Well my host doesn’t allow the automatic upgrade feature so I always have to do it manually…spon I will move to a new host till then have to bear with it, anyway nice article really loved the idea of backing wp-content folder instead of whole installation

No problems here. Most-Likely a hosting account issue.

I’ve tried several sites across many hosting accounts. I can’t get the WordPress 2.8.2 auto-upgrade to function. Is anyone else having the same problems? I just plan to work on the next version of WordPress. I had not problems with auto-upgrade before this one.

Probably a database setting, of which I know nothing about.

Hi Jeff

just found your site… looks full of useful info.

I’ve been messing about with wordpress 2.8 on a local server using XAMPP but can’t get any response when I try to do an automatic upgrade.

Is this because the server is local (on my PC)?

Any thoughts?

Backing up content of a site is one of the most important aspect when planning to upgrade, as for me i can’t risk it.

Obviously not in your case…
But really I don’t know, guess it depends on your database settings.

Just started using wordpress a short time ago,
and I’m just trying to get a grip of all the endless possibilities that i gives you.
Also tried to do the automatic upgrade and actually was told it went ok. But guess it didn’t as I still have that upgrade reminder…
Do you if you can auto upgrade a localized version?

WordPress plugins will come and go and I use one of the plugins you mentioned. But knowing what to backup and how to do it manually is something you should know if you are maintaining a WP blog.
