WordPress 2.6 upgrade issues and fixes

Filed under: Wordpress plugins — Kyle M Brown @ 7:37 am

In case you didn’t know, WordPresss version 2.6 is available. Overall I felt that upgrading WordPress from 2.1 to 2.6 was fairly easy following the upgrade instructions on the WordPress site. During a WordPress upgrade to 2.6 from 2.1. I encountered a couple of issues as follows:

  • Categories and category descriptions disappear OR display 2-2-2-2-2 or blank in post titles after the upgrade
  • Blog main and admin screens are all white following the upgrade
  • HTML View not clickable and Visual view wont display
  • Tags: , ,

    Take your Wordpress blog offline with this Maintenance Page Plug-in

    Filed under: Wordpress plugins — Kyle M Brown @ 6:18 am

    Use this plug-in when you need to perform code changes, updates or edits to your Wordpress blog and you don’t want your users to receive error pages or pages loaded with garbage code. This is very clean and professional method of performing maintenance. I have’nt used this plug-in so I can speak to its functionality but may in the future.

    Note: According to the Author, this plug-in sends a 503 service unavailable for feeds and trackbacks stating that the service will be available in X. X is set by the admin. WordPress endorses this plug-in.
