Wordpress 2.8


Normally these upgrades go well, but when you accidentally unzip/untar the new version over the top of your current install, things don’t quite go according to plan ;)

Though kudos to the WP Dev’s, I modified the wp-config file and set all the options (including a different database table prefix), and then I put all my plugins back in to place, and took the time to upgrade a couple I needed to do. Finally, after a deep breatth, I ran what would normally be the installer, which said “Your database needs updating”.

And that was all, so considering my potentially costly foul-up, things actually went very well :) I’m quite impressed!

    Your theme doesn’t work with the new install lol. Anyway, I thought you just clicked a link in wp-admin?
