I just upgraded multiple blogs running Wordpress 2.6.3 (hups… seems like i missed one release).
Here’s the release announcement

edit
Nope, the 2.6.5 release is the first release after 2.6.3…

Note that we are skipping version 2.6.4 and jumping from 2.6.3 to 2.6.5 to avoid confusion with a fake 2.6.4 release that made the rounds. There is not and never will be a version 2.6.4.
from the release note…

… again

Christer Solskogen complained about my blog design this week. Or rather the fact that I hadn’t personalized it at all. So, I decided to create a new design. Here it is… There is still a lot to do on it, but I feel its a step in the right direction.

Wow. someone clicked my chatback badge! (the “chat with me”-bubble in the menu)

I’ve just had a pretty long conversation with some random person that had stumbled over my blog, while searching for Digitalo.

It was actually quite fun.

I’ve upgraded wordpress again (from 2.5 to 2.5.1). All that was required was

svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.5.1

I havent looked at the changes, I guess its security related, … so everyone… upgrade

The first thing I have to say about this is keep your worpress up to date at all times! Skipping a release will not only make you vulnerable to hackers, but also make it more difficult to upgrade later. But this, of course is something you already know, lets see what we could do to make it easier to manage this.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a distribution system for wordpress?
Actually, you have! You can use Subversion to install wordpress, and upgrading later is as easy as just switching repositories, if you follow static versions, or svn update if you install from trunk.

This makes upgrades a 4 step procedure (you can cut it down to 2 if you like to live risky, or if you don’t use custom plugins):

• Disable all plugins
• run svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.5/
• go to your wp-admin, and update database (one click operation)
• Enable your plugins again

As mentioned, you may skip the first and the last point.

See wordpress.org for more info, on how to switch from a tarball installed wordpress to a svn-installed wordpress, or performing a fresh install from svn.

According to Stuart Herbert, if you use the advanced TinyMCE editor instead of the builtin wysiwyg editor, disable it before upgrading. Its not compatible with 2.5 (yet).

On the other hand, always disable all plugins before upgrading, and enable them one by one afterwards.

And, Bjørge, I will get back to what I did to make WP-upgrading easy soon.

This time from 2.3.3 to 2.5 using subversion. It was dead easy! Though I find the user interface a bit confusing, I’m very happy to have found a way to keep the blog up-to-date in an easy way.

It is very cool to be able to manage photos and galleries inside wordpress too

Jeg har nå omsider tatt meg tid til å oppgradere wordpress, og nå er det satt opp på en slik måte at det skal være rimelig enkelt å oppdatere fremover. Jeg har imidlertid i prosessen mistet alle kommentarene. Jeg har en backup av dem, så jeg skal få de inn igjen.

Årsaken til at jeg omsider fikk oppdatert wordpress var egentlig, …og dette er litt flaut… at den gamle wordpressen ble hacket. Egentlig vil jeg takke CanalDigital for at de var rask på labben, og kuttet linjen min for å redusere omfanget av skadene, selv om det var litt fortvilende der og da. Og så var det litt irriterende å få ny IP-adresse når linjen kom opp igjen

Nå er bloggen endelig i orden igjen etter at hoveddomenet mitt (elzapp.com) der stylesheets o.l. ligger har vært nede en stund
