I absolutely LOVE Fantastico. I base maybe 70% of the websites i create nowadays using Wordpress so Fantastico is a real time saver.

Yes, i agree Fantastico is a real time saver and i use it all the time but a friend of mine refuses to use it as he believes it is not as secure as a manual install. Not sure if this is completely true but i do know that not all hosts keep their Fantastico scripts updated so that could cause problems i'm sure.

Fantastico is often out of date with the version of WordPress. Mostly, it doesn't matter if you are a bit out of date but if you do want the latest version, check in your cPanel to see if there is an icon called 'Simplescript'.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.
