Use a real theme

This one’s for self-hosted Word­Press users only. (Apolo­gies to the rest of my readers.)

Ever since I started using Word­Press for this blog in Feb­ru­ary 2009, I have been unable to auto­mat­i­cally upgrade my Word­Press soft­ware. (Man­ual upgrades worked — but they were a pain.) Then I switched to a real theme by WooThemes. Volia! The upgrade worked ultra-fast and with great perfection!

So if you are fac­ing that prob­lem, just change your theme to a more pro­fes­sion­ally coded theme.
