Mistake
By revsonic on Sep 25, 2007 in Tech
When I was upgrading my blog to WordPress version 2.3, I made what I consider a rookie mistake. In a hurry to upgrade, I bypassed the backing up the files step. The upgrade was easy enough and worked. I went out to check the site and noticed all of the custom links and changes I had added last week had disappeared.
My problem: I forgot all my custom features were done inside WordPress directly to the files on my internet server not to the files on my computer. At work, I usually make the changes on my local computer and then upload the finish work to the internet. So when I quickly upgraded, I put all the original theme files back on the web in their original glory. With no safety backup files around, I am left to re-create what was already complete.
I feel very smart.
Always make a backup.
