Filed in: wordpress - Friday, October 2nd, 2009 at 5:43 pm

After moving from Asmallorange to exabytes hosting, i cannot upgrade all my plugins and can’t upgrade my wordpress to the latest version 2.8.4

I have search through everywhere but couldn’t find the solution to this problem.

I have tried downloading core control and edit .htaccess but failed.

Finally i solved it !

1. Always backup your database and also your files / folder.
2. Delete your old wp-includes and wp-admin directories.
3. Upload the new wp-includes and wp-admin directories.
4. Upload and overwrite all the old files in the root, EXCEPT the wp-content folder and wp-config.php file. (I repeat DO NOT DELETE YOUR WP-CONTENT and WP-CONFIG.php file)
5. Visit your main WordPress admin page at /wp-admin, login and it leads you to an upgrade page, click upgrade and follow instruction.
