Wordpress Upgrades

July 21st, 2008 Posted in Blogging

I’ve gone and updated this blog to the latest version of Wordpress.  If you run a wordpress blog, you should really check out the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin.  Wordpress upgrading is a pretty straight forward process, but why not just set it up so you can click through an upgrade.

The plugin will backup your installation and database, download the files, put the site into maintenance mode, and then fetch and install the upgrade all within the administration console.  It really doesn’t get much easier.

My one gripe is that it seems that it does not automatically re-enable your plugins after the installation (even though it says it does).  This is a little bit of a pain, but plugins are what can really hose up the installation sometimes so re-enabling them one by one is usually the best course of action anyways.

Here’s the link for the plugin. (from TechieBuzz)
