Upgrading from a modified version of Vantage
Do you think I can overwrite my entire 1.1.4 version with the unmodified version from my initial download, which would restore all core files to their unmolested version, without touching my user files (listings, etc)? If so, could I then upgrade to the new vantage 1.2? I found creating child themes incredibly difficult (have only been using
WP about six months) and got lost and confused by the tutorial. On the core files, once you "tweak this" and "tweak that" on what you think is not consequential, you can never really pinpoint problems -- like now. Naturally I have backups of the site, so we decided to get rid of the modified 1.1.4 by upgrading to 1.2, and just not suffer the loss of our tweaks, but it blew out the site when we upgraded and just gave us pages of error messages. I had to restore the backup. So, if I start by overwriting our server files with the 1.1.4 files, do you think we could upgrade to 1.2 and start anew?
