Wordpress 2.3.1 (Dexter) Upgrade
It was a great leap for me, I was using 2.2.2 version before I decided to upgrade to 2.3.1 version & I tell you, upgrading was not as easy as it used to be. I don’t know why my upgrade messud-up, it used to be just like a walk in the park. Good thing for me that I always do back-up of my SQL & the whole wp-content on my hard disk before I did the upgrade.
For those who are planning for an upgrade, you might want to consider the following:
- Back-up! Back-up! Back-up. Create a back-up of your SQL & files (images, etc..) that are not included in the common wordpress installation kit.
- Check if your current theme is compatible with this version, you don’t wanna mess-up your initial run.
- Make sure that all the plug-ins installed in your blog are Dexter friendly, 2 of my previous plug-ins f*cked up during the initial run!
You might also consider checking this forum entry, it deals with the “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 80000000 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 253742 bytes)” message that you might encouter after upgrading.
I hope that your upgrade will not be as messy as mine! Happy blogging everyone!
