Will try it very soon. It’s verion 2.9.2 in the meantime and I still didn’t take the time (didn’t dare) to upgrade. Will try it very soon.

Really great to hear from you. Though I'm getting more confident each day that it will do my blog no harm to update I don't dare at this moment. The main reason is that I just want to do it if I have a certain amount of hours time after the upgrade to clean up the mess if something goes wrong. You see, if there is something messed up it just would keep me out of my sleep. I think this weekend will be a great moment, as I have 24/7 support by my host. Although they don't support coding in any way. Oh yes, in the meantime I have more than 250 posts to jeopardize. Hi Jason my friend! Really great to hear from you.

I have to admit that I didn't backup my database and I didn't disable plug-ins, but I only have 3 posts on my blog so if I lost something it wouldn't be that tragic.

Sadly I don't have enough equipment to do it this way and it's a lot of work I guess. What I have to do now is just backup the database. Disable all the plug-ins. Hit the Upgrade-automatically button. See that it works. Enable the plug-ins. Done. As I have been called for a job that will eat up my time for the rest of the week I'm afraid that I have to postpone my action for several more days. Again, thank you and it's nice to read from you again! Mario Thank you for your clever input, Ulrich.

(you can install a server and database on any PC) This always helps me to do the real update, because then I know how much time it takes and what steps have to be done. Hi,
