 * If you have customized the default or classic wordpress themes then when your
   uploading the new version just skip the wp-content/themes folder and it won’t
   overwrite your customizations but then you might run into the fact that you’ll
   have to fix problems when wordpress updates some of the template tags. If it’s
   not the default of classic theme then your safe to upgrade as usual.

 * Thank you for your reply.
    Ok, then with custom templates I will not have a fully
   protected and fixed WP (as the last stable)?

 * Usually the problems aren’t with the default themes, so you would have a safe
   install.
