What if WordPress 2.7 messes up my blog?

That has to be one of the biggest questions I get when people ask should they uipgrade their blog? I created a video to walk you through not only the upgrade process but how to undo it if your theme causes a problem.

The key is to make sure that you have backed things up FIRST.

You should back up your data base, wp-content folder and the wp-config.php.

The video is about 8 minutes long but with the pauses the whole process of upgrading and undoing it took less than 15 minutes.

Hope this helps you and shows you that IF you back up FIRST it is not a hard process to undo it if you need to.

I do recommend that you check your theme and plugin compatibility first and decide if you want to change them before upgrading if they are not compatible.

As always your questions and comments are welcomed.
