I’ve just upgraded the site to use the new WordPress 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Everything seems to have gone smoothly, although i took a slightly different route to the upgrade than they recommend in their documents.<\/p>\n

The only thing i did differently was to upload the new version to its own directory (choronzon2), then I copied the plugins and the theme from the old version into the correct places in the new version.<\/p>\n

I did this so that I would have a quick escape route back to the old version should anything go wrong. (Of course, I backed up *everything* first). To backup the database I used MySql admin running locally and connected to the remote database rather than installing PhpMyAdmin <\/a>just for backing up..although PhpMyAdmin is a great tool if you have more involved database management needs.<\/p>\n

I dont have a huge amount of plugins running and I had already tested them with a local installation of V2 on my home computer. (I use broobles simple tags plugin<\/a> for generating [tag]technorati[\/tag] tags and my own del.icio.us link generating plugin)<\/p>\n

Once I had uploaded all the necessary files the upgrade process itself was incredibly easy (like installing wordpress, but with even less to do).<\/p>\n

All that was left was to rename the original directory to choronzon-old and rename the new directory to put it in the right place.<\/p>\n

Easy.<\/p>\n

If you are wondering about making the move from an earlier version of wordpress I can definitely recommend it if you want to take advantage of the new features. I decided to upgrade because I much prefer the post \/ page editor in the new version. Having a window to edit the actual HTML is vital when entering pages with a lot of content so I can avoid the auto-formatting process that wordpress applies to the content.<\/p>\n
