I must confess that I’m surprised to hear about problems with 2.1. I host at Dreamhost and they have one-click installations of WordPress. When new versions of WP come out, all I have to do is click a link to upgrade my current installations. The only “problem” I have ever encountered is my custom wp-login.php page getting overwritten.

Upgrading was not straightforward for me, but I don’t understand php. what is bugging me is that on the post screen the visual editor is now working but I don’t get the “preview” and “edit” links which allowed me to easily switch views without scrolling. Not understanding what is going on I don’t know whether this is a design change or another thing that has not worked quite as it should.

But none of this means I don’t appreciate all the work that has been done and the stability and quality of WordPress.

Thanks for the the thing about the visual editor!

Anyone know anything about the content uploader or something like that? Or is that just the new version of how to select how your photos will be inserted and linked?

Another bug has to do with what I think is the Autosave. I’ve found that if I enter text into the text editor before adding a title, I’m unable to save/publish the post.

When I try it confirms if I’d like to publish the post “”

Whether I say yes or no, it doesn’t save/publish and my content disappears.

There are problems with rogue paragraph openers, too. Here's the solution.

You know, I felt guilty about not upgrading to 2.0.6 and 2.0.7 (after seeing what a process would be involved) so I bit the bullet and upgraded to 2.1 yesterday.

I guess I’m lucky because nothing actually broke (except the LJ Crosspost plugin which I managed to fix myself despite not knowing anything about php!) … but now all kinds of weird things happen in my admin panel when using Firefox – I get strange little empty boxes that won’t close and follow my mouse around (meant to allow me to insert an image in a post?) and the “send to editor” button does nothing at all.

Luckily it all works in IE 7, but what a shock to have to downgrade my browsing experience like that! Anyway, I’m patiently awaiting 2.1.1 that will hopefully fix all this :-)

Hey Aaron,
Here’s one for ya. (This is after the upgrade.)
I’m using IE7 and my main landing page /WP gives me an IE error “can’t access page”
Individual pages will come up just fine, but not the Main Page.
My readers using IE are having the same problem, but those using FireFox are not.
Any ideas?
Joe

(I have 3 other WP blogs that were upgraded and are NOT having the problem in IE).
J.

Technically you are correct. Let me point out as well that folks using get_links_list() may be passing category IDs and those ID’s are bound to change witht he bookmark/list merging.

By: Michael

Michael — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 15:16:33 +0000

get_links_list is not deprecated, it’s not in /wp-includes/deprecated.php, by contrast, it’s still in /wp-includes/bookmark-template.php
