Just click ugrade to xxxx on dashboard.

 

Hi,

It doesn't allow me to do in this way.

It asks me to first download the latest version and then update it.

Any help please?

You need to download the latest upgrade, unzip it to a local folder, then upload via FTP to your existing wp install directory, overwriting with newer files. Log in and you will be prompted to update the database. That is all there is to it.

 

first export your posts using tools -> export option and also take backup of db and wp files

now install new 2.9.2 and import that file in admin panel also u need to enable plugins

 

Hi,
