WordPress updated
Updated all blogs to latest version of WordPress (4.7.1) in a few steps after downloading to workstation and FTP to VMS:

1. Unzip to destination

2. Rename directory (to get rid of ‘standard installation’ and to be able to install aside running version)

3. Define logical for this environment

4. Run WP2VMS.COM procedure to replace underscores (caused by Unzip) by dots, when needed

5. redefine logicals for all blogs to refer to the new WP version.

6. Run the update scripts on each (if applicable)

All within 20 minutes, from nothing at all to all blogs done.

No problems (so far).

Bad date?
Noted that all publication dates since 04-Nov-2016 were off one day, and found out that some time in October, the time zone of the blog changed from YCT+0 to UCT+3. Reset to the right value and had to re-calculate the date and time of publication three hours backward. So that’s now corrected.
