Upgrading WordPress

July 22nd, 2008 by Randy

Hello bloggers… Randy here..

I decided to upgrade my 2 year old version of WordPress© yesterday.  I started through the whole back up your blog and database routine.  I thought that there had to be a better solution.  Not that my skills weren’t up to it.  It’s just a matter of why do something longhand when someone out there has a nifty solution for the problem/issue.

I poked around the WordPress© upgrade info webpage and found that nifty solution.  It’s a plugin called the WordPress Automatic Update .  This thing works GREAT!  The instructions are simple.  You don’t even have to disable your existing plugins.  It backs up your files and database.  Allows you to download them to your local machine and then upgrades to the latest version of WordPress©.  In my case that was V 2.6.

I’m sure that you could possibly screw it up somehow.  But if you follow the instructions and the screen prompts your outcome will be golden.  It seems idiot proof.

If you’re contemplating an upgrade to your WordPress© blog, then this is the plugin for you.  It’s a gem.  Visit the Techie Buzz website for the complete scoop on the plugin and the download.  It’s one of those plugins that you would be grateful to pay for, so give them a donation.
