No automatic WordPress upgrade for me

Yuck.  I tried upgrading WordPress earlier this week using the Automatic WordPress Upgrade plugin (which has worked fine in the past) to no avail.  It kept getting stuck on making a backup copy of my database.  I had not done the upgrade before the most recent one, so perhaps that had something to do with it.  I’ve been putting off doing it manually due to lack of time, but finally got around to it this evening.

It really wasn’t all that bad due to the fact that I had time and no distractions.  The extended instructions on the WordPress site were pretty straightforward, and it took me one hour from start to finish (including backing up the database and previous version of WordPress).

I’m getting used to the new dashboard, and am glad that it’s done!  Have you had any issues upgrading?  Are you putting it off?
