Watch out from new update for Word Press

Rkelly · #1 (**permalink**) 07-03-2009, 04:45 PM

If you haven't updated the new version of Word Press, i don't recommend updating. I have seen from other posts that there are a few plug-in problems from the new update.

For me, the new update disabled statpress and wiped all my stats out.

That's why there is this thing called a "backup".

Yes 2.8 isn't a good update I believe. I read reviews before making any critical updates, though I have a backup too

I've heard the same abt Plugin issues...which is fairly common with WP updates.

Yeah i already saw this. I might try it but than again im not in the mood to go through every plug-in and fix it again.

werrich · #16 (**permalink**) 07-03-2009, 11:07 PM

this happens often with WP updates. In time the plugin fixes will catch up.

I didn't have to do anything with my plugins. They were all there and worked.

danwebb · #18 (**permalink**) 07-03-2009, 11:25 PM

Fucked a few of my themes up

BigHustlah · #19 (**permalink**) 07-03-2009, 11:47 PM

disabled my redirect plugin and header coding. I was waving my dick in the wind for 2 days with zero conversions before I figured out what the hell happened.

No more WP updates for me, if I can avoid them.

I updated one of my sites "thinking" that it would be smooth and ended up having to do a whole lot of troublshooting and code modifying and all that. I don't even like the interface.

For the rest of my sites, I'm keeping it at 7.1

So basically you're saying that a manual update brought forth no new problems?

I did an automatic update, too.

Ya i think a manual update is the best way to go from what im seeing.
