WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious”

well that was easy, and i don’t seem to have broken anything

upgrade 2.8.4

yet another upgrade

bulk upgrade, did a few this time

2.8.2

upgrade, test, Ok

2.8.1

upgraded, seems to work

WordPress 2.8

Well upgrade to 2.8 went real smooth, as it always does

not sure if i will ever find the chance to use the new features, or if I am brave enough to re-enable the file permissions need to make them work.

I must look at enabling FTP from localhost at some point to get the self updates to work..

2.7.1

i have just deployed wordpress 2.7.1 across my entire estate
5 instances including the wife , son and a few local friends

Moving House

after 3 years of being hosted in the US, this blog has moved back to the UK, to a better server for less dosh

WP 2.7

Just installed wordpress 2.7

Thought I had stuffed it the admin page took AGES to load, the first time

Will take a while to get used to the new layout

But I like it so far

upgrade 2.6.3

went smooth, i think

2.6.2, Nightmares

So he we go, upgraded to 2.6.2

And it all fell to bits, could not login, but did not get the wrong password error.
cleared all the cookies, and tried different browser , same deal !!!!
hmmm, Rolled back to 2.6.1 same deal !!!!

So this is getting drastic
Copied the setting file somewhere safe, nuke the whole lot ( except themes) and re upload
It worked, cool, put some plugins back, wp-gravatar and spam Karma 2
It blew up again , now getting annoyed
removed plugings, now works, login to admin page and got to plugins section, and disable all plugins,
re install and activate, WP-Gravatar, wp-mobile, Spam Karma 2 and reCaptcha
All seem to work, will leave it alone for a while now

Mind you i have been thinking aboiut a clean up for a while now, the WYSIWYG editors have not been right for a while, odd mix of JS files i suspect
