Hello,
I recently upgraded to 4.2.3 (from whatever was the most recent version), and since the upgrade, users have reported odd issues, such as the contents of a post duplicating itself within the same post. I'm not talking about a double post - this occurs within a single post. It could be a coincidence and not have anything to do with the upgrade, but I doubt it for the reason mentioned below.
I first noticed problems with the upgrade when I attempted to run the upgrade.php process, and I received a file not found error. I then found out the entire install directory, along with others, was not downloaded or extracted from the members area of this site. I had downloaded the no images package, as I always do. I then redownloaded it, uploaded the contents, over wrote the files, but the upgrade process told me numerous files did not match the expected contents. All files were there this time, but this problem caused me to redownload the package (including the full one) two more times before that error went away, and I was able to successfully run the upgrade process.
However, ever since then, we've had odd issues such as the aforementioned problem, as well as another user reporting his posts within a thread weren't showing up. I suspect the problem is due to something with the files in the package - either from downloading them to my computer or uploading them to my site. I did confirm my FTP program transfer type is set to Auto, as it always is. The upgrade process Iis something I've done many, many times, and I can't ever recall a problem. Can someone please help me solve this problem?
