Should I upgrade my WordPress?

Generally wordpress users do not update the software immediately expecting any reported bug or incompatibility with plugins or themes in use, for that reason we must take into account many aspects before upgrading to WordPress 3.9

As recommendation is always good to have a copy of your site on a subdomain or have a test blog with the same theme and plugins to our official blog to test compatibility. If all goes well , we can update our version of WordPress. Remember that if you are using a demo or test block should blog tracking search engines.

If you use a theme, mainly payment , you should check for updates to its developers to see if there is a problem with the new version of WordPress.

The editor has been improved and is responsive and faster with mobile terminal. The option to " Copy from Word " was deleted .

The editing is now easier because it allows us to work with them without leaving the editor and can drag the images from the folder where we saved on our computer. It also allows you to create photo galleries, audio playlists and videos without using plugins.

The first thing to do is find a good hosting for WordPress, in my experience are Bluehost recommendations, and Hostagor Banahosting. Once you have created an account we will install WordPress in the hosting, this is quick and takes only 5 minutes!

By default our blog comes with no plugins except for Akismet, and to migrate our content to Joomla to WordPress plugin must install the "FG Joomla to WordPress" that you can transfer images, post, tags, etc.

Features of the plugin:

• Joomla sections and categories are transferred
• Migra categories as subcategories
• Transfer links from Joomla
• Spend keywords (keywords) as labels
• Maintains image attributes such as ALT.

Once the plugin is installed, go to "Tools" and "Import", here we click on "Joomla FG". Then you must fill out the information of your Joomla site URL and information as the database.

Also remember that you must select the "Force Media Import" option to migrate the images you have in Joomla to WordPress, click on the import button and go.

If all correct, you will see a message as shown in the following screenshot:
