Subscribe to RSS feedWordpress 2.1 is released and luckily dreamhost already supports it as an auto-upgrade. So what is a wise thing todo for such a major upgrade?
1. I upgraded my sandbox blog and am testing this
2. I first checked the The plugin compatibility listing to see if my current ACTIVE plugins will work (anyways it was a handy list to do some product comparison):
- The admin drop-down menu 1.3 CHECK
- Akismet 1.8.1 CHECK
- Autometa 0.8 CHECK
- Bad Behavior 2.0.5 hmm.. I think I need to go to 2.0.9 for safety… DONE… CHECK
- Blogger Title Fix 1.1 UNKNOWN (not in list), will test this afterwards
- Charcounter 0.0.1 UNKNOWN (not in list), will test this afterwards
- Dagon Design Form Mailer 4.2 , CHECK
- Exec-php 3.0 , CHECK
- Feedburner Feed Replacement 2.0.2, hmmm…upgrade to 2.2, fiddling with .htaccess…DONE…CHECK
- Google sitemaps 2.7.1 , CHECK, Im going to test the beta later
- Gravatar 1.1 , CHECK
- Landing sites 1.3 , UNKNOWN (not in list), will test this afterwards (the translated version is however known to work so I suppose this one will too
- Links Page 1.0 , CHECK
- Pagebar 1.2, hmmm…there is version 1.3.1 which seems to be required for WordPress 2.1, however I made some changes inside the code of this plugin…ok …filecompare…editor.. update…CHECK
- Related Posts 2.02 , CHECK
- Smart Archives 1.5, UNKNOWN (not in list), will test this afterwards
- Spam Karma 2.2 r3 , CHECK
- Stumble Info Link 0.2, ITS NOT IN THE LIST BUT…. Since I Wrote it
…it will work - Subscribe to Comments 2.0.4 , It says 2.1,…The website seems down so lets put this one on the todolist
- Text Control 2.0b1 , CHECK
- Text Filter Suite 1.1, ITS NOT IN THE LIST, let’S disable it for safety…end of pirate day talk
- Ubernyms 2.6 , It´s not in the list, hmmm…lets disable it for now
- Weighted Words 1.1 , Its not in the list, lets test this afterwards
- Wordcount 0.0.1, CHECK
- WordPress Database Backup 1.8, Hey… I definitely need to upgrade to here . Lets unactive and do this afterwards
- WP Cache 2.0.19 , there is now version 2.0.22, but even 2.0.17 hmmm lets upgrade to 2.0.22. (after i did this i read that only version 2.0.22 seems to have a problem and previous version did not …sigh).
3. I checked Google for weblogs that already upgraded to see their experiences (also Technorati ):
- Online diary reports no improvemens in speed although the database should have a high performance upgrade
- Nick Star reports its now WAAAY FAST .
- I must remember that the option for the tabbed editor is under my user profile
- I must remember to check my tags to see that they are not depricated
- On QuickOnline tips I found 10 tips you should know about Wordpress 2.1
4. I made a full copy of all my source (e.g. adjustments to my template) and a full database backup.
So…now I only have to investigate if WP-Cache 2.0.22 will work normally with WP 2.1 and then we are off, adjust theme settings again and update the plugin compatibility listing above .
[...] I upgraded to Wordpress 2.1 so probably there are still some glitches. Ray reported that you get an error message from the [...]
I’ve verified that my Text Filter Suite is compatible with WordPress 2.1. It’s safe to turn it back on.
Oh, and BTW, I’m running WP-Cache 2.0.22 on my site, and haven’t seen any problems with it, so far.
