Updating Wordpress Issues.

On the plus side I've really gotten to know my WP files because of this and can manually update almost with my eyes closed.

I had a feeling that SFTP and FTPS were two different beasts but wasn't sure.

I gave up on updating WP. I install it and whatever plugins I need and if it all works leave it alone. The few times I have tried to update have been a disaster so I don't even bother.

One other point on the updates. Sometimes when you update wp some of your plug ins will no longer work until updated.

I don't do much with Wordpress myself, usually only for quick jobs for clients, but I treat my installations the same way.

Sometimes a plugin breaks when WP is updated, and there is no update for the plugin... permanent breakage sucks!

I have always done the manual updates. I'm just a hands on kinda girl I guess.
