dirtvoyles Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I have about an hour before poker tonight, and I'm debating it. I don't use my blog to make money, so if it breaks, I restore and wait. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Backup first! I was upgrading a test blog and didn't back up first. I deleted my themes and plugins by mistake. Had to get Andy to restore them for me. I have upgraded a test blog and so far it's working fine. One new feature I like is the ability to a update plugin by clicking a link. You provide an FTP login and it downloads, extracts and installs it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtvoyles Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Well, I dove in and all seems well. All my plugins but "Popularity Contest" are working. PC won't activate, and WP says there is a fatal error. At least it's nice enough to tell you ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I will update another test blog tomorrow. If all goes well I will go live on my other sites on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWD Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I can't tell you all enough how much I appreciate your early adoption...looking forward to 2.5.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I saw the announcement too late yesterday through the wp rss feed to be able to try it out but will today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I updated another test blog today and it is working just fine. Guess I will update all my other blogs tomorrow. And for the first time with a major update this one didn't break my theme! I don't like the new admin interface but it's just because I'm not used to it yet.

dirtvoyles Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Same here about the admin interface, but I'm sure we'll get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I dont like the new widgets page, but it´s probably same here, I am not used to it yet, apart from that, the tests I done looks good. If all goes well I will go live on my other sites on Monday. Now we all know what Bruce do at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Now we all know what Bruce do at work. Have to find something to keep me busy. Updates is not my favorite thing to do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adorablepixels07 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 will this be updated through the cpanel fantastico thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yes, but not for a while. It was just released a couple of days ago. Doubt it will be in Fantastico for a couple of weeks. I could be wrong but doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 All the blogs I administer have been updated. Only have one with an issue. Clicking links using the Now Reading plugin are reporting a 404 error. Not sure what is causing that. I haven't updated the .htaccess yet, so that may resolve that issue.

TCH-Bruce Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Version 2.5 should now be in Fantastico. If not please open a ticket with the help desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
