Upgrade WordPress from 3.4.2 to 3.5.1

Just upgraded then wrote this. Well I didn’t even know there was an update to 3.5 because usually the dashboard tells you. I guess there is no automatic upgrade. I downloaded the zip from wordpress, and extracted the files. Backed up everything, disabled all my plug-ins, then deleted everything in the root directory except wp-config.php and the wp-content folder. I copied everything over from the zip file except the wp-content folder, and after that I was pretty much done. Just navigated to marcelliot.net/wp-admin/upgrade.php and clicked upgrade. I logged in, enabled all my plug-ins and I was back up. It was pretty damn pain-free, probably took me longer to write this…
