Before you update your Wordpress version

As we installed wordpress using our web host’s Fantastico, we also updated the wordpress via it. Along the way, we learn a few things and want to share it with you before you update your own wordpress blog

  1. Backup your Wordpress files and database
    You should do this consistantly even if you don’t update your wordpress version. You never know one fine day, you may lose your wordpress site
  2. Take note of files that you made changes to
    After the updates, we notice that our changes to our headers and some files are over-written by the original files. So always keep note of what changes made so that you can re-apply
  3. Check that plugins still work
    Some plugins might not work in the new version of wordpress. So check for new updates of plugins.

Happy blogging :D
