    Hi guys!

    I’ve an old version of wordpress installed… I’d like to migrate to latest version…

    Now I’ve an old 2.3.1 version…

    It’s simple? or not? Some tips?

    Due to some rather hefty database changes between 2.3.1 and 3.0.1, it’s recommended that you upgrade incrementally.

    The “semi-official” WordPress major upgrade path:

    1. Backup your files and database.

    2. Download WordPress 2.5.

    3. Do a manual upgrade to WordPress 2.5.

    4. Repeat step 1, but don’t replace the previous backup (keep both on hand).

    5. Download WordPress 2.7.

    6. Do a manual upgrade to WordPress 2.7.

    7. Repeat step 1, but don’t replace the previous backup (keep both on hand).

    8. Use WP’s automated upgrade to system to upgrade to 3.0.1.
