Today I logged into my wp-admin and came to see there was another update to Wordpress. Never is it fun to upgrade your blogging software. It’s about this time I envy all the writers on wordpress.com or blogger.com because they don’t need to manually update their software. For us smucks folks who manage their own websites Wordpress updates can be a pain.
Enter the “Wordpress Automatic Upgrade Plugin”.
Wordpress should just buy out the creator of this plugin and throw it into the core installation just like Apple did with Coverflow. For a 0.0.1 software upgrade Wordpress will remind you every turn possible to update. Luckily I stumbled upon this plugin that takes care of everything for you.
Going though the update process that normally takes me 20-30 minutes to do everything recommended took me about five minutes including uploading the plugin to vanlandw.com to completion. The only problem I was able to see was after upgrading wordpress my K2 sidebar items were jacked but that was a quick fix.
Wordpress should have an automatic updater. Seems every product these days takes care of the grunt work for you and Wordpress should pick it up and update itself.
Vanlandw should have an automatic updater.
I never get why you an JJA have so much trouble. i seriously just unzip the files into my wordpress directory (overwriting the old ones) and it always has worked flawlessly.
I am running 2.5.1 :-/
