Can I have two different versions of WordPress on separate sites on the same host?
I have a server running WordPress 2.3.1, and I'd like to try the latest version, but I only have one server.
Can I mix versions between two sites? They both would be using the same MySQL & PHP.
A simple yes or no would be good enough.
Thanks.

Posted 3 years ago #an easy way is to create a new file name it test.php and put this into it.
<html> <body> <?php phpinfo(); ?> </body> </html>then upload the file and point your browser to it on your website. Or if you have access to the server shell you could run
php -v -

I have multi Blogs running now on the same server, but I want to upgrade Word Press on one. If this is not what you responded to, please let me know, otherwise I'm headed to your link.

I only want to do a WordPress upgrade on one of my Blogs (I know how). All my Blogs use the same MySQL & PHP. Will I mess things up if I leave some of my Blogs with the older version of WordPress? -
