I know this has been posted on john chow recently but I wanted to let everyone know about it also and advise that I’ve used it and it works really well! I know when the wordpress update to 2.2 came out I meant to upgrade but never got round to it because it sounded like a lot of work and I didn’t want to mess anything up. Techie Buzz has released a plugin that will upgrade your blog automatically to the latest version of wordpress. This plugin really impressed me all you have to do is download > extract > upload > activate! Then your running the new version of wordpress within like 1 minute or somthing!

Here is what WPAU does;

1. Backs up the files and makes available a link to download it.
2. Backs up the database and makes available a link to download it.
3. Downloads the latest files from http://wordpress.org/latest.zip and unzips it.
4. Puts the site in maintenance mode.
5. De-activates all active plugins and remembers it.
6. Upgrades wordpress files.
7. Gives you a link that will open in a new window to upgrade installation.
8. Re-activates the plugins.

The plugin can also can be run in a automated mode where in you do not have to click on any links to go to the next step.

Download it here.
