post.

Still google to find if anybody have the same error.

You no longer have to do this process manually.It is hectic.In my case, I use the automatic wordpress upgrader plugin.It takes less than 3 minutes to do the whole process. Clements last blog post..Journal paper review:Why does the process take so long?

@Chief
I really wish I could help, but I have no experience with Go Daddy. I suggest you call their customer support and narrate your experience. I strongly suspect that it has something to do with the configuration of their servers.

I am finding it impossible to upgrade from 2.5 to 2.6. My hosting is on Go Daddy – all the sites on Network Solutions upgraded without a problem. But when I upgrade to 2.6 on the Go Daddy hosting account everything seems to go well until I have to log back in after the installation. The old password does not work and I request a new password. That doesn’t work either – so I have had to go back to 2.5 just to get the site to display. Any ideas? Thanks, Chief

@Diane
I think it is okay to upgrade to WordPress 2.6.1. I have not found any bug in the program. The issue discussed above were perculiar to certain hostng servers not WordPress 2.6.1. Cheers.

You can also change in your wp-settings file the frequency it auto saves. We changed ours from 60 to 6000 and disabled the autosave. This cleared up the problem for our blog for WP 2.6. Haven’t had the guts yet to upgrade to 2.6.1. We’re giving it some more time LOL! Once was enough!
