Breaking a sweat over 2.5

Breaking a sweat over 2.5

I’m a firm believer that upgrading is for the better. And will blindly jump where Wordpress wants me too. I’m sure many individuals has taken the leap and upgraded to Wordpress 2.5.

I did and i could not be happier that i did. But in the same breath I’d just like to talk about the issues I had. Upgrading to Wordpress 2.3.3 was fairly easy… same version so no surprise. But with Wordpress 2.5 there was a snag or two.

Firstly:

The Wordpress Image Uploader Issue has been very troublesome for certain individuals. Mine did not work but a quick fix, all be it somewhat advance one, sorted that out. Others, were not so lucky.

Secondly:

My Theme Downloads seized to work. I have been using the WP-Download Manger and it forms a huge part of my blogs life line to the Wordpress Community. There was no “Upgrade Automatically” nor an Upgrade announcement. The sweat started forming.

Thank the lord Google came to my rescue and it tracked down all of Gamerz updated plugins for WP 2.5. Here you can find a list of Gamerz’s Wordpress Plugin Updates. There are a list of several popular plugins, so please have a look.

Upgrading is still the way to go… even in the face of uncertainty. Best of luck to you all. Please keep a lookout for Wordpress 2.5.1

An emotional moment comes as I finally polish up this LONG overdue theme for my site. Many things can attribute to this theme taking well over 6 month to complete. Among those are the love/hate relationship I have with design, the lack of focus and the need to get everything perfect. My site is not perfect. [...] read more

District 9 out of 9
This past week I went to go see District 9 again. The make of any good movie is one that you can watch twice in quick succession only to appreciate it even more. The subtle South African flavor coupled with a unique story, told in an uncanny documentary style fashion made for an enjoyable second [...] read more

WordPress setting sail…

I’m glad to see that from all the Google Summer of Code applicants, WordPress got eight students to work alongside them on what it to be the next generation of WordPress improvements. I’m most interested in the theme builders and advance media handeling. Will just have to wait and see till the features gets realeased. More [...] read more

Qwitter, it hurts…
Lately I’ve been getting lots of twitter followers. I think it’s mostly because of my recent move to WooThemes and thus I’ve refrained from over posting to twitter. I really don’t want to seem like a loony toon who tells people what he had for breakfast, and only try sharing stuff that are genuinely cool [...] read more

Ubuntu for the very 1st time

I've recently run into some crippling Windows problems. And it was, worst of all, effecting my Internet access when I need it so desperately, like so many fellow South Africans. Moving to mac has crossed my mind, but I opted to go to a free place. A place where operations and function, roam freely. Linux. read more

Unmoderated…

I currently have 110 unmoderated comments. Yes, I have a filter enabled and yes, I might have a few spam comments. Majority comes from my themes I realeased. They, luckely, will all be moving to ThemeSmith. More streamlining to do on my behalf. I apologize if you we’re caught up in that.  read more
