• afaik, wordpress-1.0.2-blakey is the latest stable version, right? i just downloaded it from sourceforge and i’m having a problem upgrading from wp 0.72. i have no idea where to begin 🙂 (can’t understand the instructions for upgrading in the readme. do i have to follow the “5 minute” steps again?). thanks for the help guys.

  • 1) Backup everything including the files and the MySql database
    2) Make a note of the settings in your old wp-config.php (database, username etc)
    3) Delete your old 0.72 folder
    4) modify wp-config-sample.php with the settings from wp-config.php (0.72) and rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php
    5) Upload everything to your blog folder
    6) Visit in a webpage:
    http://yourwebpage.com/yourblogfolder/wp-admin/upgrade.php
    After that is done, check to see if your blog is updated. Again, make sure you back everything up in case something goes wrong.
