Been happily running WP for awhile but was happy to leave the version sitting on 2.8.4.
Noting the upgrades over the intervening period I always hesitated - BUT it all seems to work, so I never did upgrade.
The question is will I experience a mess if I attempt to go from 2.8.4 to 3.3 all in one jump?
Is it right that the cPanel, Backup should be used to backup, locally, the entire public_html folder; then the SQL database; then any odds like forwarders.
I'm not sure if it is the whole root that is backed up or just the public_html folder.
Is it likely that this backup will restore out of any mess which might occur?
Thanks very much.
Hope you all are experiencing a peaceful festive season.
