Hey -
Thanks for this. So I can totally skip wp-content? Why does the Wordpress guide tell you to copy the contents of the folder over? Like you said, it’s plugins and themes and customizations. If you aren’t using one of the default themes that come with Wordpress you wouldn’t even be using the themes folder. I agree with you, I just worry a little, and wonder why they would tell me to copy the contents on the wordpress site.
thanks.

I was feeling like a daredevil so I used the automatic upgrade plugin! Worked like a charm :)

Thanks for this nice guide. I hate updating Wordpress manually :) and I’ve never used an automatic plugin before.

Well, nice post out there. I’m sure it will help many who have recently shifted to wordpress and have never done any update.
