I used to run an old blog, and I'm thinking about resurrecting it.

The problem?

I'd like to hide all the older entries. The last one I wrote was in 2008.

:shifty:.

I'm thinking of doing a complete over haul of the site and just... re-doing it completely and doing a whole new .. scheme.

But, I'd like to hide the site's actual older posts.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks guys and gals.

I suppose it doesn't matter anymore though.. I tried updating to the latest version .. followed all the directions.. and when I hit refresh on my site... all I get is a white page on my site. :(

I think I destroyed my site.

I'll have to ask my brother who helped me set it up in the first place what I did wrong.

You didn't destroy anything, just sounds like something either didn't get fully updated or bad permissions.

Did you try upgrading via the backend / automatic way or did you manually upload via FTP?

PS - If you have aim, send me an IM to jordanriane and I can probably help you out with it.

I r wordpress pr0. ;). 6 years under my belt of being able to screw up wordpress every way possible :D

Yeah, I can guarantee that the server you're on hit their memory wait/max time out and you have partially uploaded folders and/or wrong permissions.

http://wordpress.org/latest.zip -- Manually upload. Don't need to worry about it overwriting anything, and you can always skip the wp-content directory.

Next time you want to auto upgrade, I highly recommend you deactivate all plugins first. You might have a greater chance of a successful upgrade.

Thats.. what I did .. D: I think I forgot to disable plugins though.. and thats what screwed up. :(

And the server is my brothers own server. It'll never time out unless I specify time out time.

I get that a lot when I manually update my site. Just be sure to have your databases protected.

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      EA reached out to our reporter that mainly does gaming content and reviewed loads of other games, why would this be shocking to anyone? I admit maybe we were considered this time around because of the extra coverage UFC was getting and they wanted a broader audience for this release? IDK. I can tell you that we aren't paid to do the reviews, the fun part of it is (mostly) being able to keep what we review and giving an honest opinion on what we're reviewing.
