- Log in to your hosting account
- Proceed to the “Control Panel
- Find and click the Fantastico De luxe icon as shown below
- You will then find a window where you will see your blogs and existing WP version. Beside the “2.5″, there will be a “Upgrade to 2.5.1″ Click the link of the blog you want to upgrade.
- Read the note carefully. If you are sure you want to upgrade, click the “Upgrade” button to proceed.

I would like to upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.5.1 using Fantastico (I installed 2.3.3 using Fantastico), but stopped when I saw the warning comment from Fantastico saying, “Click on Upgrade only if no files, languages, themes have been modified.”
After installing 2.3.3, I did have a designer customize the Kubrick theme to match my website. It has a different name (not “Kubrick”) and is in my themes folder. I googled for advice and found a blog called Easy WordPress which says that this warning comment doesn’t apply to themes (even though it says it does). ??? For some reason, I can’t comment to that blog; then I found this blog. What is your recommendation? Can I upgrade to 2.5.1 using Fantastico without Kubrick over-riding my customized theme? Or do I need to try installing the update manually (which I’ve never done).
Thanks for any advice
