What a freaking nightmare today. Of my own making, I admit. I should have just walked away, but noooooooooooo…
After numerous failed attempts, I decided to take a once-and-for-all stab at fixing this site. Whether or not it’s completely working again, at least I did not die this day, and WordPress is finally running the current version. The Google Search Console is no longer complaining about the domain, which gives me a reason to not discontinue the blog.
