Automatic Beats Stick Shift Upgrade自动节拍坚持转变升级

I’ve discussed the need to我已经讨论了需要 upgrade Wordpress to the latest version WordPress的升级到最新版本 before, and have run through my positive experiences with the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin.之前，并贯穿我国积极的经验与WordPress的自动升级插件。 However, not everyone is so keen on the idea of automating such an important aspect of their blog maintenance.然而，不是每个人都热衷于这样的想法，这种自动化的一个重要方面，维护他们的博客。 Kim Woodbridge on (Anti)Social Development, for instance, prefers to have total control over upgrades and provides her readers with an excellent tutorial (23 steps) on how to do a金伍德布里奇的（反）社会发展，例如，喜欢完全控制了升级和她的读者提供了一个极好的教程（ 23级）就如何做 manual Wordpress upgrade WordPress的升级手册 . 。

However, I stand by my thoughts on但是，我坚持我的想法 WPAU , it’s just so slick and does all the pre-upgrade backups, disables plugins temporarily, downloads the upgrade files, puts your blog into maintenance mode, installs Wordpress, then re-enables plugins and fires up your blog…automatically, with little intervention. ，只是如此光滑，而且所有的升级前的备份，暂时禁用插件，下载升级文件，使您的博客到维护模式，安装WordPress的，然后重新启用插件和火灾了您的博客...自动，几乎没有干预。

Maybe I shouldn’t tempt fate, but I’ve never had any serious problems using WPAU to upgrade a blog and I’ve done dozens of upgrades with it so far.也许我不应该诱惑的命运，但我从来没有使用的严重问题WPAU升级博客和我做几十个与它的升级迄今。 Indeed, the first upgrade I did using WPAU was to take my main blog from version a version 1.x to a version 2.x and it worked first time.事实上，第一次升级我没有使用WPAU是我的主博客从版本一个版本1.x的版本2.x和它第一次。 There was not a single glitch.有没有一个单一的故障。 All plugins were reactivated perfectly.所有插件被重新完美。 The only minor thing I had to tweak was to change the PHP call in one widget that had been rendered incompatible, but that would have happened with a manual upgrade too.唯一的小事情我不得不调整是改变的PHP呼吁在一个精灵，已经变得不兼容，但会发生与手动升级了。

That said, other sites I have done upgrades from the same version cluster 2.x to 2.y where the WPAU plugin did not work first time.话虽如此，其他网站我已经做升级相同的版本为2.x的集群2.y在WPAU插件没有工作的第一次。 However, there is no need to panic if it fails.但是，有没有必要惊慌，如果失败。 Simply run its inbuilt cleanup to sweep away problem files, and run it again.只要运行其内在的清理扫除问题的文件，并运行它一次。 It might fail a second or even third time (I had that happen on a minor upgrade on what is an apparently unstable host).它可能会失败，第二次甚至第三次（我有这种情况发生了轻微的升级是一个显然是不稳定的主机） 。 Eventually, it will work through the process and you will end up with the latest version installed and operational.最后，将通过这一进程，你最终将使用最新版本安装并投入使用。 Even having to try it three times is quicker than downloading, unzipping, and replacing using FTP or some other legacy method.即使不得不尝试三次是快下载，解压，并取代使用FTP或其他一些传统的方法。

As with manual installation, I have full control over when the upgrade happens, it’s not like opting for an automatic over stick shift, it’s more like using quickdial memory buttons on your phone instead of tapping in the complete number every time.至于手动安装，我有充分的控制权升级时发生的，它不喜欢选择的自动对坚持转变，这更像使用quickdial记忆按钮，您的手机不是利用在完成每一次人数。 I can choose whether to upgrade or not, there is not behind-the-scenes upgrading.我可以选择是否升级或不是，有没有幕后升级。 And, when you’re not upgrading you can deactivate WPAU it until it is needed again.此外，当你不升级，您可以停用WPAU它，直到它再次需要。

One word of warning.一个字的预警时间。 Backup.备份。 When you make any major changes to your blog, always backup your database first, there’s even an当您作出任何重大改变，您的博客，总是备份您的资料库第一，甚至一个 automatic plugin自动插件 to do that too.这样做了。 And remember to check in your rearview mirror before you pull away whether you’re an automatic or a stick shift upgrader.并记住查看后视镜，然后拉开了距离，无论是自动还是坚持转变upgrader 。
