Easy Way to upgrade to WordPress 2.7
Finally, I just upgraded my WordPress from version 2.63 to version 2.7. My old WordPress was initially installed by Godaddy, but when I ask them again, they said they can’t (read: don’t want) do it at the moment. So I searched on Google on how to do it, as this is my first WordPress and I don’t want to mess up with it.
Thanks God I found this plugin, called InstantUpgrade. May God bless this man who makes it. I just took me less than 2 minutes to upgrade. No setting needed, no changing file, nothing!
All you need to do it just activate the plugin, it does upgrading by itself. and 1 minute later, Done! Your WordPress is now version 2.7.
How does it work?
The InstantUpgrade plugin downloads the latest WordPress version from the WordPress server and unpacks it at your server. In the next step, it deletes all of your old WordPress files (except wp-content/ and wp-config.php) and puts the new files into your WordPress directory. Finally, it runs the database upgrade script. That procedure is exactly what the official guide proposes, only 30 times faster and with you leaning back.
Is it safe to use?
Yes. The plugin interfaces are very intuitive, everything is well explained. Before the upgrade process, comprehensive checks are performed to ensure that nothing can be broken. As for security: The plugin cannot do anything that you or your web server couldn’t do anyway. So, yes, it is safe to use. (However, bad things can *always* happen, so you should always have backups of your database and files.)
How much does it cost? Free, however it a good courtesy to tip a donation for his hard work.
