As everyone I am sure knows to well upgrading wordpress can be a bit of a pain, so based on a couple of other scripts I found around the net I created this script for automatically backing up and then upgrading a wordpress install.

What it basically does is if you give it the full path of a wordpress install it will automatically reads the config file and get the DB details, then perform a backup of the db, then a backup of the wordpress files and then finally an upgrade of the wordpress install.

To run just use `bash wpUpgrader /var/www/wordpress/`

function wpExtract {
    echo $(grep -o "define('$1', '\([^']*\)');" $WP/wp-config.php | cut -f 2 -d ' ' | awk '{ print substr($0, 2, length($0) - 4) }')
}

TEMP=/tmp

if [ $# = "1" ]; then
    WP=$1
    # need to either force full path input or create canconical version
    # Validate that this directory is valid and contains wordpress files
    BACKUP_DIR=$PWD/backups/wp/$(date +%s)

    echo "Creating Backup Directory"
    mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR
    echo "Backup Directroy Created " $BACKUP_DIR
    cd $BACKUP_DIR

    echo "Backing up wordpress database"
    result=`mysqldump -u $(wpExtract DB_USER) -p$(wpExtract DB_PASSWORD) --database $(wpExtract DB_NAME) 2>&1 > blog.sql`
    if [ -n "$result" ]; then
        echo $result
    else
        echo "Taring DB Backup"
        result=`tar -cf db.tar.gz blog.sql 2>&1`

        if [ -n "$result" ]; then
            echo "DB backup could not tared be created exiting"
        else
            echo "DB backup tared"
            rm blog.sql

            echo "Creating Backup of WordPress Files"
            tar -Pzcf blog.tar.gz $WP 

            echo "Checking Backup Integrity"
            result=`tar -dPf blog.tar.gz $WP`

            if [ -n "$result" ]; then
                echo "Integrity check failed"
                echo $result
            else
                echo "Downloading Latest WordPress"
                wget -O $TEMP/latest.tar.gz http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
                tar -zxf $TEMP/latest.tar.gz

                result=`tar -ztf $TEMP/latest.tar.gz | grep wordpress/index.php | wc -l`

                if [ "$result" = 1 ]; then
                    echo "File OK"
                    cd $WP
                    result=`cp -avr /tmp/wordpress/* .`

                    echo $result

                    rm -rf $TEMP/wordpress $TEMP/latest.tar.gz

                    echo "New files copied vist http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php to complete the upgrade"
                else
                    echo "File Corrupt or missing"
                fi
            fi
        fi

    echo "Incorrect Number of Arguments"
