During the weekend I plan to upgrade my blog to the latest version of wordpress 2.1.1. It is the first time I am passing through this stage so I am looking for step-by-step guides to upgrading from 2.1 I would like to make a backup of data before upgrading to be extra sure. If someone can explain or can point a link please post it here. Thanks in advance. Including what not to do when upgrading. TIA.
I did it last night and it took about 2 minutes. You just have to update all you files and run /wp-admin/upgrade.php. Here's the official documentation on it: http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress
Yeah, just follow the link trevlar gave.You should be able to upgrade super quick since your already using the 2.1 branch of wordpress.
