How to Upgraded to WordPress 2.7 Easily
After many hesitations to install/upgrade this blog and my other blogs to WordPress 2.7, I finally decided to give it a try. We all know there are detailed instructions on WordPress.org but as a man who doesn’t have time reading tips and tricks, I just don’t read it.
Really excited about the new admin theme of WordPress, I take all the risks and installed to the latest. I did not backup, did not follow all the instructions and just overwrite everything with the new files. And it worked really perfectly without having any issues. And now I encourage everyone to upgrade right after reading my personal tips.
1. Download the latest WordPress package
2. Extract the package in any folder on you host. It will extract the files inside a folder named ‘wordpress’
3. Copy all the extracted files. (not the whole wordpress folder)
4. Overwrite all the files inside your blog’s wordpress directory by pasting the copied files
5. Go to your admin page. You will be prompted to upgrade, do as it says.
6. Done.
This process is risky but it did not bring any at all to me. It’s safe in my case.
And apparently, wp-config file doesn’t require any changes as well.
