When you log in to your WordPress admin area today at the top of the page you’ll see:
WordPress 2.7.1 is available! Please Update Now
Easy enough to deal with you’d think.
Just click the Please Update Now link and then the Upgrade Automatically button.
Or so you’d think.
I tried – saw it was unpacking.
Man, that thing must have been on a long holiday the amount of unpacking that seemed to be going on!
And then I strated to wonder. It clearly wasn’t doing anything.
After some deep thinking – yes I can do that sometimes – I realised that the WP Automatic Upgrade plugin I have installed and still activated must be causing a conflict.
Deactivating the old plugin did the trick and the WordPress 2.7 automatic upgrade that’s part of WordPress now did it’s job.
This time it was clearly just an overnight visit!

Wizzer
Blogging Beginners - What an endorsement for blogging instructions
I’m a shy bit behind and only at “Working With WordPress” videos but I’ll make a side note on this. I see an up-coming video, it looks like you may cover some of this in Wizzer’s Plugins Volume #2 32.51 MB
Man o Man there is a boat load of info. to get after at Blogging Beginners~Yikes!
I think in those videos I talk about using the WP Automatic Upgrade. The previous version of WordPress (the latest when I recorded the videos) didn’t have the automatic upgrade so a plugin was required.
So, you can skip the bit about Automatic Upgrade plugin when watching those videos.
There, the boat load got a little lighter!
And if you haven’t added the Automatic Upgrade plugin to your site yet. DON’T.
The developers have stopped supporting it since it is built into WordPress now and as Wizzer pointed out it will cause a conflict and neither will work. It will also affect the automatic plugin installation.
But I really need to talk to Wizzer about reading my blog because I posted this way back on 12 Dec 2008
Blogging Instructions – The Top Five Things You Need to Know To Blog
Oh. I do aplogise – I must have fallen asleep in amongst the techno babble
I knew you would know – that’s the problem with colleagues – they just don’t listen (or read!)
I had this same problem last night so decided to let it sit. So I I will go back in and deactivate and try again. Denise

So there’s another person who didn’t read Randy’s blog. Tut tut, he will NOT be pleased when he reads this!
Updated in seconds! Thanks, Denise

It took me longer than that to figure out what had happened – Should have gone to Randy’s site!
There’s no ice cream at Randy’s site…….. It’s hard to keep the concentration 100% with no snacks.
Denise’s last blog post..Container Gardening
I knew there had to be a perfectly sound reason!!
Wizzer is the social director and there by responsible for all snacks on all sites through out the Internet!
If there are no snacks on the How To Blog Site we must therefore blame Wizzer
I on the other hand provide the vegetables, you know the stuff that you might not like but is good for you.
What great analogy – vegetables & SEO // ice-cream & socialising!!!
My van got stuck in the snow and I couldn’t make my usually deliveries
And somebody has to make sure you have your vegetables. Can’t always be popcorn and ice cream
Popcorn is a vegetable.
And the van in snow???? I hope you had a small baggie to make ice cream with.
I will try to work through all posts, even without snacks…..

Yeah Randy – you reading that. So there! Huh! Ner, ner, ne, ner, ne.

Thanks for making a difference
