As you are probably aware if you are using WordPress to operate your blog, it’s not so easy to upgrade each new release and keep all the stuff you’ve already done, especially if you forgot what is in your wp-config.php file.
WPAU to the rescue!
After I finally figured out how to reset my admin password, as soon as I logged in there was a notice to upgrade to the latest WordPress version (2.5.1 as of this writing). Now I am generally pretty good at following directions, but I’d rather not if I don’t have to.
So I took the coward’s path and opted to get the wpau plugin and upload it to my WordPress wp-content > plugins folder on the server. I hold my breath when I try one of these things that I have no experience with, but this plugin worked great. I updated eMarketWorks to the latest release of WordPress with no trouble. So I didn’t set any breath-holding records this time. In fact, it was all over in about a minute.
If you are upgrading your WordPress installation, I recommend trying the WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin.
