Thanks! This is something I was looking for. I have 11 Wordpress blogs to update to 2.1.3 and my web hosting account does not provide free upgrade service.

Thanks again.

Ooo, now this is pretty exciting. Obviously, not for people who have customized their source codes, but definately an essential for people running clean, unedited versions. I may have to give this a try.

I installed this plugin a while ago on my other weblog, and have it on my newest one now. And I must admit, I like the “dry-run” idea. I remember sitting at the computer at 2:30 am in the morning, after backing everything up wondering if when I clicked the button whether or not it was going to kick start the Apocolypse, and signal the end of the world as I knew it! I started to panic, woke up my wife, and had her hold my hand whilst I did it. And to my surprise it worked like a dream come true. This plugin is a MUST for those that are looking for an effortless way to upgrade without a tear shed.

BUT PLEASE! Back-up everything first! Even though it works like a champ, and I love it like no other, it can never hurt to keep that baby backed up just in case of the Apocolypse!

Good, what is the memory usage on the server, because my hosting limit it to 12MB. Is enough?

I thought you meant permissions only, but the entire thing via FTP can definitely make it easier. You wouldnâ€™t have to bother about permissions even then.

The problem is that for the FTPing we will have to use a library that works with raw FTP commands via fsockopen() in order to ensure the largest compatibility across servers (not everybody has PHP’s FTP extension installed). This makes it hard to implement fancy features, and it makes sense to reduce the use of FTPing to the neccessary parts.

I’m using the plugin and it took care of the jump to 2.1.2 and the latest 2.1.3, works like a charm, but I have to click TWO buttons, what’s up with that?! Seriously, I love it.

Great plugin find, Ajay. Alex, I can see why deactivating plugins would be prudent. I run my site on nightly builds and update every few weeks, once testing on my computer for a bit. I tried getting set with the build from 04/05/2007 and UTW threw out errors, which caused the site to be inaccessible via WP. I had to FTP in and rename the plugin to .phps to get the site to view. Deactivating this plugin would have allowed me access. When I tried to activate it, I would have been given the message that it could not be activated as it caused fatal errors (new cool feature in 2.2). So, this would be a good reason to disable the plugins on upgrade.

Thanks for making our work easier Alex!

First I want to thank you very much for reviewing this plugin, Ajay.

Funny thing, you write “Auto take care of the file permissions possibly via FTP “, while I actually ment to do the entire transfer via http://FTP. But thinking of it, it might really be easier to handle only the permissions via FTP . Gotta keep that in mind!

As for the deactivating of the plugins, I still wonder what the benefits are. Sure, it would be quite easy to implement a routine to deactivate all active plugins and reactivate them afterwards. However, if a plugin is broken with the new version, I think it doesn’t mattter whether you deactivated it before or not. You will get an error message either way. But if I hear good arguments in favour of that routine, I’ll of course include it.

Lazy: I would love to support this, and I even looked around for a solution, but there is no PHP client for subversion available, and the web svn at wordpress.org cannot be considered as a reliable interface for out purposes.

Well, if you can fall in love with a WP plugin this certainly must be it

A world where Wordpress updates itself as easily as Firefox is a happy little dream.
