Wordpress 2.5
Today I upgraded this blog to the latest Wordpress (2.5)
It took me 5 minutes.
- I backed up my entire blog directory on my web server (moved it to another directory name)
- Disabled my plugins
- Installed a fresh wordpress (wget www.wordpress.org/latest.zip)
- Unzipped it (unzip latest.zip whilst in my root web folder)
- Renamed it to my blog dir name (mv wordpress/ invertedreality/)
- Copied the wp-config.php file, plugins and themes from my old install to the new install.
- Ran the upgrade script from myurl.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php
- Logged into my admin panel, re-enabled my plugin’s, all done.
Easy, fast, and the site seems a little fast when browsing it too!

It was probably the easiest WP upgrade I’ve ever done, I upgraded about a dozen different blogs (friends) and I only ran into problems on one blog, mine. Granted my upgrade was the oldest version that I upgraded, thought it was funny though.
