I wouldn't recommend it for the faint of heart though, because you have to delete files. Just read the comments on my post. Overall, I think I benefited from the new features in Ella release. I could not export my content from the 2.0.6 version, but I can in the Ella release. That came in handy when I moved my blog to a host provider. I just imported the xml file that Ella creates when you do an export and my content as well as all of their respective comments were successfully imported. The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that the import process creates new page id numbers for each post. Thanks for your post. If you have any question please leave me a comment or send me an email and I reply. Jose Hello Des,

I have done WP upgrades before, but this one seems to have a few potential traps. My recollection is that previous upgrades involved only a couple of keystrokes, but I might be imagining that. Robert Kingston has a very positive post about upgrading and the post includes an invitation to email him if you have questions: http://www.smallbusinessbranding.com/659/upgrade-wordpress21/ As this is a b5media network site I don’t actually handle the upgrade issue.

I would like to upgrade, but am a bit fearful of messing it up (although I believe that I have enough technical expertise to repair it), I just don't feel like messing it up. I have installed WP 2.1 for a friend. Although I haven't tested every feature, I like what I see so far. I'm also testing a WP plugin for the Joomla CMS. There are a few bugs that I need to work out of it before I put it into production. Did you upgrade from 2.0.6 to 2.0.7, or did you start out using 2.0.7? jldtudor Thanks for the post.
