The things which i hate the most in blogging is upgrading worpdress. If it was all about downloading the update, there wouldn’t be any problem. But the thing is that you have to upload all the files again, disable plugins etc and there is a possibility that you can mess up your blog if you dont do everything properly.

I was searching if there is anything which can upgrade Wordpress automatically and then i came across Wordpress Automatic Upgrade Plugin. Well as the name suggests, it downloads and upgrades your wordpress blog automatically without any problem. It upgrades your blog by doing the following steps.

1. Backs up the files and makes available a link to download it.
2. Backs up the database and makes available a link to download it.
3. Downloads the latest files and unzips it.
4. Puts the site in maintenance mode.
5. De-activates all active plugins and remembers it.
6. Upgrades wordpress files.
7. Gives you a link that will open in a new window to upgrade installation.
8. Re-activates the plugins.

The best thing about this plugin is that it can run in an automated mode as well where you dont have to click any link to upgrade your wordpress. It will do everything automatically as soon as a new version comes out. Just download the plugin, upload it and activate from plugins menu.
