I am confused, just a little about upgrading and plugins…

    I think I’m doing too much at once. I can’t seem to upgrade correctly. I’m also adding plugins and do not know what directory to extract it to. It could be to wordpress 2.3 or 1 of my 2 wordpress 2.3.1’s. Do I need to upgrade a version by version in sequence until 2.3.1 or do I just upgrade to 2.3.1 outright. I am guilty of thinking things more difficult than they really are. I’ve tried the descriptive installation and the upgrade too. I do not want to lose my blog so I backed it up on the server, I think.

    Lot of questions there…

    I think I’m doing too much at once.

    Slow down then. ??

    I’m also adding plugins and do not know what directory to extract it to.

    Plugins go in the wp-content/plugins directory.

    Do I need to upgrade a version by version in sequence until 2.3.1

    No.

    or do I just upgrade to 2.3.1 outright.

    Yes.

    I am guilty of thinking things more difficult than they really are.

    Relax. Lay off the coffee. Switch to iced tea. ??

    Hope that helps.

    thanks for your help. The active directory is 3.2. I know about which directories to put it in but nothing is showing to activate on the admin control panel. The other directory of 3.2.1 was the zipped folder. I’m glad you said relax because I was panicing before. As for the upgrading, I thought that when I first set the upgrade to automatic, it would do what it was set to. I already tried the link of how to upgrade(extended) and am drawing a blank on what to do.
