I just upgrade this blog to wordpress 2.5. Previously, If I were to upgrade my blog, I will upgrade it to my existing folder but this time I decide to upgrade it to new folder.

Others will have their own steps to upgrade, below are mine :

1. Export data from existing blog to XML File

Using export/import features in wordpress (ermm…need to create my existing blogroll manually.)

2. Upload wordpress-2.5.zip (together with my existing plugin and themes) and extract the file using cpanel to a new folder.

3. Famous 5-Minute Install

4. Import XML file from my new blog

5. Redirect old folder to new folder in .htaccess file

Redirect /myweblog http://www.arejae.com/blog

 

That’s it. Now I need to check what went missing.

updated : seems to be ok. except for recent comments count. it’s not tally. Kindly let me know if your hit any errors. thanks
