Automatic Upgrade To WordPress 2.6.1
I’ve devoted my time migrating glitchline to wordpress. I could say that its ok at the moment although I still have things to do on that blog. Anyway, WordPress 2.6.1 is released, it has minor bug fixes but we can still enjoy wordpress 2.6 if we want.
2.6.1 offers several improvements for international users. Styling of the admin for right-to-left languages is much improved thanks to the efforts of the Farsi and Hebrew translation teams, and a mysterious gettext bug caused by certain PHP configurations is now fixed. For IIS users, 2.6.1 fixes several permalink problems. Image insertion problems in the Press This feature experienced by IE users are also fixed. Of note to everyone is a fix for a performance bug in the admin where those with a lot of plugins would experience slowness on some pages. -taken here.
I’m actually waiting for another updated wordpress version to test a plugin I installed two weeks ago. The said plugin, WordPress Automatic Upgrade 1.2.1 had various negative feedbacks but it is now fix on their latest version 1.2.1 released last July 18. It did wonders on upgrading my two blogs, hassle free.
Instead of seeing a display note “WordPress 2.6.1 is available! Please update now” on your wp admin panel, another bar below will display “Click Here to Automatically Upgrade WordPress to latest Version.” Its easy, no need to be a geek to upgrade a wordpress blog. Just click and follow the prompt, download database (for back up) if you want. WordPress Automatic Upgrade 1.3 will be coming soon especially now, a perfect combination for latest release of wordpress 2.6.1. Now, my addiction to upgrading my wordpress version is healed. LOL

the plugin looks great but I still go for wordpress update on fantastico
I haven’t installed the plug in for auto-update yet. I too have been following the feedback and am apprehensive about installing it. I wish WordPress would have its own internal auto-update feature.
I’ve been seeing that bar message but I kept ignoring it. I don’t really like the process of upgrading. Always getting scared that my website will get broken into pieces. You’ve encouraged me to give it a shot. Maybe I will come back to tell you how it went. Cheers.

Rhyan, There are some host that doesn’t have Fantastico like my host here. The best thing to do is by FTP or manually. The plugin suits best for non-tech users. Thanks for dropping by. Cheers.
PCGuy, I agree with the internal upgrade, no hassle, no more plugin and doesn’t need to be a techie to upgrade.
Naija Business, I’m sad to know that you had the headache on upgrading. I hope everything will be ok.
Great plugin! Now I can recommend non-tech friends to use fantastico and then upgrade using this plugin!
Thanks for sharing.
FYI, It doesn’t matter if we installed wordpress using fantastico. Its a wordpress plugin. My host didn’t have fantastico. Cheers.
