How to easily manually upgrade WordPress

September 5, 2009 by Dan

I had to post this tutorial, I couldn’t help it, this is so useful, and so simple.

The following tutorial explains how to quickly
upgrade WordPress to a newer version. The process is fairly straightforward and simple, however, I have frequently caught people including myself being lazy on an upgrade skipping important steps of the process. I feel it’s important to perform a manual
WordPress upgrade and not auto upgrade using a utility like fantastico. While fantastico is an awesome tool for installing web applications, it has it’s flaws when performing upgrades. It’s better to avoid the potential headache.

How to manually

upgrade

WordPress:

  1. Perform a complete backup of both your database and directory structure (in case something goes wrong)
  2. Login to your
    WordPress administration panel and deactivate all active plugins
  3. Download and extract the latest STABLE WordPresss version to a folder on your computer
  4. Upload the extracted files to your
    WordPress server directory with the exception of the following:

    • wp-content folder and it’s content
    • wp-includes/languages if you are using a custom language file
  5. To perform the
    upgrade, navigate to http://yoursitename/wp-admin/upgrade.php and follow the on screen steps
  6. Login to the administration panel and reactivate your plugins one by one to ensure that they still work with the new version of
    WordPress

Enjoy the new

WordPress release!
