WOW that was FAST! Thank you so much for posting this! Before I found this article, I was quite intimidated to upgrade my website. The instructions of other people seem so complicated. This is my first upgrade since my website is !fairly new. And you made it a whole lot easier! Keep it up!

Well, you have to turn off your plugins before the upgrading. or you may also use the WP auto upgrading plugin for this purpose. Hope this will work.

Well, wordpress 2.7 is the coolest version so far. I love auto upgrade and the plug-in installer is simply awesome. People will forget about FTP and cpanel file uploading if other CMS also adopt these features

GregR is absolutely right – make sure you turn off your plugins before the upgrade.

Believe me, I know….

I agree about the backup thing. I moved to 2.7 and ended up nearly imploding in plugin hell.
My recommendation is to disable plugins and make sure you have a backup.
Otherwise wordpress 2.7 is awesome blogging goodness.

The control panel in 2.7 is a big improvement over the previous versions. Beware though you have to turn off your plugins before updating, I updated one blog manually and it wiped the whole site out, just a white screen. If you have automatic update as long as you turn all the plugins off except the auto update plugin it updates nicely..
