Wordpress Upgrade

written by sideout

This post is absolutely unrelated to anything automotive in general and motorcycles in particular. Just wanted to gloat on the fact that we had just upgraded to WordPress v 2.3.1 which was officially released just a day ago. I am really amazed at how well WordPress has made its blog software. They pride themselves on having a 5 minute installation process. And the upgrade procedure hasn’t been a disappointment so far.

Oops. The moment I typed that up I started seeing errors. Basically I had to manually recreate 2 database tables. And now my blog posting abilities seem to come back to normal. Thank God I backed everything up just in case.

Anyway it finally looks like the upgrade is over. It’s been less than an hour since I’d started it (backups included). I think it is still pretty impressive for a software product to migrate that easily. I did however run into a little issue described above. So if someone needs an advice or runs into any sort of problems migrating from 2.1.2 to 2.3.1 then I’d be happy to help to the best of my knowledge.
