Upgrading to Wordpress 2.02
So this weekend I’ve been merging over many of my sites (including this site) to the newly released Wordpress 2.02. I’ve pretty much held off as all my upgrades were from 1.5.0.3.
I was somewhat concerned that it would get totally messed up and my permalinks would be non-working after the upgrade. My fears came to be somewhat realized as after I upgraded none of my permalinks worked but it was only due to my missing one of the upgrade steps.
- Tip: Make sure you delete your wp-content/cache folder.
- Tip 2: Make sure to disable ALL your plugings before an upgrade to V2 from V1.
Once I fixed that I updated my permalinks, added the old rules and everything seems to be working great so far. I do notice things to be a tad bit faster as well.
As for the administrative end, I do like the redesign. I used to use the Tiger OS X admin theme for a while but found it too slow. I’ve found a new theme: Spotmilk that I will give a try. If I like it I’ll be sure to give an update.
UPDATE 1
Well, I may have spoke too soon. It seems my “Previous Posts” and “Next Posts” functions seem to be broken. They used to be at the top of ever archive page, but now I got a SQL error. I then went into the archive.php template and saw my old template was using old functions of it compared to the new style templates that come with WP 2.0.2. So updated it to reflect the default theme in WP but got the same error. The code in question on the archive.php page is:
<div class=”navigation”>
<div class=”alignleft”>< ?p_hp next_posts_link(’« Previous Entries’) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”>< ?p_hp previous_posts_link(’Next Entries »’) ?></div>
</div>
So I’ll have to do a bit more research on this, I’m sure its happening to others. What is weird is the “Previous/Next Post” on the single.php page works fine when viewing single posts.
