WordPress Upgrade and Plugins upgrade

    I'm just wondering, if I do a wordpress upgrade in my wordpress installation, do I have to run the upgrade script (in order to effect any database structure changes) in each blog under the hive?

    Also, what about plugins upgrades? A good practice is to deactivate plugins first before upgrade (as what the automatic upgrades does starting with WP2.5). If I use the same plugin in various blogs within the same hive, and I upgrade a certain plugin from a particular blog, I think it does not necessarily deactivate the plugin first from the other blogs. How do we address this issue?

    Yes, you will need to run the upgrade script for each blog. For the WordPress install itself, that just means to log into the admin of each blog after an upgrade.

    It is also similar for plugins. Depending on how the plugin is written, you may need to handle it specially so that it can run the database update. I've found that deactivating and then activating the plugin on each blog does the trick for the most part. But I haven't run into any major issues yet with this - in general, the plugins seem to run ok without doing anything.

    Both of these issues of better handling of upgrades (Plugins and Core) are on the roadmap.

    Is this true? Is just upgraded from 2.6.3 to 2.6.5 and was going to run http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php on each site but after the first one the rest said that they had already been upgraded.

    I haven't done this particular upgrade with WP Hive yet, so it it is untested by me. I believe that link is intended to upgrade the database, and technically you 'should' need to run it for each blog to update each set of tables. If it doesn't request the upgrade, then there might be something else at play here. Definitely something to investigate...

    Just had a look at the changelog. 2.6.5 is basically a security update with no changes to the db which is probably why it's not necessary to run the upgrade script.
