I’ve got heavily modified themes running on all of my sites (all WP) and I’ve used the Fantastico update each time. It’s always worked, except when I was using a 1.5 compatible theme and updated to 2.0.

For Wordpress, you’ll need to download it from the wordpress site here http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress and follow the directions on how to upgrade the installation.

If SMF says only manual upgrade possible, it means your install is too far behind to be done by Fantastico anymore. You’ll need to upgrade it manually, and you’ll be able to get the latest version on their site.

I am told that I need to upgrade Wordpress to 2.5.1, SMF to 1.1.5 and coppermine to 1.4.18.

For Wordpress, on clicking upgrade, I get the message:

“Click on Upgrade only if
- no files, languages, themes have been modified
- you haven’t added mods to this installation of WordPress”

Well, I have modified themes. How do I upgrade?

For SMF, I am told:

“Only manual upgrade possible”

How do I do this? Also, the version on the server is 1.1.4. How do I get 1.1.5 installed?

For coppermine, the version on the server is 1.4.16. How do I upgrade to 1.4.18?

There really is no need for ya’ll to run it unless you install something new - it’s set to run every Saturday and the newest scans will be shows in there for each week.

If you install something new and you have a question about it being up to date, feel free to fun it. But other than that, checking it now and again is all you need to do - unless, of course, something actually shows up.

I ran it this morning, and I’m clean. Well, I need a shower, but the site is clean.
