總一味尋歡作樂升級Wordpress的現在
2008年2月8日 · 由大衛布雷得里
我最後升級了我的Sciencebase站點到Wordpress的最新的版本，它衰弱在版本2.1.3為太長期，并且有許多安全升級在那個遺產版本和最新版2.3.3之間。 它是崗位由韋恩・ Liew在聰明地名為的 韋恩Liew Dot-come 那說服我做必要。
Liew指出升級到Wordpress的較新版本可能幫助保護您的站點免受較小安全漏洞。 例如，簡單地需要最近2.3.2到2.3.3升級，因為它徊避登記的用戶能編輯其他用戶』崗位，不明顯地是一件好事的安全問題。 單一文件升級值得做，如果它防止亂砍您的站點的某人。
Liew強烈推薦使用Wordpress自動升級插入式(WPAU)，但我必須說它是以我調查多麼容易升級從這樣一個老版本手工會做或被自動化的驚恐。
我從1.5版本或thereabouts手工升級了并且發現它是相當痛苦的根據支持的文件，刪除老哪個不刪除，重新設置文件允許等等，因此我非常被誘惑使用WPAU的文件和文件夾，記住。
插入式在重新起動您的站點的Wordpress支持您的文件和數據庫，撤銷插入，下載Wordpress升級歸檔，安裝他們，恢復活動撤銷仅的那些插入，清掃臨時文件和點您到最後的「數據庫升級」鏈接。
這一個快的技巧為想要的那些升級-首先嘗試WPAU在一個更小，較不重要站點。 如果它全部運作完全那麼它在您的主位置將給您信心承擔自動化的升級。
技巧明顯地只申請，如果您有超過一個站點，并且，如果他們中的一個比其他是較不重要對您。 更小的站點的我成功的升級(雖然只跳躍從2.3.2到2.3.3)說服了我和，因此我承擔了升級Sciencebase WPAU。
當然，如果您是在一個主人與Fantastico系統您自動化被建立的Wordpress升級in。 唯一的問題是Fantastico通常滯後後邊新發行(在文字，它之時在2.3.2，實際上坐)
無論如何， WPAU完全運作，首次，是驚人的安心。 However, having been using a 2.1.5 widgetized system the final result was a messed up sidebar that took a few little tweaks to fix (some widgets were missing and others were in the incorrect order, although that may have been down to caching problems rather than the upgrade itself).
However, one or two plugins simply failed to run in the latest version (Top Posts by Category and Get Recent Comments, for instance). I removed these altogether pending the release of compatible updates. Other than that I’ve had no problems. Several other plugins were flagged as requiring upgrades, and these were duly done. If you happen to visit Sciencebase.com and spot any problems I’ve not seen, perhaps you could let me know.

Thank you for well-timed prompt! I’ll update my wordpress-based photoblog today.

Although Sig Figs was at version 2.3.2 of Wordpress and it would have been simpler just to download the single file update required to take it to 2.3.3, I thought I’d better stand by my assertions in this post and use WPAU. It worked (eventually). I had to do several page refreshes during the automated update. And, although everything was fine in the end, I can see that some users might panic and think they’ve trashed their site when they see blank screens. Don’t panic. Just do a full refresh of the page at whatever stage it stalls at, and repeat until you get the link to move on to the next step.

David,
I was glad to hear your good news about upgrading WordPress with this plugin. Like you, I was very concerned about upgrading. I used the plugin, and it worked, but I could not download the backup files.
While I’m glad the upgrade worked (at least I think it worked! I’m still checking the pages), I was very disappointed that it did not allow me to download the backup files.
Each time I tried to download, all I got was a page not found error. I checked the files online to see if they were on my site, but couldn’t find the backup files. All I found in the wpau-backup folder were an empty index.php and an empty index.html file, with no content.

Deborah, if it worked, then it doesn’t matter about the backup files (this time). Next time do a manual backup before you run the plugin, just in case the same thing happens again. Your blog is definitely showing the latest version, right?

Wordpress version 2.5 is on its way. In fact, you can trial it now http://wp.chrisjohnston.org/?p=3

Hi David,
Being the cautious person I am, I did do a backup before I ran the plugin. I was glad it worked! But a bit concerned that the plugin’s backup didn’t work.
Yes, the site I used this on has been updated correctly and is showing the most recent version.

Deborah, it worked fine on the various blogs I ran it on. I guess we’ll never know why you couldn’t get the backups within the plugin itself…
…as with all plugins there could be a conflict with another plugin. Maybe the way to do it next time would be to deactivate all plugins manually except WPUA, and then reactivate once everything is complete. I realize that’s starting to negate some of the benefits of WPUA, but it would still make the upgrade process simpler than a total manual upgrade.

Brian,
Good suggestion. I’ll turn off the plugins the next time, before I use the upgrade plugin. Hopefully I’ll remember to come back and report if it worked any better!

Deborah…who’s Brian?
Yes, please do, this is likely to be an ongoing thread especially as Wordpress 2.5 is on its way next month.

Hi David,
Not sure where I found the name David. My apologies!
I read a review of WordPress 2.5 earlier today. If this gets through (I wasn’t sure if you accepted urls in your comments) - here’s the site:

Well as most Wordpress bloggers will know by now, the program has reached version 2.5 and it’s soooo much slicker and better than the previous versions, so now really is the time to upgrade. Double check your backups, make sure you know which plugins will fail and take the plunge!

Hi David,
Thanks for your detailed post on the importance of upgrading wordpress.
I must admit I was lagging with my upgrades & was very wary about doing it. Thankfully all went well. Haven’t taken the jump to 2.5 as yet.
I’d also heard about deactivating your plugins before upgrading even with the WPAU. I have noticed that a link has appeared informing me there is an upgrade.

Deactivating plugins is an essential, but with WPAU it reactivates only those that were active before the upgrade so any disabled plugins that happen to be in your folder don’t get inadvertently started. Jump to 2.5, security and features make it a must. 2.6 is on its way soon, though…
