I also need to know this. All I have is the WPAU backup files but apparently they are useless as nothing will recognize them in order to restore the site.

Are there directions anywhere????

[...] WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin by Keith (WordPress 自动升级插件) 你可以使用 WPAU （WordPress Automatic Upgrade 的缩写）轻松升级到 WP 2.7。我通过 IM （即时通信）和 Keith 确认了这事。有点遗憾的是，在 2.7 之后这个软件将不复存在，而被内置于 2.7 之中。感谢这个为我们做出贡献的家伙！ [...]

My site was working fine on WP 2.6.5 until I upgraded it using WPAU, version from a month or so ago.

Now the files have been all messed up. I did download the DB and Files backups, but when I try to unzip the Files backup on my Windows system, I get an “invalid file” error and no unzipping… jeeesh! Does this mean that this big site is now history???

Help someone!

This what shows up when you visit the site:

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘_show_post_preview’ was given in /home/partner/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 311

I am saddened that you are no longer supporting WPAU as WP is upgrading to 2.7.1 and I get a fatal error every time I try to use their auto upgrade.

I just used WPAU to move up to 2.7; I hate it! It has totally messed up the look of my blog as far as simple line spacing goes. Is there anyway to use WPAU to revert back to my previous version of wordpress?

[...] WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin by Keith You can still use WPAU to easily upgrade to WP 2.7. I confirmed this personally with Keith via IM. It’s a bit sad that WPAU will be no more after 2.7 as WordPress gets this feature built in. Thanks for this contribution buddy! [...]

Are you using it here yet? How are you liking it now that you’ve had more time? I’m hesitant & may wait until 2.7.1 before I upgrade, or wait until I know all my plugins can be upgraded without a problem. Sometimes I get tired of the frequency of updates, but it’s a sure sign that WordPress really cares, which I can appreciate.

My host has somehow destroyed my database (yes, so it seems). The only files I have are from the backup files generated by WPAU.

I’m switching hosts (well, wouldn’t you?) and would be VERY grateful if someone could direct me to a page that details how to restore a WordPress blog from the two WPAU backup zips.

I’ve Googled for hours today. Although many of the pages that talk about WPAU mention in passing that you CAN restore your blog if necessary, none of them explain HOW to do so.

Hope someone can help, appreciate it. This plugin has been incredibly helpful to me, and I’m pleased that WP ahve seen fit to recognize that by including it in 2.7.
