WordPress 3.0 Upgrades Progressing

Since the release of WordPress 3.0 earlier this month I have been upgrading all my WordPress installs. These upgrades are progressing well, although, I have not dedicated any time to actually doing this, I have been doing them on an ad-hoc basis, if I visit a site to do some maintenance or work on that site I will upgrade it while I am doing it.

Using this approach I have probably done around 30-40% of my WordPress sites. Not a great percentage, but if you knew the numbers I am talking about then you would realize why I am pleased with this progress.

Some of the WordPress sites that have not been upgraded probably will not be for some time, but this doe not worry me too much as long as no security flaws are found and exploited, at which point this becomes a whole different ball game and I will have to dedicate time to the upgrade process.

I have considered using the WordPress multi-site functionality, however, using it across domains is not as clear and easy as it could be, you have to do some trickery with the htaccess and virtual hosts with the rewrite mod. Not something that is out of the question but something that will take time to setup and work out, on my test WordPress server.

I have read somewhere (sorry to the author I can’t now remember where) that they are so pleased that for once they can do a WordPress upgrade at their leisure rather than being forced into it due to WordPress security problems. I agree with this, especially with the 100′s of WordPress sites that I run, upgrades take a great deal of time.
