WordPress 3.1.1

[Kimkia]

I have data backups emailed to me every week. Upgrading is great on new versions of WP, but I have had auto-update defeat me now and again. I'll try Mike's suggestions first next time, before doing it all manually.

Hi Jane,
which of Mike's suggestions are you refering to?

Hey, Andre,

Pretty sure it was this:

WordPress 3.1.1
WordPress was updated to 3.1.1 on April 5th. For more information read the news over on their site:

WordPress 3.1.1

Note: If you are unable to perform the auto-update, first remove the upgrade folder under wp-content (FTP). If it still a no-go, disable all plugins and run the auto-update. Once done, re-enable the plugins (recently activated plugins).

I'm running 3.2.1. now, in most cases, but had real issues on a couple of older sites that hadn't been updated in a while. Sometimes you have to go through a series of updates rather than leapfrog through a lot of them. Manual updates don't faze me any more though. I can usually wade through them ok; it's just time-consuming, and much better if you can just hit the button and be done.

Ok, so you're refering to WordPress specific backups.
We're not using that. Just PHP, and having some issues with the backups.
I have a temporary solution right now, but I'm still digging for something more permanent.
P.S. I looked for a while to find this avatar....
It kind of seemed appropriate.
Take care.
