--- Quote ---Short version:
- make a backup of all files and the database (!important)

 +Recommanded way: (fast & safe)
 - download WB ZIP package & unzip.php.zip
 - rename unzip.php.zip to unzip.php
 - upload WB ZIP package & unzip.php to your WB root folder (where the config.php is located)
 - run unzip.php in your browser (https://yourdomain.com/unzip.php) (please replace yourdomain.com with your own domain)
 - login in your backend as Super-Admin (admin with id 1) and run upgrade-script via upgrade link or via wb-info panel (i-button)

The unzip.php and the WB ZIP delete themselves after the successful execution of the unzip.php.

I unpacked the tar file of the 2.12.2 distribution into the directory where I had 2.12.1. Then, I logged into the back end, as Luisehahne suggested, as admin (user ID 1). This gave me a button to press to start the upgrade.

I selected options (in this case, show upgrade details and confirm back up options), and clicked the "Start upgrade script" button. It finished without any evident error. I got an error when I went to the front end, but that's because I've added some functions and they were not represented in the new files. I added those and the front end came up.

I was able to add a new user without getting an error, which was the reason I originally went through this upgrade. I have a number of other issues, but I'll put them in their own messages.

dbs:
What do you mean with this post?
Thanks for upgrade help?
You're welcome.

richwingerter:
I mean a little more than that, dbs. I mean not just thank you for the help but also that upgrading was successful at fixing the original problem, which was that adding a new user resulted in an error message. Now it doesn't.
