Subscribe to RSS feedWordPress 2.1 0/341 is released and luckily dreamhost Submit 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 2/993 and am testing this
2. I first checked the The plugin compatibility listing 0/1 to see if my current ACTIVE plugins will work (anyways it was a handy list to do some product comparison):

3. I checked Google for weblogs that already upgraded 0/1 to see their experiences (also Technorati Submit):
- Online diary reports no improvemens in speed Submit although the database should have a high performance upgrade
- Nick Star reports its now WAAAY FAST Submit.
- I must remember that the option for the tabbed editor is under my user profile Submit
- I must remember to check my tags to see that they are not depricated 0/2
- On QuickOnline tips I found 10 tips you should know about WordPress 2.1 2/381
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 0/1.
[...] 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.
