Upgrading to 1.5.1.2

Overwriting is a bad thing. Deleting the old one first and replacing that way is okay though.

If I’m upgrading from 1.5.1 to 1.5.1.2., do I need to run the upgrade script?

It’s always a wise thing to do ??

What exactly is the purpose of the Upgrade script?

It upgrades the database in case changes need to be made to the database structure or content.

So what is this upgrade script?

I did the manual upgrade (changed the line in the file).

So what is this upgrade script?

/wp-admin/upgrade.php

It upgrades the database in case changes need to be made to the database structure or content.

wp-admin/upgrade.php

Considering the extremely minor changes from 1.5.1.1 to 1.5.1.2, my opinion is it really doesn’t need to be run. If upgrading from any other version, however, that would be a smart move.

Okay, that’s what I was a’thinking.

Any idea how to update the version info at the bottom of the admin screens? I looked at the wp-admin/admin-footer but it didn’t help much (calls on the bloginfo(version) )

@holyroller, just update the file wp-includes/version.php

never looked there!

duh!

That was like, so easy. Sheesh. Thanks!

Podz effectively says that the wp-admin folder did not change from 1.5 to 1.5.1, so don’t update it.

But in this post:

ryan says that there are changes in the wp-admin folder. So — can anyone offer descriptive 1.5.1.2 upgrade instructions a la

There were some /wp-admin/ changes from v1.5 to v1.5.1. It’s best to follow the upgrade instructions here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/33189#post-187724

Thanks macmanx.
