Hi,

I have several blogs using WP 2.7 and wonder if I should upgrade to version 2.8?

Are there any known problems with the new version?

I have started to create a new blog with 2.8 but it's doing strange things OR maybe it's just me

Any advice appreciated.

Joe

      Many people have had problems with WP 2.8 and there was an extensive thread on it

      http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...rade-mess.html

      Suggest you wait for WP 2.8.1 AND check that the comments of people installing it are favorable before you upgrade.

        Thanks for the quick response!

        Austind72 - I am using Super Adsense Celebrities Theme 2.1 by Gobala Krishnan which has worked perfectly with my other 4 WP sites. I installed the new theme , checked to see if it looked ok which it did. The adsense "ads" were all there. Then I changed the pub code to my number, saved it and checked the page again and all the adsense items had disappeared. Prior to this when trying to amend the css file the whole programme "froze".

        ppc4profit- thanks for the link - most interesting posts. I should have waited!

          Hi,

          Just looked at my Fantastico control panel and there isn't an option to use version 2.7 instead of the new 2.8 and I have three new sites in my head!

          Any ideas?

          Joe

            Hi Joe;

            Pls PM the URL for your new site - will take a look.

            It's easy enough to install WP without fantastico - cpanel and WP's own setup scripts make it a doddle really. Can guide you thru this.


            Cheers,
            Austin.

    Before you upgraded, you should have tested it for issues with plugins and themes with your home server (wamp server). This is how I test before upgrading on my main website.

      Hi Austin,

      Thanks - thats very generous of you.

      I have to go out now but when I return I will search my hard drive as I think I might have the neccessary intructions to install WP manually.

        I also upgraded to WordPress 2.8.
        The only thing I don't like is the way it organizes the plugins.
        Other than that, I have not experienced any serious issues.

            I've upgraded to WP 2.8 without any problems so far, I would recommend that you do a backup of your database first before you upgrade, you can do a search on the WP plugin extend site for a backup plugin that may help... If your really not sure then I would wait for the next WP update, but to make it clear, you should backup your site everyday!.
