Well, I had the issue with having to upgrade the files of my blog manually. I placed a wishlist with the 2.5 Dev Team in the wish list to have it auto update as Fantastico is a bit slow in updating it’s files and stuff like that and by the time they updated, you have been hacked.

So, what to do unless you want to upload everything? They have this little plugin that does auto updates. It is a small set of files and if you have many blogs like me (about 72 as of today), updating them manually is a hassle. This plugin auto updates it all for you, your files and stuff like that and backs everything up.

Oh yeah. Pre 2.0 to 2.3.x needs a new database-table called Post2Cat so it does the auto updates , which is somewhat an addon to the Tags and auto save function. You will need to add that table in manually thru your SQL.

Anyway, it’s a cool feature to have in your back end, saves alot of hassle of over writing files and stuff like that. Making sure you don’t accidentally delete the wrong one is a nightmare. So, use it..it’s plain simple.

Chao! (and let me know how U find it)
PS: download the plugin, decompress and upload everything to your wp-content/plugins folder. The need of an FTP software (or even in Explorer) is needed.
