Comments on: Plugins – are you upgrading them regularly?

Updating plug ins is easy, but on a couple of my blogs I have inactive plug ins and I get notices to update them as well. (They are inactive because of some conflict in the past.) Does it hurt anything to let them sit there? I presume not. Earl NetwalÂ´s last blog post..Home Staging: Why Market Maker?

Got another question for you Mike,

What if everything goes just fine with the upgrade, but once the upgrade is done you have conflicts with another plugin or the plugin just stops working with the theme you have?

How do you recover from this?

I realize that you could just un-install and re-install the old version back assuming you still have it available, but what if there is a lot of configuring that you have done with the plug-in. Do you lose all of that?

Thanks,

Brett McEllhiney

Mike, This us one reason why I like WP 2.7.1 so much. It makes it really easy to get you on the latest update. Great feature especially if you need to do this on many blogs and it is otherwise easy to get out of sync. Now you get warned on each blog as soon as you login.

Hey Mike...yes, the great thing about WP 2.7.1 is the auto upgrade feature with the plugins. Eliminates the time you used to have to take to go and find out if there were updates available.
