Upgrade to WordPress 2.5

[ad#ad-2]
Just in case you have not upgraded to wordpress 2.5, the stable and public release is out and is quite something. As I mentioned in my previous post “WordPress 2.5-Step-by-Step upgrade Guide for Beginners“, please make sure to take a backup of your current wordpress.

As a decent upgrade tool (Just in case you don’t want to flirt with your directory structure on your FTP), you could use InstantUpgrade plugin. This plugin is in Beta, so please use it at your own risk. Also, one bug that I found with the plugin is that even when you deactivate it (even remove it from your WP Plugin Directory), it doesn’t listen and tries to associate itself with the upgrade link in WordPress Dashboard.

The second drawback (for advance user) of the plugin is that it only allows you (by default unless you mention the version) to upgrade to the latest stable release. Doesn’t automatically upgrade to the beta or nightly builds. As, I promised, I’ll do a complete review of WordPress 2.5 on my other blog.
