The WP Subversion repository also wasn’t affected by the recent security exploit, so there may be a security advantage. You can easily switch from using the current release version to using the bleeding edge version, for instance to test out a release candidate. There are other benefits to using Subversion. It’s easiest to do if you’re either just setting up your blog or if you only have a couple of plugins or themes installed.

Update: Jonathan’s right, Subversion is a VERY easy way to update WordPress…once you’ve got it set up. You may want to test all this out on your local testing server beforehand. I’m sure it’s possible to write a script to do this for a whole bunch of installs at once if desired.

Repeat the last two steps for each install you want to update.

rsync -avrz (update the remote folder with the local folder).

mv wordpress (rename the wordpress folder to the name of the folder your blog lives in on the server).

This post at was a good start, but this comment on the post, using rsync, sounded much easier. For some reason that worked just fine, maybe because then the relative paths worked?Īfter the recent flurry of WordPress upgrades I started looking for an easier way to upgrade. The install failed when I went to the install page through index.php, but I thought I’d try going directly to wp-admin/install.php before editing anything. First I tried installing without changing anything in wp-settings.php. There are actually a couple, but WP Mail SMTP is working for me.Īnother update: I just installed another instance of WP on the same IIS host and had a little different experience. Fortunately, there’s a plugin that lets you manually set WordPress to use an arbitrary SMTP server. I’d guess that the dear IIS host I’m working with has had issues with spam so they don’t allow PHP to send unauthorized mail. Update: I should have seen this coming based on what I saw browsing the forums earlier, but the admin emails from WordPress wouldn’t work out of the box.

Even better if that sanity check involved a form where one could hardcode in those problematic server variables. I don’t know how many people run into install issues, but if there are a lot maybe it’d make sense for WordPress to do some sort of post-install sanity check. I did end up having to delete the database tables for each install attempt. I changed the variable names in wp-settings.php to match my phpinfo() output and it worked. But my server’s variables weren’t named quite right for WordPress to suss out the variables it wanted. Apparently IIS/PHP doesn’t set some of the variables that WordPress wants, so WordPress attempts to create those variables, based on variables it supposes IIS/PHP ought to set. So, I looked at my sorry IIS server’s phpinfo() output, which revealed some obvious problems with my wp-settings.php. I thought maybe the fixes I found were specific IIS server setups, but not necessarily mine. I tried a couple, involving editing wp-settings.php, but without effect. A bunch of browsing of the WordPress forums revealed widespread IIS problems and a few proposed solutions. The internal links were also all messed up, with “?step=2” thrown in instead of the folder name where I’d installed the blog. Browsing to the site, the text was all there, but clearly the style sheet hadn’t been loaded. In my case the install appeared to be working, but then looked like it’d failed on step 2. I’d heard it’s difficult to get WordPress working well on an IIS host but had never experienced it myself.
