Thinking about upgrading, and received a friendly message from my hosting provider informing me of applications which are out-of-date, and a warning that really old applications could potentially be removed. Since WordPress was on the list, it felt like time to get the latest version.

Everything went fine with the upgrade, after all I’ve done it before. One thing was a little funny, the URLs had little minus twos in them (-2) instead of the categories I’d filed the articles under. Looking at the database, I found the data in the wp_terms table, and no names. The upgrade had blown away some data. I searched the interwebs and found a good article by David Cumps to fix the missing categories.

Hopefully all the categories are correct. I guess I should go look through all incoming links and make sure they still work, someday.
