Sounds like you're asking about two separate issues here: 1. How to update your WordPress files in your SVN repository
2. How to push changes in your SVN repository to your web server The two are mostly unconnected. For the second issue, the simple solution would be to just use SSH to connect to your web server and manually copy over all the files (or all the changed files). Alternately, you could set up a post-commit hook in your SVN repository to automatically copy changed files to your web server whenever a change is committed. That's a bit more complicated to set up. Updating a large software package like WordPress is always kind of a pain if you actually have those files under version control. I would say the best solution is to actually use WordPress as an SVN external. There's a tutorial about that here: http://josephscott.org/archives/2009/02/installing-wordpress-as-a-subversion-checkout-or-external-in-a-subdirectory/ Hope that helps, -Gabriel On Dec 9, 2:58 am, markmapstone <chilledheatm...@gmail.com> wrote: > sorry guys, there's always one isn't there.... > > i've just got versions installed to be able to update my website, > after my developer advised I drop ftp and use svn and ssh.
