Still in the Update Mood – #4
0January 27th, 2007Hmmmm Things, Quickies* I have upgraded from wordpress version 2.0.3 to wordpress version 2.1
I have successfully upgraded CatLvr.com .. in 41 minutes.
I was a little concerned, because of those 41 minutes .. 27 of those minutes was spent just downloading and uploading files! I was in the cPanel to make a clean and separate backup of MySQL database when .. after my FTP download was complete, copying all of the files from the server to my local hard drive .. I immediately deleted the /wp-admin/ and /wp-includes/ folders and all the root files. Nuked them! Badda Bing! Gone! Poof!
However – I forgot to DE-activate any of my plugins!
So .. I’ve decided to just let it go .. and go with the flow .. and besides .. my CatLvr blog is not riveting with traffic. So, this is what I did after I uploaded the 2.1 folder on my computer (with all the plugins in the right places) ..
* I Put back the wp-config.php from my backup into the root folder
* I ran the upgrade script .. /wp-admin/upgrade.php
* I went into my options and updated the permalinks
* I DEACTIVATED all of the plugins ..
* I activated the ones that work with 2.1 and the ones I have been activating that I’m not sure but think works fine with 2.1
* That’s it.Oh – and those last 6 steps took me 13 minutes to do.
