# Upgrading Using SVN (Subversion)

 * I’ve got roughly a dozen blogs I just set up to upgrade using SVN. The [instructions for doing so](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing/Updating_WordPress_with_Subversion),
   are excellent.
 * However, those instructions are all for blog installations that are not at the
   public_html root so, for that one on my domain, I am a bit nervous about using
   SVN.
 * I **think** the process for moving toward SVN on this blog should be:
 * 1. Delete all the core WP files in my current installation.
    2. Leave wp-config.
   php and .htaccess in place. 4. Leave all other non-WordPress files and folders
   in place. 3. Do a backup of wp-content. 4. Checkout WP 2.8 from the WordPress
   SVN server. 5. Restore my original wp-content folder.
 * If I follow the above, will future upgrades of this blog using SVN leave wp-content
   and all non-WordPress files and folders untouched?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Nevermind, I found a [pretty good article that answers my question](http://ckunte.com/archives/2008/03/upgrading-wordpress-with-svn).
 * I was pretty close to correct but please read the article if you have the same
   problem.
