@iceman9 — Godaddy is probably the best in the world for domain registration and management. I’ve never tried them for hosting, but I’ve heard not very good things about their hosting service from several people.

I offer hosting. If you’re interested, drop me a line.

@ Blogie

@iceman9 — That goes without saying. As with anything involving your blog’s settings, coding, etc., one must always test first. Still, it’s good that you mentioned this.

I’m fortunate to have a test bed server. I tested these scripts on that machine several times before doing the deed.

hmm… it would be better to beta test the upgrade before performing the said upgrades, because this might cause some unwanted errors that someone is not expecting, (did i do it right?)

Gotta try this! I really have trouble upgrading my wordpress blogs, especially when I haven’t learned about WPAU yet. Thanks for this.

@Kevin — Yeah, WPAU was buggy before. Pati ako tinamaan nyan once, but I don’t remember anymore kung ano’ng nangyari. Anyway, OK na man sya ngayon. Even Matt recommends it.

Each time I see the Upgrading message, the firs thing that pops out on my mind is..
YAHOO. NEW FEATURES, until I realized that it showed 2.6.5, an increment in the second decimal, and then suddenly I went.. OH NOH, JUST A BUG FIX..
I can’t wait for WP 2.7 and mass upgrade all those blogs, even those which I haven’t upgraded yet since 2.5 haha..

I tried the Automatic Upgrade plugin ones.
I won’t use it again, in short. natrauma naq ana.

@Winston — You actually have SSH enabled in your hosting account. You can access it via cpanel or you can use PuTTY, which is an excellent proggy for shell access.

@Paul — Yeah, only 5 WP files. Kaya man na sa scripting. Gawa ka!
