However, there are a lot of factors such as your web hosting company, your settings, customizations you've made to the source code, etc. that all factor into potential problems with the upgrade using a WordPress plugin. Unless you are comfortable with restoring a backup, I would suggest proceeding with caution or continuing to use Fantastico. Zhu,

Never had a problem (as long as plugins as desactivated etc.)... even though it can take a while for the newest WP version to be available. However, last time I wanted to use on of the plugin you mention to upgrade (instant upgrade and automatic), and I read that for Fantastico users (i.e those who installed their WP with Fantastico), they are not safe to use. I saw that on the plugin homepages... in the comment and as a warning. I first installed WordPress with Fantastico (didn’t know much at the time) and now upgrade with it.
