Okay, so I wrote that using the WordPress Automatic Update plugin was great and the upgrade went smoothly and everything was wonderful.
Well it wasn’t.
Thank goodness I had backups.
When I published a post using WordPress 2.6 my screen went totally white. Same thing for the other blog that I upgraded to 2.6.
So, what do I learn from this?
Restoring a database from cPanel went very smoothly. This was my first experience having to do this and the thought of it had always made me very nervous. Not anymore.
I’m pretty sure the blank screen problem lies with WP 2.6 and not with the plugin. I say that because the upgrade was fine with the plugin before I made the post. Then the problems started. Same thing with both blogs.
I recommend the plugin at this point, but not WordPress 2.6. I had heard it was a minor upgrade and 2.5.1 seemed pretty stable so I expected a smooth ride. Silly me for not waiting for all the bugs to be worked out first, like I usually do.
Oh well, enough about all this. If this experience helps anyone else out, I’m glad.
