How to update from wp 2.5?i didnt know

 

Overwrite your 2.5 files and run the upgrade.php.

 

I'll upgrade directly from 2.5 nothing intermediate

 

There doesn't appear to be much difference between the two in terms of features and appearence, but upgrading went smoothly for me so i welcome the changes.

 

Use WP-Automatic Upgrade Plugin, it's fast and easy

 

When upgrading manually, it says to delete files, i guess it means just overwrite the files when uploading 2.6 through ftp?

 

NO, apparently it's important to delete them, rather than just overwrite them,

 

Thanks uca, il make sure i do that.

 

Those who need upgrade of WP, please contact me and I will do that at a normal rate. Thanks!

 

Does fantastico UPGRADE delete or just overwrite?

 

I don't know, I stopped using the Fantastico installer a long time ago, too many random issues and not always up to date.

Go manual, it takes very little time and it's safer in my view.

 

I normally use the automatic upgrade plugin, i just needed to use the fantastico one time when it went wrong using the plugin.

 

Another vote for the Automatic Upgrade plugin!! But note that security measures in certain hosts would not let you execute the plugin.. BTW, if you're interested in reading a full review of Wordpress 2.6's features, check out my review here.

 

i am waiting for some time to see the situation with 2.6 version..then i will upgarde the wordpress using scritps with one click.

 

I overwritten my old files with new ones and everything seems to be fine, i do not see how could it make any difference if i delete them or not.

 

It's just a precaution. I always delete.

 

which hosts don't allow it?

 

Dont forget to keep your plugins and themes folders..

 

Well everyone should keep a continuous latest copy of their template and plugins on their local computer anyways.
