Thread: WordPress 3.0.4

Hi,

I did and wish I didn't

I updated the first site everything went fine. I updated the second site and the theme i was using went all over the place.

I have no idea why?

Gonna wait and see what the person working on it has to say before I update any more.

Also the your site Top left is gone!!!

Have now updated 5 blogs with no problem.

I download and uncompress latest.zip into /usr/local/www/data/wordpress/, then I run this shell script from the directory above all my web sites (/usr/local/www/data/):

Code:

#!/bin/bash

cd /usr/local/www/data
if [ -d wordpress/wp-content ]
then
rm -rf wordpress/wp-content
fi

if [ -f wordpress/wp-config.php ]
then
rm -f wordpress/wp-config.php
fi

# use find command to get all first-level subdirectories containing Wordpress

BLOGS=$(ls  */wp-config.php | grep -v $(ls -d */wordpress-mu | cut -f1 -d'/') | cut -f1 -d'/')
 
for b in $BLOGS
do
    cp -R wordpress/* $b/
done

After a good deal of disk drive activity I have 1,496 upgraded Wordpress installations.

I've just gone through and updated all my blogs. Pretty easy from 3.0.3 - short and sweet. Always pays to keep on top of these things.

Nice one - Will. Very simple scripts, thanks for the share.

I just recently upgraded to 3.0.3, and already they came out with 3.0.4. The best part is that Wordpress keeps coming out with new big fixes for security issues and what not, so it keeps us on the safe side!

just wanted to ask will, how to run that bash script in my hosting if i update?
although i somehow understand what the script will do, i'm still unure how to run it in my hosting

or do i need to have a dedicated server?

It would really only make sense on a dedicated host or a virtual host.

To run it, you need access to the Unix shell.

You would also want to edit it to have the correct path for your websites. Mine are stored in /usr/local/www/data/ -- yours may not be.
