i just installed wordpress using fantastico in cPanel, but when i log into the admin section of my blog wordpress tells me i am only using version 2.5, when the latest version is 2.62. Does anyone know if there is a way to update the wordpress account through fantastico (i haven’t put anything on the blog yet), or do i have to do it manually?

You can go to wordpress site and grab the latest release and just upload the updates or the whole thing over again. They should give you the software in a zip format and you can just unzip and ftp it up.
Or if it’s easier, my host seems to be providing 2.6.2 now so you could switch hosts and just re-install.
Hope that helps

Fantastico is often out of date with the version of WordPress. Mostly, it doesn’t matter if you are a bit out of date but if you do want the latest version, check in your cPanel to see if there is an icon called ‘Simplescript’. This is now a much better way of installing WordPress because it has an automatic update facility built in.
If you have Simplescript in your cPanel, go into your root directory and delete all the WordPress files. Then run Simplescript to reinstall the latest version.
Good luck!
