  Hi! I’ve downloaded the new version, and using an ftp – have (apparently) successfully uploaded that version to my site. But my cpanel is still showing it’s the old version. I remember reading a long time ago that there was a problem jumping from a version as old as mine – which disallowed an automatic update. What do I need to do to get the new version to activate?

  Thanks!

  The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.
