Can’t upgrade to 2.7

  • I just set up WordPress 2.6.5 through Bluehost. They set it up for me and it works fine. I haven’t done any work on the blog, so it is exactly as it was first set up. The program says upgrade to 2.7. I downloaded, unzipped, deleted old files, and uploaded. I was careful to make sure the old wp-config.php was saved. It didn’t upgrade. I tried it again and unzipped and uploaded. Same thing. The program still seems to work fine, but it still tells me to upgrade to 2.7. Does anyone have any thoughts?

    Thanks, I tried that and it says no upgrade required, yet on the dashboard it tells me to upgrade to 2.7.

    In the cPanel there is an icon called Simple Scripts. Check to see if your installation is listed in there. If it is, there should be an upgrade option next to it. Try that.
    If it isn’t, go through the upgrade steps again step by step and make sure to follow every step. If you have all the new files in place, when you go to /wp-admin/upgrade.php it will give you the option to upgrade.
    If you cannot get it to work, since your installation is brand new, you can simply remove it and install the latest version through Simple Scripts. After that, when new installations are available, you can use the built-in feature to WP 2.7 which allows you upgrade, or use the upgrade feature in Simple Scripts.
