Upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 with no major problems
Last night i upgraded daparky.com to Wordpress 2.5 and i’m liking it a lot. I didn’t have time to do talkplaystation.com, i will probably do that tonight when i have some free time. The upgrade process went very smooth, unfortunately a few plugins didn’t make it through. These were:
- Gregarious
- Advanced Tag Entry (works but not recommended for Wordpress 2.5)
- Tag Suggest Thing
Over the weekend i’m going to look for some alternatives to the above plugins that don’t work. I’m sure there are plenty out there.
Wordpress 2.5 works a lot quicker in the admin panel, whereas it was a bit sluggish pre 2.5. I like the new design and layout, it’s a lot easier to navigate around. Some people reported problems with ‘Popular contest’ plugin, getting a fatal error when enabling the plugin in Wordpress 2.5. There is a fix for this, all you have to do is:
Open popularity-contest.php and scroll down to line 59. Replace require(’../../wp-blog-header.php’); with require(’../wp-blog-header.php’);

I upgraded recently too. It went pretty well, but it also broke a few of my plugins, although I don’t use many but the ones that I do use are things I really need. I’m sure there’ll be fixes released soon.
Cheers for the interest in my blog by the way mate! It’s always nice knowing some people actually read it.
