July 24th, 2008Wordpress 2.6 Experience
The 2.6 version of Wordpress has been released about 1 month ago, many bloggers already upgraded their Wordpress blogs since the first day without any problems or bugs. So, today I decided to upgrade my blog too, even I didn’t got any problem with my old 2.3 version, but after installing the Security plugin, it gives me a red alert that push me to upgrade as soon as possible.
What I hate about upgrading is to setup back the blog and reinstall the plugins etc.. So I was looking for the easiest way that will allow to me to upgrade without any additional work, and I found it, a simple way to upgarde within one minute or less if you have a high speed Internet connection. You wanna know how? Here we go:
1. Download Wordpress 2.6 (~1.2MB)
2. Unzip it, Upload and Replace your WordPress files, except: wp-config.php file and wp-content folder.
3. Point your browser to “http://yourdomain/wp-admin/upgrade.php“. Follow the instructions on screen to continue and upgrade within seconds.
The new version is pretty cool, it have a lot of new good and useful features like the automated plugin upgrade, I also like the new admin panel colors, look and organization of options.
Did you already upgraded to the latest 2.6 Wordpress version? Got any problem or bug?
