Upgraded to WordPress 2.8

I finally managed to upgrade to WordPress 2.8 yesterday. My first attempt to upgrade three days ago had failed due to lack of disk space, so I needed to upgrade my hosting plan first. Before, I used the cheapest hosting plan available at a local hosting company, with only US$5 per year I got 25MB disk space and 1Gb monthly bandwidth. Now after upgrade I have 100MB disk space with 4GB monthly bandwidth, it costs me about US$15 per year. It’s still cheap, I think.

Anyway, after upgrading my hosting plan I immediately upgraded my site to WordPress 2.8. Here’s what I did:

  • First, I deactivated all plugins at my WP dashboard
  • Second, I went to Control Panel and upgraded using Fantastico Deluxe
  • Lastly, I reactivated all of my plugins

That’s it, all done within minutes! That was my first time upgrade experience and I didn’t know it was so easy to be done. So far everything is going fine including my theme and plugins. I didn’t have to reinstall anything. Now that I have extra space left I may try to add some more plugins :)
