Upgrading to WordPress 2.5.1
April 26, 2008 · Filed Under Uncategorized
WordPress announced about their new WordPress version 2.5.1 release. Finally I manage to upgrade the WordPress manually for the first time. I followed the tips given by Ravi, as I was lazy enough to follow WordPress’s detail upgrading guide.
- First download the latest version
- Extract it
- Delete the WP-Content folder
- upload it to your WordPress blog directory
- Run WordPress Upgrade at http://yourblog.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php
that’s it, it worked like magic.
WARNING:
When uploading the contents of the downloaded WordPress files, make sure you upload the contents but not the renamed directory. If you rename your directory to the blog’s directory name in the server it’ll over write important files such as config.php.
Got no problem in upgrading. Thanks Mr. WordPress, you’re the best~!

hi, add a warning that u have to copy the contents of the desktop wordpress folder inside the folder where u installed wordpress. if by mistake u just upload the folder replacing the wordpress folder in server, u r gone
Now, if only all plugins with “check_admin_referrer” weren’t STILL broken, I would be extremely pleased with WP 2.5.x

I got no issues as I was not using such plugins!
@Ravi
Done!
