Upgraded to WordPress 2.0
So far so good…
If everything looks the same, then that’s a good thing. You shouldn’t notice any changes.
Here are the steps I took:
- Deactivated my plugins.
- Copied my old Wordpress directory down to my machine.
- Copied my old Wordpress directory into a new directory on the server.
- Backed up my blog database to a SQL script.
- Created a new database.
- Updated wp-config.php in my new Wordpress directory to point to this new database.
- Restored my old database over the new one I created in Step 4.
- Downloaded Wordpress 2 and follow instructions to delete files and copy over files.
- Run WordPress 2 upgrade script in new directory.
- Renamed my original Wordpress directory (which my domain points at) to something else.
- Renamed my new Wordpress directory to what my old Wordpress directory was called.
- Reactivated my plugins.
- Done.
Be sure to keep your backups!
