It’s always when you’re on your way to bed, but you think “oh, this won’t take more than a second” that something turns into a HUGE PROBLEM. I was poking around, trying to figure out what could be taking up so much space on this site, when Fantastico told me a WordPress upgrade was available.
“Okay, it’s only the click of a button,” says I.
“Then I’ll go to bed,” says I.
That was two hours ago. On the plus side, I now know how to Untar files and restore backups of WordPress.
Oh! And, since I ran into a little trouble trying to re-upload the files, I discovered that it was all those themes taking up space! Those WordPress themes I downloaded a year ago and uploaded so I could check them out and choose my favorite? Note to self: delete them and store them on your hard drive when you’re not using them.
I went from 0.66MB free to 90.88MB. Yep. It almost feels like a fluke, but things seem to be working well enough now (*fingers crossed*). Well enough for me to finally go to bed, at least.
