I’d heard from people that the WordPress upgrade process was ‘a pain’, so I resisted doing it for as long as I could, even though I knew I was leaving this site vulnerable to whatever exploits had already been identified. Last week I knew I had to bite the bullet and upgrade, so I set aside plenty of time and began the long arduous process, which I’ll outline for you here.
Yes, it really was that simple. In the space of 20 minutes I upgraded 4 blogs, each of which had started with a different version of WordPress, and each of which upgraded with no problems. So if you’re looking to upgrade your WordPress installation to the latest version (currently 2.5.1), make sure to do it with this plugin (which is actually recommended by WordPress as the way to go).

Great post! Love the information
Thanks for the tip. I’m still avoiding the upgrade, but I’m hoping to get to it this weekend.
Upgrading wordpress blog’s is a painstaking process. I’ve never heard of this plugin but come to think of it, I have nothing to lose trying it out. I’m growing really tired of upgrading my blogs the minute a new version of WP comes.
I installed this Plugin last week, upgrade was smooth, without any problem. This Plugin is a must have for WP-Bloggers.
All my best
