I have done it, it’s working fine and I’m now using the latest version of word press 2.7 RC2

i guess I’m going to disable all the plug-ins i have right now because i have problem with the sidebar [ It's not there ]

Yes, the hack worked great. I would recommend disabling all other plugins first though. I had several that did not work in 2.7 and caused a bit of trouble.

Thanks for the tip, Luke. You’re right, i was several point-updates behind the latest: 2.6.1 at the time. I had no idea that might make a difference. Were you able to use this method yourself with your additional hack? I should update the post to include that info.

Mena, let us know if you get it working.

Mena,

Since you are on the most recent stable the plugin is checking to see if you are updated and once it sees that you are it does nothing. I am guessing that Jerimiah was not current when he made his hack.

I had to do one additional hack. Find this line 1/3 the way down:

if( ! $prelimCheck->runUpgradeRequiredCheck()) {

It will have the only occurrence of runUpgradeRequiredCheck() so you can just search for that.

Then remove the exclamation point. This reverses the logic and makes it only run the update if you are on the most current stable version :)

Yeah, i think the problem is probably with the Upgrade plugin, not the link you’re using.

What version of WordPress is currently on your site?

Also nothing happened even with the link http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.7-beta2.zip

I don’t know what is wrong…

Hmm, i’m not sure what’s going on without more info. Just to be clear – i already had the AutoUpgrade plugin installed, and had used it previously for regular WordPress upgrades, before i decided to try “hacking” it for the 2.7 prerelease.
