My thoughts on WordPress 2.1 Ella

Well I’ve decided to test out WordPress 2.1 Ella out on this blog, but to be honest so far I’m unhappy!

Some of my problems are:

  1. It’s not compatible with my current theme, because every time I go to create a new post it keeps putting back my blog to the default classic theme, with a non-functional WYSIWYG Editor, argh!
  2. It has troubles with link categories!

So I may just be rolling back!

Update: Well I’ve now rolled back to WordPress 2.0.7, however it seems some of the tables didnt get exported when making my backup.

Update 2: Ok finally got it working all again, with all posts and my username restored, I’m glad to be back in WordPress 2.0.7.

Update 3: Hmmm seems like theres some problems within PhpMyAdmin now!

Update 4: Looks like it will be fixed soon: phpMyAdmin should be working again shortly. We are pushing out an update that will make it work normally.

Update 5: Ok all fixed, and I can definetly say that I won’t be upgrading to WordPress 2.1 Ella until I’ve fully tested it on a test server.

Anyhow sorry for any problems you might have experienced last night while trying to view my blog, I’ll have to do some more testing next time before deploying.

Hmmm was going to upgrade my blogs to wordpress 2.1 but this has put me right off.

Personally I always try wordpress updates/modificiations on a local server before trying them live. So many of the plugins seem to break or do funny stuff.

Nice theme by the way.
