Thread: WordPress upgrade to 2.7

When ugrading to 2.7, it asks when it is only an upgrade(not the full installation method), it says delete all wp-files amd save the ones you have upgraded or want to keep. Now I have went to delete only the wp files, and I notice they are all wp files.

Code:

 <H2>Upgrading from any previous WordPress to 2.7:

Code:

Delete your old WP files, saving ones you've modified.
Upload the new files.
Point your browser to /wp-admin/upgrade.php.
You wanted more, perhaps? That's it!

Now their is 3 folders and the rest are php files. Is it the 3 folder we delete. I have not done anything with the original version, would I just delete the wp-config.php file in the new version, and upload the rest over top of it. Or what would I do?</H2>

Delete your old wp-includes and wp-admin directories.

I suggest you read teh WHOLE thing here..

http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress

Then you might get the correct information about what they are telling you to do and which wp files they are talking about.

The link has more of a defined instruction then the readme file on the new version. I going to give it a shot.

Thankyou once again Karen.

Cheers!

I wondering if somecould help me out with this. I followed instructions as stated above in the following link. I am recieving a line 6 error, here is the error as shown below;

Code:

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/usernamehere/public_html/blog/wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/usernamehere/public_html/blog/wp-admin/upgrade.php on line 6

Now shown below , on line 6, where would this error occur, I am lost, still learning this php lingo as i go along,

Code:

 <?php
define('WP_INSTALLING', true);
 
require('../wp-load.php');
timer_start();
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php');
 
if (isset($_GET['step']))
$step = (int) $_GET['step'];
else

Thankyou!

yeah you have to edit the config file to reflect your database name .. password and user name

Is their a way I could just load up the full install without upgrading, as have really no info in the old version, i could just delete it. Maybe create a data base and do it that way?

Whether you upgrade or install a new one.. you are still going to have to learn to congure the files..

I believe theres an addon that will upgrade for you from the control panel even.

No, their is not. I contacted supported and all they have is the link that directs you to the upgrade file for download that is in fantastico, and that is about it. That is ok.. I deleted wordpress, and went and switched to b2evolution, much better user friendly.

Cheers!

I didnt mean vodahost control panel.. I meant WORD PRESS control panel.
