    Hi folks

    I have a 3.0.4 install that I want to upgrade to 3.1.4, I havent done a manual update before and am very nervous about doing so on a working blog… is there anyway I can get the automatic updater to update to newer-but-not-the-newest version?

    I have the install files downloaded and unzipped and the site fully backed up but I’m still worried about performing this myself…

    Thanks

    Why is it you don’t want to update to the newest version?

    Why not update to 3.2.1?

    My hosting package doesnt support the MySQL and PHP requirements, but I need the security of a more recent install…

    Also the update details page notes that updates should never be applied over more then two versions, i.e. I can update to the next version or the one after directly but that I shouldnt update to a third version without updating to the first or second one first. As my version 3.0.4 is about 7 or 8 versions behind 3.2.1 I would still need to update to an older version first…

    Thanks for that link, but it doesnt shed much light on the question…

    Sorry – no.

    Ok thanks Esmi, I’ll just have to man up and take the plunge to deleting files…
