So I got the site backed up finally. WP said it was connected to my Google Drive, but that was a lie, and when I connected again it finally believed it. Then I updated everything WP said was old and needed updating. Now I have no media. The media page shows empty boxes where media used to be, and all the pages and posts where media used to be have text but that’s it. Sigh. I’m going to give up for today because that’s about all the aggravation I can stand for one day.

A warning would have been nice WP. Something like, oh I don’t know, hey if you update these things that we say you need to update, you will lose all your media, Are You Sure? At least give me a choice before things get broken. Yes, I ignored that old saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
