WordPress 2.7.1
WordPress has added the ability to automatically upgrade with one click. I had been using the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin but that functionality has been built in now. This is a great addition. I am on a satellite connection and have slow and unreliable upload speeds.
When I tried to use the new automatic upgrade function, however, it would not complete. I did some searching and found the problem to be a conflict with the Automatic Upgrade plugin. Once that was deactived the upgrade function worked flawlessly.
The new version of WordPress has also added the function to automatically ugrade plugins. This makes upgrading/updating plugins painless!!
