Upgrading wordpress

0

Version 2.7 of wordpress recently came out and I needed to upgrade because the flash image uploader was no longer working for my version of wordpress as flash 10 broke it.  Anyway, the upgrade was pretty simple and I’ll include the basic steps below.

1. Backup your database and files.

2. Overwrite the files in the root of your wordpress site.  Be sure not to overwrite the config.php file.

3. Overwrite the wp-admin and wp-includes directories and all files inside them.

4. Go to the admin (wp-admin) and it’ll notify you if a database upgrade is required.  If it is, click the one button on the screen, wait a second, and then it’s done.

Piece of cake.
