    I am new to wordpress and trying to help admin an existing wp site. The site is using v 2.9.2

    I notice right away the message in the dashboard that a newer version is available for install. There are a small number of plug ins listed. They are all shown as not yet not 3.0.1 verified. I have made a back up of the site and the MySQL files.

    My question: Is it advisable/best practice to upgrade when the new versions come out? Or is it best to wait until the new version has been out for a while and the plug-ins have been updated?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Generally speaking you should always wait a little before upgrading.

    But, most of the times when a new version comes out, your existing plugins will work just fine. WordPress 3.0 was a major release and a lot of plugins had to be updated to work correctly, so i would recommend to wait a little when this version came out.

    But its about time to upgrade! We are on 3.0.1 now and you are 2 versions behind so i say, Enough with the waiting! :p Just do it already!

    Make sure to enjoy all the great features of 3.0 like the wp_nav_menu and other stuff 🙂

    Thanks for your reply! I like to have things as current as reasonably possible. Is there anyway to check if the plug-ins will work with the new version?

    Thanks again for any advice.
