    I've been using wordpress 2.9.2 from since last year. The site is getting a good amount of traffic and their are many links pointing to it. I want to upgrade to the latest 3.2.1 as their is lot of flexibility and it's more secured, but I am afraid as it might affect the whole structure of permalinks. The menu system is different in newer WordPress so if I update it to the newer version, how will that react. Please guide me as I don't want to lose the rankings in search engine.

    An upgrade will not affect your permalinks.

    And what about the menu system, it's a lot different in 3.2.1 and 2.9.2?

    The old menu system still works.... so your menus shouldn't be affected

    Back then, menus were set up with http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_pages

    Normally, which is still supported

    After upgrade, you can leave it as is, or upgrade your theme to take advantage of the wp_nav_menu system
