  1. errkk…imho bad idea. Wordpress upgrades are not known to be trouble free. Better to do it manually one at a time.

  2. @Joezul : wahhh! thats a really fast reply. nvm , the plugin will first backuo your files and database in case anything goes wrong.

  3. What does matt and the developers team have to say about this? I used to have a back-up plugin before but been advised to remove as it is not safe.

  4. Zul, why its not safe? security issue?

  5. I”ve used it to upgrade to v2.2.2. It been more than 12 hours now, and everything is working A-okay. I didnt do anything others than click next, everyhting is fully auto. Definitely a fantastic plug-in.
