I have been a bit nervous to do this update from all the things I’ve read, but was worried about the latest invasion so I just decided to give it a try. And so far it’s holding! I need to decide if I’m going to use WP or another CMS system for a new project so I hope Wordpress is stable and can weather this little storm. So far so good. I’ll let you know if the status changes. Because WE LOVE WP : ) don’t we?
My steps for the Wordpress update from 2.7 to 2.8.4:
From the link below on the WP codex: I did step 1 to 5
http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended
I then saved the database as instructed here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
and then from the Admin panel on your WP site, where it says Update Now – I selected that button and let Wordpress do an automatic update. It took a few minutes to complete it’s thing, but it completed successfully while I was testing to see how long I could hold my breath.
And now we’re up and running and I have managed to update most of the plugins and just want to test a few more things and do some more research for my new project that I think would be perfect in Wordpress!
If anyone has any other insight into the latest Wordpress story please let me know or comment here.
