Like my title above. I had my near death experience minutes ago. I’d shock, stunt and flat down then shock, stunt, woke up and alive.
It was my bravery act to try upgrading my Wordpress 2.1.3 to Wordpress 2.2. Mind you, I knew nuts on CPANEL and FTP and my wordpress set up was done by my friends’ {Cloudie} favor.
To be detail,
I’d saw my Wordpress Dashboard reminder and since i got nothing to write; I might as well go digg-in the upgrade.
I msn Cloudie and ask for her advise. She told me it was easy.
Just del WP from my server and FTP in the unzip new WP files.
Leaving wp-content folder out. {Don’t del this if you want your themes and plugins.}
Simple~
I immediately del my wp-admin folder and replace. After a few del and replace then only i realize i haven’t back-up my stuff. {shock} After I’d log in WP site to find solution, I’d found more DO NOT DEL files to be caution on.
Here is the 4 major steps MUST remember.
- Back up WP and everything in your server.
- Do not del these major three below;
- wp-content folder
- .htaccess
wp-config.php file
- Del the rest and upload the rest.
- Log in site admin and press upgrade.
(Check for more instruction at Wordpress.org)
What makes me heart attack?
I was careless, or maybe i was too panic to realize that i’d forgotten to upload some files to my server. My blog was down for a few minutes. I got panic, my mind went dizzy as i was t0o busy scolding myself for not backup before starting on anything unknown. I’d msn Cloudie again. I’d also msn Yen for comfort. To make me even more horrified when Yen told me my writing was gone.
Gone! Down to the drain, every last pieces of them.
I was devastated. Minutes later, Cloudie msn me back telling me my site looks ok. I got back to my own self and check in detail. Alas, i’ve found a few files weren’t there in my server.
When I’d uploaded. My site came out fine. Phew~
What an experience.

Yes, I sympathize with you. Any upgrade can be cause for heart failure.
I use WordPress Instant Upgrade, http://www.zirona.com/software/wordpress-instant-upgrade, and find it extremely helpful and it keeps my heart from blowing up

Excellent post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and looking to understand how to do it effectively - resources like this report are incredibly helpful. As our company is based within the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as properly, how you can show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case

This is a wonderful inspiring write-up.I am basically pleased with the good work.You set really beneficial information. Continue. Keep writing a blog. Looking to studying your next article.
I appreciate the insightful post. Thanks.
My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thank you
