    I’m trying to understand how to upgrade from 2.7.1 to 2.8.2 since it doesn’t work and the upgrade dont work automatically I have to do it manually.

    I already did backup the database and all the files from previous version that was online BUT my question is:

    I have to delete all the older Wp files and upload the new ones from the folrder wp 2.8.2
    ThEn which folders I have to re upload with my plugin ins, templates, photos etc?The whole Wp-content?

    Isn’t easier to delete from my server all the files But keep the wp-content instead and upload all new files wp 2.8.2 but without the wp-content?

    Thanks! ??

  • 1. Delete all files except the following:

    • wp-content directory
    • wp-config.php file
    • .htaccess file
    • and any non-WordPress files and folders you had put in.

    2. Upload all latest WordPress 2.8.2 package files including wp-content folder – that way the default theme and Akismet get updated.
    3. Go to yoursite/wp-admin/ and upgrade.

    S.K

    Automatic upgrade does not work on some servers (I still dont understand why). In any case, manuall upgrade is always suggested.

    Follow the steps provided by Kichu and then restore the wp-content folder..

    I got it and no probs…Since I’m on 1and1 I read in here to add this to the .htaccess file:

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

    Then it worked and upgraded automatically (finally!)

    I’ll keep in mind the instruction above to upgrade manually ext time tho, Thanks so much both of you! ??
