Arrow 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:
  1. Delete your old WP files, saving ones you've modified.
  2. Upload the new files.
  3. Point your browser to /wp-admin/upgrade.php.
  4. 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.

Lightbulb Re: WordPress upgrade to 2.7

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!
