OK, I’ve moved the site to the new version of WordPress, version 2.5.1 WordPress publishs great instructions in thier Codex, so I recommend you read their instructions. In a nutshell, the steps are:

• Backup all your files to your PC
• Download the Updated version
• Disable all Plug-ins
• Delete the WP files on the server, except wp-config.php and the wp-content folder
• Upload the new version to the server
• Run the Upgrade script in the wp-admin folder
• Check the site for basic functionality
• Reactive Plug-ins

All in all,  my upgrade went smooth.   I had to down new versions of several plugins.   I’m still troubleshooting one plug for my sitemap.  It is giving me an PHP error when I try to activate it.  It may be an issue with the version of PHP that my hosting service has.

Before upgrading to WordPress’s new version,  I decided to chase down some issues with my hosting account.   iPower is transitioning to new servers, and in some cases, the site-owners need to do some tweaks to get the site moved.  So I spent some time on the phone with tech-support, and have moved the site over to the new server.  iPower is updating DNS records now.  If you are seeing this article,  your DNS is resolving www.noyes-tech.com to the new server.   

During testing,  I see that I will have to do some cleanup on some old posts.  I’ll probably wait until the DNS records propagate, so my editor will work properly.

Wordpress has recently released version 2.5.1  Over the next day or so,  I will be upgrading www.noyes-tech.com to the new version.  This may affect the site’s availability or the look and feel of the site.  I appreciate your understanding during this time.
