We recently rolled out WordPress 2.7.0, which includes a signficantly improved interface and many useful features (kudos to the WordPress team for an outstanding release!). One great new feature in WordPress 2.7 is the ability to upgrade to newer versions of WordPress easily as they become available! When you log into your WordPress administration page and a new version is available, you are notified and given the choice to upgrade. All you need to do is put in your FTP settings, and WordPress does the rest for you. WordPress asks you for your Hostname, your Username, your Password and a Connection type.
Hostname: should be your blog domain name, however, there may be a system issue/bug right now that we are working on rectifying, so for now, put in “localhost” (without the quotes).
Username: should be your main FTP user name for your account and not your blog administrator name, you can find it in the “FTP & Content Publishing” section of your Network Solutions Account Manager.
Password: should be your main FTP password.
Connection type: Choose “FTP”.
Hope this helps!
