Wordpress 2.5 Upgrade time

view a random?

It seems to be time to start the upgrade process. And it will be painful, I’ve got a stack of plugins, some probably will not even be compatible in Wordpress 2.5.

So here is my plan:

  1. Install Wordpress 2.5 in a new directory (i.e. /nzfusion/test_blog/) with a new database
  2. Install the plugins
  3. Export the SQL data from the old blog
  4. Import the data into the temp blog
  5. Move the directory of the old blog (i.e. /nzfusion/old_blog/)
  6. Move the directory of the new blog so it appears here

This process will provide a very small downtime and any issues will be uncovered while the blog is in the temp location. I’ll let you know how it goes.
