    Hello experts,

    I'm on a Yahoo hosting and Yahoo provide a already installed wordpress but its Version: 2.6.2. How do I go about replacing it with version 2.7?

    I try to follow the instruction but some of the world press file can't be move to replace the old ones.

    Can anyone help with this?

    Use your FTP account and replace all the WP files with WP 2.7 files.

    Make sure not to overwrite your template files if you have modified them. Also it's always a good idea to backup all of your files and your mysql database before you upgrade just in case something goes wrong.

    Move it off Yahoo and get a different hosting account. After two extremely frustrating upgrades for others I will never ever do anything on Yahoo Small Business. I can't remember the details because it has been a while but I do remember telling myself never to touch Yahoo again. Good luck.

    Just replace all the 2.7 version with yr current 2.6 version, except "wp-content" folder.
    and upgrade it.
