I finished upgrading all the blogs and Websites using WordPress as a blog publishing platform as well as CMS (Content Management System) from WordPress 4.7 “Vaughan” to WordPress 5.0 “Bebo”, then WordPress 5.0.1 on December 09, 2018 to December 19, 2018 just before WordPress 5.0.2 maintenance release was out on December 19, 2018.
It took me sometime to finish upgrading all the nineteen (19) blogs and Websites as I needed to backup the databases and save the files first before upgrading them.
After I backed up the databases and saved the files and themes, I updated the blogs and Websites using the One-Click Automatic Upgrade at WordPress Admin Dashboard.
So far, it was a smooth upgrade considering that I was not able to upgrade the Websites and blogs from WordPress 4.7 “Vaughan” to WordPress 4.8 “Evans” and WordPress 4.9 “Tipton” versions.
Below is the video of the WordPress 5.0 “Bebo” with its new features especially the big upgrades to the editor.
Just a reminder, backup your databases and save your files and themes before you upgrade or every time you upgrade.
Thank you again, WordPress Team!
