Hi, that is exactly what I did first. When I did exactly that, I received a fatal error, as described in the first message. I did not delete the new folder that was created with the “updated” and not-working version 2 in it. I simply created a new geodirectory folder, put the backed up files back in it, and re-activated it. This was so that I at least had a working directory on the site.

However, as described in the first post, the upgrade instructions did not work. I simply re-uploaded the backup, and then came to the forum to try to get the issue fixed. If I was to delete that GDV2 folder, and the one plugin I tried to install, then when I follow the instructions, the exact same fatal error occurs. This is not something I can do myself, as the upgrade instructions caused it to fail.

As stated in the first message, the fatal error I received was “Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in geodirectory/includes/post-functions.php on line 308:”

This is why I posted the message on this support forum. The folder, which is marked “geodirectory-New-Version-Not-Working” can be safely deleted from the server, and if you then follow the upgrade instructions, you should be able to duplicate the fatal error that I received. I need to know why I got the fatal error, and how to actually upgrade the site. Your assistance in getting the upgrade working is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
