WP 2.5?

[Toby]

Has anyone gotten brave an upgraded yet?

If so, any issues, particularly with third party plugins?

[helix]

Simple Tags just updated their plugin to work with 2.5
That was the only issue I was having.

I have two blogs on that domain and was thinking of upgrading the second one but got visitors this afternoon. No rush...

[Ms Naughty]

I feel tempted to upgrade but it might be better to hold back a few weeks and see what bugs turn up.

They're talking about file uploads and galleries... I really need to do a bit of reading. Whenever I add a pic to my blogs I edit it in Photoshop, save it, upload it to a special folder via FTP. Can wordpress do this for me? I'd be very happy if it did, man that would save time (and get rid of a point of procrastination.)

[digifan]

Yes you can use attachments or a wp gallery builder. I am doing my galleries in uugallery, see www.adigital-fantasy.com

Or check out any of these:

I updated the day it came out with no major issues. I was several releases behind anyway, so being able to take advantage of features that people were already using (like sidebar widgets) was a great upgrade for me.

I've upgraded one of my mainstream blogs to 2.5 . The only plugin that I have on the site that won't work is WP-Slimstat-Ex

[NinjaSteve]

Once I upgraded the plugins to the latest version I haven't had any issues after I upgraded wordpress. The admin took some getting used to though.

[Ms Naughty]

Wow Digifan, thanks so much for the link!

Now, if I could find the time to jhzuush up my blogs in the near future, life would be fab...

[Toby]

Since I didn't hear any horror stories I went ahead and upgraded my one blog.

No issues so far, and most important, FeedWordPress is still working fine.

Now to get used to the new admin.

[digifan]

I am stuck with 2.3.3 for uugallery hasn't been updated yet but switched to a new theme lol. And started working on it.. now wish I knew where to add just 1 pt thin black border to the pics in the posts.. this css is longer than a novel.

Hey digifan....about halfway down the css, line 677?
Change to this:

.post-content img {
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #000000;
margin-right: 10px;
}

That should do it.

HTH

Here is a copy I changed already:

Yay thanks... you are awesome. I took a little break because my eyes hurt and are dry. The other parts are ok except the toplist created by slothtrader and will add a lot more.
Thanks again!

i upgraded a mainstream blog yesterday and have no issues to speak of. all my plugins still work too.

[M.Rodriguez]

Upgrade went smooth and easy without any problems at all..

I set my first 2.5 splog up and everything works fine until I import the feeds - as soon as I populate the database, it gets SLOW - real pain in the ass so far.

[papagmp]

There is a bug in permalinks that I'm trying to figure out - lots of different opinions on Google - still researching

OK - Maj Stress and I are done stressing out on this one - here is the fix:

Create a empty .htaccess file in the WordPress root folder.
Use chmod (or your ftp) to set permissions on the htaccess to 777
Set permalinks to: /%category%/%postname%/

Note: /index.php/%category%/%postname%/ did not work for me in WP 2.5

If you already have an .htaccess file in the root folder, you should be able to just change the permissions.

Thats pretty dangerous to be setting your htaccess file to 777. Easy for a hacker to do all kinds of things.

My feelings exactly - we're looking for better a fix and hoping the WP geeks fix it ASAP

According to this article you can change the persmissions to 644 once you have permalinks working.

[ronnie]

I was just going to say, if even 755 would work. Least something.

Plus making sure people realize 777 is not a good permission setting.

Thanks Maj Stress - You're the MAN
