A WordPress plugin that will make you happy!
Written by Malin on September 4, 2007 – 5:24 pm -There is a WordPress plugin out there that is called InstantUpgrade. When it first came out I was a bit suspicious, I thought that it probably wouldn’t work and that it would ruin my WordPress installation. So I kept updating WordPress manually. The result of manually upgrading is mostly sweat and tears.
What does it do?
The InstantUpgrade plugin downloads the latest WordPress version from the WordPress server and unpacks it at your server.
I have changed my mind. Thank goodness for this plugin! I installed it on both my sites and upgraded them to version 2.2.2 with it. It worked like a charm. No sweat and tears! People, this is the plugin that will make you save time and sweat!
But remember, always do backups of both your files and databases just in case!

Any host running cpanel should have Fantastico as well. Fantastico also makes for a painless upgrade.

I wouldn’t recommend using Fantastico since it has gazillion exploits.

My question is, will it upgrade to 2.3 without my blog exploding and making me cry! xD
