Consequences of upgrading to the new version? (2 posts)

    I've had WordPress on my site since last December and I'm really happy with it. But my dashboard keeps telling me there's a new version available (2.8.4) and that I should upgrade now.

    If I do that, is it a headache? Will it hose the plug-ins I've installed? Will I lose any content?

    It would help if you mentioned what version of WordPress you're currently using.

    You shouldn't lose content (although you should always make a full backup before upgrading) but you may find that some plugins will no longer work. Remember to deactivate all plugins before upgrading and then reactivate them one by one - checking both the site and the Admin area thoroughly after each re-activation.
