Upgrading Wordpress automatically…what a pleasure!

9 January, 2010 (22:08) | Blogging, Wordpress | By: clive

In the past, I always did a manual upgrade…and it took time, a long time. I would first delete all the files and directories (keeping some), then upload all the new files and directories, then if I’m lucky it all worked as before. Mostly not, as in the upload phase, due to some unknown issue, something went wrong and one or more file was corrupted. More time to sort it out till eventually I managed to get everything working as before…then another upgrade came along and I had to go through the whole painful process again. Not anymore, I won’t! I’ll just do it automatically!

I was hesitant to upgrade automatically at first but I took a chance and hit the button…surprise, surprise. Literally 2 or three minutes later and my site had been upgraded to 2.9.1. Painlessly, no problems. What a pleasure. Thank you Wordpress!
