It seems that every now and the wordpress will update a newer version. It is quite troublesome if you end up having more than 1 wordpress blog. It will be especially hard when there is more than one hosting server. WordPress Auto Update actually makes the job easy. Rather than doing the following steps for a normal upgrade.
- Delete your old WP files, saving ones you’ve modified.
- Upload the new files.
- Point your browser to /wp-admin/upgrade.php.
- You wanted more, perhaps? That’s it!
Now you just have to provide the script with your ftp information. Everything else will be done by the plugin.
WordPress Auto Update will perform the following:-
1. Backs up the files and makes available a link to download it.
2. Backs up the database and makes available a link to download it.
3. Downloads the latest files from http://wordpress.org/latest.zip and unzips it.
4. Puts the site in maintenance mode.
5. De-activates all active plugins and remembers it.
6. Upgrades wordpress files.
7. Gives you a link that will open in a new window to upgrade installation.
8. Re-activates the plugins.
I have tried this in one of my blogs and it works like a charm upgrading to WordPress 2.2.3.
Have you done it yet?
It’s worked for us as well. Thanks.
Not a problem at all. Always glad that it helped
