2.6: Upgrade Tips and Recommendations

Don’t do it.

Quite simply, don’t upgrade TODAY if you don’t need it. Take the time instead to go through the process of creating a complete backup of your entire site, all code, the full database, and all plugins, in a manner that would allow you to restore your 2.5.1 or earlier setup without problems.

If you don’t desperately need the new features of 2.6, then wait until at least 2.6.1 before you upgrade, there has been no formal indication of any security issues with 2.5.1 that TPTM would care to discuss.

So seriously – WAIT.
