WordPress Upgrade

Keeping your installation of WordPress up to date is important because it insures your website is not hacked through a known vulnerability in WordPress. If your WordPress installation has already been hacked we can clean it up and then upgrade it. In addition to making sure your website is secure, new releases of WordPress add new features and functionality. The current version of WordPress is 3.0.1. Starting with version 2.7, the updating portion, but not the backup portion, of upgrade has been automated and is easy to do. If you prefer not to upgrade it yourself, we can do it for you following the proper upgrade procedure:

  1. Backup the WordPress files and database
  2. Deactivate plugins
  3. Copy the new version of WordPress onto the website or in WordPress 2.7 and above use the built-in upgrade function
  4. Run WordPress upgrade program, if necessary
  5. Reactive plugins one-by-one

Depending on what version of WordPress is currently installed, a number of incremental upgrades must be made during the upgrade process due to changes that are made to WordPress database in certain versions. We will also upgrade any out of date plugins that are installed.

Once the upgrade has been completed, we test the website to insure the upgrade has not caused any issues. We can upgrade your WordPress installation in a few hours.

Starting with Wordpress 3.0, WordPress MU has been integrated into Wordpress and we can upgrade from that to the latest version of Wordpress.

While doing the upgrade we can alos set up an automated backup solution for you as well.
