WordPress 2.3.3 on Yahoo Networks
March 3, 2008
For some time I have been trying to figure out how to successfully upgrade my Yahoo based blog from Word Press 2.0.2. After several attempts and a decision to transfer the domain I stumbled upon the upgrade method by chance. Here are the steps.
- First download your entire blog directory using and FTP client. I like WS-FTP except you have to pay for it. FileZilla, the best freebie is almost as powerful as WS-FTP, but it is free and much simpler to use unless you wish to have multiple FTP sessions going at once.
- Once downloaded delete everything in the blog directory on your domain. Do not delete the blog directory itself.
- While deleting which may take a while if your blog was big, download and extract the latest copy of WordPress.
- Once the deletion is over reset your blog update controls on the blog manager page to manual.
- FTP everything in the WordPress directory to your blog directory
- Upload your old blogs wp-config.php back to your blog directory.
- Load your blog page and it will automatically take you through the rest of the upgrade process.
- Happy blogging with all the new features and all your old posts.
