Hi there, i am new to drupal and am trying to figure out this updating system.
i am getting this error.
X There is a security update available for your version of Drupal. To ensure the security of your server, you should update immediately! See the available updates page for more information and to install your missing updates.
One or more problems were detected with your Drupal installation. Check the status report for more information.
From what i understand is that i need to update 7.24 first then so on to get to 7.26, the trouble is that i am trying to upload drupal-7.24.tar.gz and its not working.
Now i have pages that i cant view like find content, which makes it hard to do anything. i get this page error:
X There is a security update available for your version of Drupal. To ensure the security of your server, you should update immediately! See the available updates page for more information and to install your missing updates.
Recoverable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in DatabaseStatementBase->execute() (line 2168 of /home/randal21/public_html/golffitapp.com/includes/database/database.inc).
amoungst all of this i was actually trying to install Theme Editior to edit CSS, but am not having any success.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Please check if you have followed thoroughly the upgrade instructions of Drupal. You can view the update instructions via the following link:

Also if you have a backup of your website, please restore your website from the backup and then try to upgrade your Drupal again.
Try again - all in one
For minor upgrades (7.x to 7.y) you don't have to go through each intermediate version - you can just upload 7.26, and when you run update.php it will apply all the updates that apply to get you from 7.23 to 7.26
It sounds like you need to: (i) go back to a backed up copy before your previous upgrade, (ii) follow the steps at https://drupal.org/node/1223018 carefully.
Upgrading Drupal core is not the simplest process (and it will get much easier with Drupal 8), but that documentation is pretty clear. You delete everything except sites, .htaccess and any other files you may have put into the website directory along the way (like logo or favicon files). You then extract a copy of 7.26, and put it into your website's directory. Finally, you run update.php.
