I’ve Upgraded to WordPress 2.0.6
Automattic released it’s new version of WordPress today. 2.0.6 contains security fixes, and other notable updates so I upgraded quickly. This release will be the last until 2.1 (which is in beta) comes out.
How to Upgrade in Five Steps
Step 1: Backup Database Tables and Files including .htaccess
Here, the objective is to save the data, and your customizations.Step 1a: Save Data
Use phpMyAdmin or other appropriate tools provided by your webhost, to backup the database used by WordPress.
Step 1b: Save Customizations
Basically, backup the files that you have changed or added since you installed the standard WordPress.Step 2: Deactivate Plugins
Deactivate all the Plugins you use at the Plugin Management Page.Step 3: Overwrite Files
Get the latest and greatest WordPress (http://wordpress.org/download) and upload it to the WordPress directory, overwriting all the files that exist there. This will preserve your images and themes.Step 4: Run the upgrade script
Visit your blog’s Upgrade Page ( http://example.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php ) and follow the instructions that are displayed.Step 5: Reactivate Plugins one by one
Awaken the monsters, one by one, at the Plugin Management Page ( http://example.com//wp-admin/plugins.php ). Check if everything works as expected.
