Make Sure You Upgrade Your Wordpress

By Max | July 23, 2007

Yesterday, my personal blog got hacked. I think there is some kind of Wordpress exploit for this version. Tonight I plan to upgrade to the latest version which hopefully will keep me out of trouble. Also I really need to start backing up my sites more regularly. You can’t afford to have a harddrive go out on a server and lose a website in this business.

Anyone have any ideas for an easy automatic way to perform backups?

    I used a couple of custom made php scripts that download certain things and certain tables from databases because in most of my databases there are only a couple of tables that change and the rest are mainly reference tables, i.e. filled once at setup and never added to from there on.

    I just backed up my wordpress this morning. It took less than 10 minutes from start to finish.

    I use this plugin for wordpress auto mysql db backups and have them sent to my email address: http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup

    figuring out your enormous sites is out of my experience
