Hi Kim,
I must say this guide was excellent for everyone. You give detailed instructions and security notices that everyone would love to know.
I haven’t done a manual upgrade to my site yet so this was really helpful, (always is a first time to do things :D ) so thanks for this.
Regards, Altin

Thanks, this came in very handy. I thought I had corrupted my files and required a manual install! Very easy to follow guide!

Much appreciated.

Regards,
Alan

Hi Kim :)

I have been hacked and it seems my user/admin/email has been deleted so I cannot get into my blog in the first place. I am terrified that the hack will continue and get everything. So far my posts, archives, and categories are gone – but everything else remains.

I would like to upgrade manually – but when I am asked to login – I will not be able to. I need to get in somehow and add myself back as as the real admin/user etc. and delete all the other users/registrants ….and then figure out how to clean up this hack. I know I need to upgrade and then compare the code to the original code – removing the hacker code – but am a little scared to do this etc… is there anyway you can help? Or at least get me back as admin so I can start this long journey of fixing my blog?

THank you so much – Rosie….:)

[...] Also, this week I was able to manually upgrade my Wordpress to version 2.8.4, the newest version. There were alerts about security problems with the previous version and the automatic upgrade plug-in was not working for me. I was able to manually upgrade using understandable and simple step-by-step instructions from (Anti)Social Development. [...]

Hi Adi – I’m really glad that my guide worked for you when the auto-upgrade didn’t :-)

Thanks Kim.
I’ve try the automatic update and fails.
Then I ask google and find your site, and it works like a charm.
Now I have WP 2.8.3 engine! Great!
