It would be smart to do a full database backup too, but I felt like living on the edge.<\/p>\n<h3>Find the Upgrade Button<\/h3>\n<p>For previous upgrades, I&#8217;ve seen a notice near the top of the dashboard, advising me that a new version of WordPress is available. There wasn&#8217;t anything visible when I logged in to WordPress, and I found the Upgrade option under the Tools menu in the dashboard&#8217;s sidebar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debradalgleish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/wp03a.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"wp03a\" border=\"0\" alt=\"wp03a\" src=\"http:\/\/debradalgleish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/wp03a_thumb.png\" width=\"226\" height=\"186\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Automatic Upgrade<\/h3>\n<p>You can download all the files and manually install the upgrade, but I opted to click the Upgrade Automatically button.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debradalgleish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/wp03b.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"wp03b\" border=\"0\" alt=\"wp03b\" src=\"http:\/\/debradalgleish.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/wp03b_thumb.png\" width=\"244\" height=\"159\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Everything went smoothly, and only took a few seconds.<\/p>\n<h3>New Features in WordPress 3.0<\/h3>\n<p>You can read about the <a title=\"new WordPress 3.0 features\" href=\"http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Version_3.0\">new WordPress 3.0 features<\/a> on the WordPress site.<\/p>\n<p>The new feature that I noticed immediately is the Updates option under the Dashboard menu in the sidebar.<\/p>\n<p>It was highlighted with a 1 symbol, and showed that my Theme had an update available.
