WordPress Upgrade 2.5 One more time!

Blogged by René on Friday April 18th, 2008 at 6:51 am in Web Design | 1 Comment »

Here we go. I’ve been putting this off. Another upgrade and all the problems that go with it. I’ll be working this today and will update this post to let you know how it goes. Hope my Anubis Neopet Theme still works.

UPDATE: 7 hours later and I’m still not done. Well. Do Not Use Firefox to Upgrade!

Don’t UPGRADE!

Don’t UPGRADE to WordPress 2.5! Warning! Wait! Wait! Another Update is already online!

Media Loss! Doesn’t work! BAD! BAD! Bad!

I’m so screwed!

the only way to get Media to add is to handcode it as the “Add Media” button doesn’t work. A popup lightbox starts to load then goes to a page where images are listed with ‘Show’ links that do not work. Haven’t tried the upload method, but I am not inspired.
Here’s a little animated banner I made for Tales of King Tut:

Here’s the same image with the popup lightbox added? And of course it won’t work since the media editor is all messed up.

There are complaints all over the WordPress Forum. See for yourself another blog rant. There is a small inkling that these problems might be fixed in a ‘new upgrade’. Shudder!

Trying to add –>Syndicate Links in the Sidebar. My theme does not use sidebar widgets. Everything has to be handcoded. but I like my theme. So does Tut and Paaten.
Easier look for the –>Add Me links at the bottom of posts, but cannot figure out how to add or delete icons and sites, yet.

More adds include the –>RSS Footer to keep from getting ‘Scraped’. UserOnline is interesting.

Will add more links later.

So what do you think about my new widgets and whatchits? “UserOnline”, ‘OthersOnline’, ‘Spread the word’ and ‘Syndicate’?

Oh, please let me know what you think!
