| Jan 17, 2021 at 23:52 | comment | added | Southside | Thank you for the hint on the log location I see [warning] The system has data from both old+new conventions. Please use civicrm.settings.php to set civicrm.files explicitly. I'll try to sort that out and see if it works after I get rid of that warning | |
| Jan 17, 2021 at 15:08 | comment | added | kapn | I would say that is fair to say of any documentation. How much that is true here, I can't really say. I haven't had upgrade troubles that weren't solved by reverting to backup and trying again more carefully and reviewing logs as I go. Have you looked in the web server error logs and in the CiviCRM logs (uploads/civicrm/ConfigAndLog)? I have often found useful clues there when the on screen message is not so helpful. The security issues are most likely to be either local permissions on directories. Maybe owner set to root and www-data can't read? | |

| Jan 15, 2021 at 20:57 | comment | added | kapn | I would say that is not the case. WordPress is getting more love all the time. However as @Demerit notes, there was a URL change back at 5.26. Have you tried converting the URL to the newer syntax? page= was swapped to be civiwp= I think. | |
