    Has anyone had trouble updating their wordpress blogs? I am running a version of WP I installed in 2005, and now with the server mysql /php updates, it's displaying my very first post first, and latest post last... Quite strange!

    The solution is for me to just update my blog... but it looks like a long process. Has anyone updated recently and know of a good set of instructions to use? (*the stock ones are wack)

    if your having problems you may be as well exporting the posts and then importing them again into a fresh install. Try this first on a test area of your site though to make sure you get the process right

    Good call, but I would probably be afraid of losing everything (not backing up my database correctly or something), which would result in me losing 3 years worth of blogging :0

    I really wish there was a safe easy way to update. :confused:

    I have done this method of updating when i run into problems.
    System0 Is right ,make a backup of your database and blog files.
    Install the latest version of wordpress on a test account and make a test database then import all the info to the test database,This method will work if your having probs updating.

    Updating is normally simple to do.
    You just upload the files and go to the wp-admin/update.php your blog should update.

    If you need any help give me a shout i can do the update.:)
