I learned a lesson today when doing an upgrade to a site. I performed the upgrade a week ago actually and today was the first time I noticed the issue.
As you all know WordPress can be integrated with IndexU. But WP comes with many updates over time to correct issues and sometimes add features.
I upgraded WP and thought nothing of it. I had actually upgraded 9 WP installations all in one batch and since it worked fine on a few sites, I assumed it worked fine on others as well.
Well WordPress was working well, but the issue was that since I dumped the entire update onto the server the default theme was overwritten. If you know about the IndexU integration it requires changes to the default theme.
Suddenly I’m now looking at a standard installation instead of an integrated installation. OOPS!
My mistake was in upgrading the default theme, when I should have left it alone. The other installations are all on standalone blog sites which all use custom themes so none of them would be affected.
Hope you can learn from my mistake, I know I will.
