Upgrading Wordpress

Posted January 17, 2008

Not as painless as installing it, but the upgrade instructions here work pretty well.

1) wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

2) cp -aR blog/wp-content/* wordpress/wp-content/

3) cp blog/wp-config.php wordpress/

4) disable all plugins http://example.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?action=deactivate-all

5) mv blog old-blog && mv wordpress blog

6) make sure you hit http://example.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php

7) and manually re-enable all your plugins.

and you’re done.
