Wordpress 2.5 upgrade is not for the faint of heart
April 15, 2008
I am Blog Almighty and I have several blogs of which one of them has been running on 2.5 for some time now and there hasn’t been any major troubles going on though I’m still observing under the process of observing if there would be some back-end effects for the front end seems to have no problems at all. Rumor has it that this upgrade would kill some plugins though none of what I have been using was affected.Anyway, if you’re planning to upgrade your Wordpress versions, I suggest you do it first on a test blog. Why, because no one can make sure what would happen after you do and things get really messy if you’re not prepared. For most forum threads that I’ve been reading, I see a lot of people whining about a few bugs, their plugins not working and the inside pages of their gallery is not displaying correctly.
Well, I have already blogged about my WP2.5 upgrade here and I’ve already said that the upgrade, aside from the WP Gallery, there really isn’t any major inclusions that would make be jump for joy. And for the WP Gallery, it’s not working properly on my Mimbo theme so I made a few hacks and tweaks on the WP include files as what I’ve seen on one of the WP forum threads. Usually, the WP Gallery should work as this, but mine is working as this through the courtesy of Lightview Plus plugin.
