Strange – I rarely have issues upgrading but I also always do a test on non-prod and always make sure to use only properly coded themes and plugins. I generally choose stability over functionality, when I have to.

Hi Alex -
You are fortunate if you can do a one click trouble free update. Ususally one or more of my blogs gets a hiccup when I do an upgrade to a newer version. Usually style sheet problems, but sometimes a plugin.
Cheers – Rhys

Great advice Alex on the importance of upgrading. I used to ignore the “little” upgrades until hackers made a mess of my blog. Now I upgrade immediately (after backing up of course). That’s why these upgrades come so often because they’re plugging security holes vs. just a features upgrade. I blogged about my hacked blog nightmare so if anyone reading this is not taking upgrading seriously watch this:

If really this little upgrade can boost the security level so much i will upgrade it today. I wonder when version 2.9 will come out. Are there any leaks about that? From my point of view there is no sense in making another upgrade to version 2.8 if it isn’t very necessary security matter, so You are right again, this must be important.
