Knowing My Blog - Create Your Blog with WordPress

Every time a new version of WordPress, our panel will not be notified through an announcement that a new version available for update.

It may appear like this: "WordPress 2.8.4 is out! Please update your blog. "

” y nos aparecerá una pantalla como veremos en la siguiente imágen : If we upgrade our current version of the new available, we can press the link you see there, or we can go to the " Tools "and select" Update "and we'll see a screen like the following image :

As stated there, you should make a backup of our site to avoid problems at the time of making such changes. ” en nuestro ordenador, el que luego deberemos descomprimir ya través de nuestro programa FTP deberemos cargar los archivos a nuestro sitio reemplazando los anteriores. If you wish, you can download the latest version by pressing the button "Download 2.8.4" and so will download a file. "Zip" on our computer, which then we unzip and through our program we FTP upload files to our site replacing the above.

debemos modificar la carpeta { WP-CONTEN } dado que allí se aloja toda la información que hemos cargado y utilizamos a diario en nuestro blog. Warning: "So much for uploading new files to upload old files to modify our site structurally, we NEVER modify the folder WP-CONTEN {} because there are houses all the information we have loaded and use daily on our blog. This means that if we want to load a new version of WordPress replacing existing files, we must avoid touching that folder. "

Another way to perform this process, pressing the "Update automatically" and WordPress will do the upgrade for us.

It happens that we update our site, and we find that not all features of our blog work well, or not all options are available. This is because new versions out in rapid succession to one another, and fail to work as expected. Then, we return to the previous version that we worked very well. To do this, we replace all the files from our site "except WP-CONTENT folder" by the files for the version that we were using. Thus, we returned to our control panel before and everyone happy.

Personally I always recommend having the latest version in Castilian for our blog because, to have the latest update in Castilian, we know that our blog will work in perfect condition. Not so the later, because not all are 100% effective when working. This means that we may have drawbacks in some functions, and perhaps many do not. That is why one should always keep in mind that if there is a final Spanish version, it works great.
