The upgrade on this blog had actually run well with no problems. When I tried to run a similar upgrade on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/lipsengtan\/photoblog\">dad&#8217;s photoblog<\/a>, a big crash occurred during which I was not even able to access a single of my, my wife&#8217;s and my dad&#8217;s hosted sites. Even the Yahoo! web-hosting control panel refused to run, making the whole of my web domain at elcreations.org crippled. Perhaps I should have done a backup prior to the upgrade&#8230; I was almost resigned to losing 5 years worth of work here, not counting the collective blogs and memories on my dad&#8217;s and wife&#8217;s blogs. <\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, calls to Yahoo tech support were toll-free on Skype. I am eternally grateful to the whiz at Yahoo tech support who managed to find an &#8220;unsupported&#8221; way of restoring my site to the &#8220;snapshot&#8221; backup done the day before the crash. Without him, I think I might still be manually clicking each file in the snapshot (at least more than 1000 of them) now in a desperate effort to restore this site. One thing&#8217;s for sure&#8230; I am going to make a nice big backup of this site&#8230;. before I attempt the upgrade again *shudder*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-content\/photos\/thumb20090407_40D_0045.jpg\" alt=\"Wading Through\" width=\"130\" height=\"89\" \/>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nature","category-travel","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/przUn-ak","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=640"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":642,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640\/revisions\/642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
