Found this really great plug-in!! What wordpress automatic upgrade does is simply awesome! Wordpress automatic upgrade:
1. Backs up the files and makes available a link to download it.
2. Backs up the database and makes available a link to download it.
3. Downloads the latest files from http://wordpress.org/latest.zip and unzips it.
4. Puts the site in maintenance mode.
5. De-activates all active plugins and remembers it.
6. Upgrades wordpress files.
7. Gives you a link that will open in a new window to upgrade installation.
8. Re-activates the plugins.
I just tried it on one of my sites and in about 6 minutes (slow reader, I R) the upgrade was done. Not that the actual upgrade process is difficult, this plugin actually does all the dirty work for you. You don’t have to worry about backing up your content or plugins, you don’t even have to worry about backing up your database! No more frantic clicks and hairfall inducing tension-creating minutes! (ok, ok I will stop the sales pitch now!).
Get the plug-in here and do send a big thank you to the creator at: techie-buzz. I sure did.
