So WordPress 2.3.3 is out. I used to hate updating as i didn’t really know how to use any shell commands. Anyway now i do know and its rather easy.
This is what i do, you can copy and paste these into PuTTY or whatever you are using.
First i change into the directory that the blog is in, mine is in a directory called blog. huhu.
1. wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
2. tar xfz latest.tar.gz
3. rm -rf ./wp-admin
4. rm -rf ./wp-includes
5. cd wordpress/
6. cp -rpf --reply=yes * ../
7. cd ..
8. rm -rf ./wordpress/
9. rm -f latest.tar.gz
Please note that step 6 actually has two – of them before reply, it doesn’t show for some reason.
easy. i know these or similar steps are everywhere on the net i just thought i’d post this here more for my own reference tbh.
