A necessary upgrade of my wordpress blog was long due. And so was the default theme that looked so 2004. While the previous upgrades till 2.7 was smooth, this one (version 2.8) needed a bit of manual effort. After backing up the database and code I followed the instructions as given here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended
The primary trick was to keep
wp-config.php
from the previous installation. The new codebase came with a
wp-config-sample.php
so there was no overwriting. After that I hunted for a cool theme and could not be happier with “Fusion”.
Wordpress rocks.
