Yep,, I’ve been stupid,, there are ways to do this stuff (upgrade wordpress) easily. Stupid, silly me.

Here’s the answer,, click here.

Upgrade wordpress with the wordpress automatic upgrade plugin!

It’s pretty darn easy (I sure wish I’d found this,, oh about 2 MONTHS AGO!)

Follow their directions, they’re really straightforward,, but just in case, here they are (I recommend using the automated style, since,, well, its automated, and I’m a nincompoop!)

Here they are!

WordPress automatic upgrade upgrades your wordpress installation by doing the following steps.

1. Backs up the files and makes available a link to download it.
2. Backs up the database and makes available a link to download it.
3. Downloads the latest files from http://wordpress.org/latest.zip and unzips it.
4. Puts the site in maintenance mode.
5. De-activates all active plugins and remembers it.
6. Upgrades wordpress files.
7. Gives you a link that will open in a new window to upgrade installation.
8. Re-activates the plugins.

The plugin can also can be run in a automated mode where in you do not have to click on any links to go to the next step.

Whee!! The interwebs work!
