Have you upgraded to Wordpress 2.3 yet?
A couple of weeks ago I found a message in my Wordpress admin panel saying my Wordpress installation was out of date. And I should upgrade to version 2.3 as soon as possible, due to it having a lot of bug fixs in it.
Now that always sends a chill down my spine because I hate messing about with Wordpress in that way. I don’t now much about hosting or Wordpress for that fact, just what I have learned along the way. The blog is up and running fine, and I always think if it isn’t broke don’t fix it.
But this is an important upgrade with bug fixs in it so I have put it off long enough, I know I have to upgrade it. I have never upgraded Wordpress before and that’s the main reason I have been stalling.
Wordpress Automatic Upgrade Plugin
Until now, I have found a plugin which could save all my worrying. The Wordpress Automatic Upgrade Plugin by Techie Buzz. It does just what it says and automatically upgrade your Wordpress version to the latest one from wordpress.org.
I have just used it to upgrade this blog from Wordpress 2.1 to Wordpress 2.3 and it was fantastic, no problems it just did it! I thoroughly reccommend using this plugin, it makes a backup of the files and database (as well as cleaning it up), deactivates all plugins and then reactivates after the upgrade has been installed.
There are some amazing plugins out there that really make a bloggers life easier and the automatic upgrade plugin is certainly one of them.
