Upgrading to WordPress 2.5
Over the weekend I upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.5, which went almost flawlessly, kudos to the WordPress developers for their efforts. I followed the standard upgrade guide, however pulled the code from SVN instead of the standard tarball, which will make upgrading in the future easier, nice as I haven’t upgraded for almost two years!
Update: Yet another reason to upgrade…
Funny I did the same. Although at first it appeared that I would have to back up a few things such as databases and modified php, css, html files, as my site is not just a standard blog format. However after spending half an hour reading through the upgrade doco I realised that the web server that I am on has an auto upgrade option.
Worked like a charm too. Only change I had to make was the main index.php file that was overwritten which I had slightly modified. It is a shame that the upgrade doesn’t check for modified files. Still alls good.
