@Allen I'm sorry to hear of the trouble you're experiencing. Have you checked the version of the database backup plugin? Maybe it's not compatible with the latest upgrade? The one I'm using can be found here. I hope that helps.

I have tried this and managed to fix the comment notifications but my other emails are still not arriving such as my daily database backup.

You can see the test I did here.

Perhaps you might discover something.

Thanks.

@Sire
I’ve hear of that plugin but have always been leery of giving control over to something like that to upgrade my blog. So it’s really reliable?

I haven't had any problems after the upgrade. I used to hate upgrades until I found a plugin that did it all automatically including backups and all, now I look forward to upgrades. LOL Sire's last blog post..Qassia The Latest Revenue Earning Link Building Site.

Very cool! Don’t forget to backup your database just in case.

@Jenn Hi Jenn, I'm sorry to hear of the trouble you're having. That's not something I've heard before. I had something similar a few upgrades ago, but that also involved me transferring hosts which probably had something to do with it. The trouble there was that some of my posts went uncategorized and the count was off. But once I reassigned categories to them, all was fine. So what you're saying is that you delete the categories from your admin control panel and they come right back? That's weird. I haven't a clue on what to say to try. Perhaps others here might have something to offer. I can't say for sure, but as for going back to a previous version, it's worth a shot. You can visit this place to find the version you came from. Perhaps you could ask the WP support forum that question and hopefully get a response. Btw, I share your frustration with not getting a reply. It's a gamble at times. Good luck and let us know if you find a solution or if you have other questions.

I’ll have to remember this when I upgrade. After a 3-month rest, I think an upgrade would be nice. Thanks for sharing!

Mark: Now can you tell us how to fix the Categories in this new upgrade?

After upgrading, I cannot add or delete categories.

Oh, I can go to the Categories page and delete them, but then they come right back when the page is refreshed.

And when drafting a post, I cannot add a new category AT ALL.

I’ve posted about this on several folks’ sites and no one has gotten back to me with a response.

Alternatively, how do I go back to the prior version of WordPress until this is resolved???

Message to all your readers: DO NOT UPGRADE.
