Bluehost have upgraded WordPress to 2.0.5 so I ignored this warning and clicked ‘Upgrade’ Click on Upgrade only if no files, languages, themes have been modified you haven’t added mods to this installation of WordPress After all, the whole point of hosting a blog is to add plugins and modify themes.
