Wordpress 2.5 automatic upgrade through the plugin is a fraud. Dont fall for it. Actually looking at some of other posts here, entire 2.5 release is a fraud.

I am facing the exact same problem as “Takeabreak” and “c0y0te”, static pages do not appear and the dreaded 404 error is seen all around. Forums are useless as well.

Good sense prevailed and I went back to what I was running.

I used the automatic update plugin and all went well except now I get a STALLED script when trying to start a new post.

I also think this is affecting my CPU usage on my host. My site had to be shutdown a few times because I was exceeding 25% on a shared server. That is nuts seeing as I have a small site.

might have to do a clean install manually.

I mentioned before that I had a staging site. Some people asked me what I did to setup a staging site, so I decided to create a post/checklist, http://omninoggin.com/2008/04/.....r-testing/. For those of you who have many plugins and are not sure if you want to upgrade to 2.5 because of compatibility issues, you can follow these relatively easy steps to create a testing site and try out 2.5 before you upgrade your production blog.

Takeabreak: I could try to help if you use the contact me form on the menu above and send me some information on the exact problem. The Wordpress.org Forums are also a good place to find some help.

When I initially installed wordpress, it was through GoDaddy, so it was an auto install. They don’t release updates real quick, so I tried my hand at upgrading following the guide. Real easy, with no problems at all. It was almost fun!

Most people don’t have shell access on their machines and, even if they did, wouldn’t have the requisite knowledge to update a WordPress install accordingly. While there are quite a few bloggers versed enough with systems to do such a thing, most people will not have had the need to learn such techniques.

I upgrade wordpress using the SHELL prompt. subversion sucks, I use a simple shell script. I was going to post how I do it, but your comment system keeps telling me I’m sending spam, so I can’t post how I do it, but my method works in less then 5 minutes from a shell prompt, I don’t know why you guys make upgrading wordpress so complicated.

I used the wordpress automatic upgrade plugin and it worked wonderfully. I couldn’t be happier. Only one tiny problem, I can’t post to twitter from my dashboard any more. I’ll fix that later.

I upgraded my site without deactivating my plugins. Does that cause any damage? If so, how can I fix it? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this information. I must confess that I have been scared of upgrading. The official Step-by-step guide provided for upgrading did not in alliviating my fear. It actually got me more scared. Reading peoples weird experiences all over the internet actually added to it. I told myself, I will not upgrade until I have learnt all I can from others mistakes.
Well, I do not need to wait any longer. The Automatic Upgrade Plugin you recommended was used by the last commenter to this post. So, I am going to try it out. Cheers.
