This was a very useful video because it covers the AUTOMATIC upgrade function. A significant percentage of the tutorials, blog entries and other material in the WordPress codex and help pages only cover the manual procedures, which may be daunting for some “non-geeks” — and even for some very computer savvy folks who just don’t want to take a chance with a manual upgrade.

Thanks for this information.

Your best bet for getting some help is to check either the Artisteer forums or the WordPress.org support forums for help with making adjustments to your theme files.

I would love to use this comments template in my wordpress blog, can you give me an example of how you did this. I am having a hard time finding out the best way of editing my style.css and comments.php file to get the comments the way I want after creating a theme using artisteer.

Hi there,
I upgraded and it seemed to be no problem. I have about 30 plugins. I reactivated half of them one by one. But then I got to a point where I can not activate the other 14 plugins. I am getting the following error message everywhere on my admin page under wordpress….

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home2/greatmlm/public_html/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 122

What happened ?

When I click “Upgrade WordPress Automatically”, the screen is stuck with “Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.zip” message and doesn’t do anything.
My current version is 2.7.1

Any tips on what I’m doing wrong.

Don’t hold off. On the blog I updated, I have 35 plugins. I have upgraded 3 of my blogs in the last week and had 0% problems.

1. Read the directions
2. Make a backup
3. Check your backup
4. Ask your host for help if something goes wrong
5. Visit the WordPress forums if you need help

Most people will not have any problems upgrading their WordPress blog if they follow these best practice steps.

In Firefox, have you gone under View > Zoom > Reset to make sure you didn’t change the font size in Firefox?

If it’s asking you for the hostname, username and password, it sounds like WordPress can’t find the wp-config.php file. That file holds all the info to connect your WordPress install to the database.

Did you use the instructions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress or just click “upgrade” without backing up?

You can view your wp-config.php file by connecting to your WordPress install with a FTP client like Filezilla and choosing “Edit”.

The other thing I recommend people do is when they setup WordPress to document their database name, database user, database password, domain name, etc so they have all this info in case a problem occurs.
