Comments on: Upgrading to WordPress 2.3.2 http://blogginggal.com/2008/01/03/upgrading-to-wordpress-232/ News, reviews, and tips for the blogging enthusiast Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:14:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Viper http://blogginggal.com/2008/01/03/upgrading-to-wordpress-232/#comment-99 Viper Tue, 08 Jan 2008 06:23:13 +0000 http://blogginggal.com/2008/01/03/upgrading-to-wordpress-232/#comment-99 I hate to beat he same drum but this plug-in slowed my blog to a crawl. I have installed a few things as of late so like an idiot, I just removed the whole slew of them at once instead of systematically removing one at a time to see what the slowdown was. My blog popped right up. So I started putting things back and the guilty plug-in was this one. Ironically, I used it to install 2.3.2 before I troubleshot, even though it took forever. Finally got it on the third try after leaving it alone for 1/2 hour. Irony, part 2: I had finally gotten tired enough of seeing the "New Update Available" announcement on the admin page that read something like 73 days old. I upgraded to 2.3.1 and when I did the final refresh, the first announcement was that 2.3.2 was available. Anyway, I must be jinxed. First Bad-Behavior took out my blog and now this. I'm just glad it wasn't the "Related Posts" plug-in because I LOVE that one. <em>Viper's last blog post..<a href='http://www.grose.us/blog3/2008/01/02/new-years-day-hunger/' rel="nofollow">New Year?s Day Hunger</a></em> I hate to beat he same drum but this plug-in slowed my blog to a crawl.

I don't want to have to upgrade Wordpress again! I swear I only did it last week. Maybe I'll do it this weekend because I have a few plugins that are a little long in the tooth too. <em>Bush Mackel's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BushMackel/~3/210594984/' rel="nofollow">Double Column vs Single Column Sidebars</a></em> Man… I don’t want to have to upgrade Wordpress again!

I tried the upgrade based on your suggestion and yes it was easy, but I did encounter a few errors in the final stage, which I'm 99% positive is because I'm hosting my blog on a Windows server, not a Linux one. I always have problems with the blog because of it, since it's a lot harder to change certain server settings (windows is like crazy secure and doesn't easily let you alter read/write abilities). In the end, the upgrade worked and my blog is fine, but I still see minor error messages every time I post or edit a post. From the reader's perspective though, everything is 100% fine. If I wasn't lazy (or prob more scared), I'd do a complete re-install of the blog to see if that'd fix things. But I'll probably just wait it out and switch back to Linux soon. :) But yes, Keith's plugin is super easy and I'm going to use it on my other 2 blogs that ARE on Linux boxes. Thanks for the tip!

Fantastico was still showing 2.3.1 as the latest version. Thanks for the lead on this... I'll upgrade tonight! Tish, Do you regularly read my mind?
