    I have successfully (sort of) upgraded WP MU 1.0 to 1.2.1. However, the post that was displayed on the welcome page has disappear (www.domain.com/blogs is now blank). The post is present under the "uncategorized" but it should be display on the "welcome" page as well.

    Is there a function somewhere in the blogging menu to move the post to the welcome page? or some feature to indicate visiting http://www.domain.com/blogs --> go to this specific post?

    Thank you.

    Regards,

    Did you run the upgrade script seccessfully? Dashboard -> Site Admin -> Upgrade?

    Yes, the upgrade script ran successfully (I think it just updated the database?) anyhow, there was no error. Currently, the welcome post is under "uncategorized" but if I can edit the main page .../blogs/ with a new post, that would be fine too.

    However, I'm not certain how to do that, Site Admin -> Blogs -> Site Edit seems to edit the configuration for the site rather than the main/welcome screen.

    I solved my problem. (Why is it the simplest thing is more complex to troubleshoot?)

    Under the Site Admin --> Blogs --> edit the /blogs/ and change the Show On Front option from "page" to "posts." I'm not certain why the upgrade would change this configuration (if any). I referenced the settings between the production and the development/lab machine.
