[Solved] Upgrade Wordpress in Fantastico

I wish Surpass would upgrade the version of Wordpress in Fantastico to the newest one. I think it's 2.2.1 right now. The newest version of WP is 2.3.3. I really want to upgrade my blogs but I'm terrified to do it manually. I keep waiting for Fantastico to update the version so I can use that to do it.

Any idea when it will be updated?

Fantastico is updated when the makers of it push the updates through. Usually it's just waiting on them to upgrade the versions.

Upgrading your Wordpress is really easy though. It's really hard to screw up.

First, backup your website (from the backup option in cPanel).
Download the latest Wordpress file
Disable all of your plugins
Unzip and upload the wordpress file
Visit yoursite/wp-admin/upgrade.php and click to continue
Reactivate your plugins and check for any updates to the plugins
