Advice before upgrading

  • Hi,

    I’ve got wordpres version 2.6 I think – installed it about a 7/8 weeks ago.

    The documentation I’ve found for upgrading to 2.7 is lacking in my opinion – for example, “retain files you’ve modified”. Talk about vague!!!

    Also I’m a bit worried about breaking my theme, as well as how to revert the database back if the upgrade fails. I’ve had terrible experiences upgrading web apps before and would love a good guide for this one, otherwise quite frankly I’m not going to upgrade ??

    And as a side note, is it really necessary to upgrade to 2.7?

    Thanks ??

    Jody

  • “retain files you’ve modified”

    that is fairly explanatory – don’t mess with files you changed or things will break. :>)

    2.7 is not a security release, but you will need to upgrade eventually

    If you want a detailed, step-by-step example, then the videos at the link below may help. I use Cpanel in the demo, but the process is the same if you use FTP.
