This reminds me, I need to update wordpress on some of my blogs…I remember back, not so long ago, when updating meant you had to download the lastest version, and go through a 12-15 minute process of copying over files etc. The one click update feature that Wordpress now has is a real time saver!

If you want I can send you the Plugin Tools plugin its not finished or pretty but it works.

So you want SVN code only?

I think my plugin issue cam during a major update so I may try the next minor update without disabling anything and just putting my blog offline with the Site Unavailable plugin.

I’ve been looking for a plugin that did three things, a mass deactivation before an update, a mass reactivation after the update, and a way to dump a list of the plugins like I can get with the Nightly Tester Tools plugin for Firefox. I’d be willing to help test it next time we have an update. I think I saw a script from Aaron Brazelle or someone else who did updates through the svn code.

Ok, I’ll keep working on it. Any ideas you have?

I actually only had the plugin problem once upgrading from 1.5 to 2.0. But that script does work. I just used it today.

I almost left everything activated since it seemed like such a relatively minor upgrade, but I tried that before an paid for my audacity. Plugin Tools sounds like it could be a godsend. I look forward to using it.

No you don’t have to disable plugins to upgrade wordpress. It turns out you don’t. But I also built a plugin (still working on it) thats called Plugin Tools, and it allows you to disable and enable (previously enabled) plugins with one click.

Does that require deactivating and reactivating plugins? That could end up being a lifesaver, even for a single install of WP.
