To my knowledge the plugins don't <em>need</em> to be disabled, but I'll do some additional reading on the topic and see if I can come up with an answer in the next version of the script. :)</p> Not sure how I missed your comment from last month, Eric.

  1. Connect to your server via SSH
  2. Download the script: wget http://krell.cellsandbytes.net/wp-content/uploads/wp-upgrade
  3. Place the file in the parent to your wordpress installation(s) (ie. if wordpress is in /myuser/www/myWPsite then the script should be at /myuser/www/wp-upgrade

The script was designed originally to upgrade a single instance of WordPress, if you have several to upgrade you will need to run the script multiple times.

##SimonB — The PROD_FOLDER variable is set to a default in the script, but you can pass a parameter to the script specifying which folder contains your WP installation: wp-upgrade myWPsite

however, i’m a complete newbie at scripting, so could you tell me how i run the script? i’m running windows on my pc, so i use winscp to connect to my server, then from within winscp i open a putty window. how do i run your script from putty?

i’ve noticed also that the value for prodfolder is hardcoded into the script – is it possible to pass this in as a parameter?

sorry for all the questions…!

Just one (probably stupid) question: Do I copy your script completely into the Terminal, or do I go line by line? I've never used a shell script before, only very basic shell commands (cd, wget, rm, rar, etc.), so I want to make sure I do it right...
