Just upgraded WordPress to 2.5. My first impression is positive, the admin interface is a lot cleaner than before. Haven’t checked out everything yet since writing this post is literally the first thing I do after upgrading.
Upgrading is straight forward. This is what I’ve done.
- Database backup
- Files backup
- Deleted old files
- Uploaded new files
- Ran supplied upgrade script
- Uploaded backed up plugins and themes
As you see, easy. That’s one of the reasons WordPress is so popular. It just works.
