WordPress 2.0 Tuesday 2005-12-27
Yesterday the long awaited WP 2.0 was released and I’m trying to backup my database. It complains that the backup directory isn’t writable, and I don’t seem to be able to do anything about it. I’ve tried to make directories under wp-content writable but to no avail. Possibly I’ve succeeded to mess things up.
[Edit] I did it! I followed the very precise instructions for upgrading, althoug I already had the RC2 installed. I made a backup of my database with the backup plugin and a backup of all directories in my WP installation, disabled all plugins and deleted all files and directories except the wp-content directory and the wp-config.php config file. I then copied the wp 2.o distribution to my server blog directory. Finally I run the wp-admin/upgrade.php script from my browser. I checked my permalink structure and as I’m not using any .htacess file, it worked as before.
So now I’m off to check my plugins.

Finally I succeeded to make the directories writable and downloaded my backup to the local computer. All plugins deactivated and then a backup of all files.

I’ve activated the “Hello dolly” plugin and it works nicely. Likewise the comment preview plugin works like it should-
