I lost all my site content. cried out but nobody seems to hear me. Did you download the 4.2 software from WF? If you did not, it was probably due to that. I've upgraded forums with 4.2 to 4.3 without a problem. Sorry that you lost your content, however you should have made a backup of your forum (files and db) before you even upgrade or convert to another forum.

Check all of the check boxes. Thanks I just upgraded using your guide Could someone enlighten me as to what the above step does?

Thanks Caleeco In the previous releases, you were required to change the permissions in order to proceed with the upgrade. I think this has been changed in the 4.3.5 WF release. 1 Quote Support Team - September 9th, 2017 - June 8, 2018 Junior Moderator - December 14th 2018 - November 16th, 2019 Designer - November 16th, 2019 - June 5th, 2020 Moderator - June 5th, 2020 - August 28th, 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get an error best thing you can do is tell people the error as we are not mind readers and there is about 50 + errors then you need to tell us that. And yes evennamecheap can have hosting issues, it depends on how things are set up and what you done. They are hosting with a shared hosting and quite honestly I love namecheap for domains but I HATE their hosting its so crap.
