Well considering I’ve never used it I can’t really comment. I do know that upgrading the long way breaks things some times so I can’t imagine any auto-installer will do any different.

I’ll wait till I hear a few more reports before giving it a crack

Tal – “the damn thing works”?! Watch your language young man, or we may force you to go work at Coffee To Go. Ryan is a good guy, so treat him nicely please. And he’s doing his PhD in supramolecular something-or-other, which almost puts your MA in Math to shame, so some respect please

Miriam – you may not need any, but others do
(like godaddy hosted people, like myself)

And Ryan – the damn thing works, just use it one click at a time (and backup at will, for example by using wp-dbmanager, of which I wrote her:

But it’s in hebrew)

Ryan – really? See, that’s the kind of thing that makes me nervous. Anyways, since I use Fantastico, upgrading is really easy and I don’t need any plugins.

Ick, that plugin looks horrid. I’d be very concerned that it may break something.

Hi Miriam
The plugin is Great. is allows you to have FULL control over the process – try it out and let us know.

Yours,
Tal.

Hello Tal yekiri – nice to see you here! I’ve seen that plugin, and it makes me nervous for some unknown reason. I think it makes me feel like I’m losing control or something, but of course that reminds of what you said about control…I guess I should try it out.
