How to prevent pressing the panic button on a Wordpress upgrade and recover:
1. Ensure you have a complete backup of both the files in your Wordpress installation folder and a complete backup of the database.
2. Download the Wordpress compressed files and uncompress it to a folder on your local system
3. Upload all of the file via FTP to your website in the Wordpress installation folder. I would suggest that you upload the individual files first, then each directory and its contents.
4. Go to your standard Wordpress login url. If you aren't redirected to the upgrade instructions, return to step 3 and make sure that you have uploaded all the files.
5. If you get the redirect to the upgrade page ok, click the upgrade link. You should sail smoothly through the upgrade process. If you get any errors, return to step 3, its likely that you haven't uploaded all the files correctly.
