Loading ...Painless.
I caught a security notice about wordpress and decided to take the plunge and upgrade to 2.0.1. After the crap with midi I put up with this weekend, I wasn’t too fond of messing with anything. I bit the bullet and went through with it tho, and the result was painless. I’m using webapp-config and virtual hosts, so there was a bit of an extra step:
- emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=www-apps/wordpress-2.0.1″
- webapp-config -U -h morgajel.net -d wordpress wordpress 2.0.1
when this ran smoothly, I loaded up the page and noticed some errors in the sidebar. I loaded the site admin section, thinking I could find out more here when I was greeted with a “You have to upgrade the database” message. I clicked next, expecting a long complex process that was going to make me curse like a sailor. Instead I’m greeted with a “well, there was really only one step. you’re all done!” message.
Everything seems to be working great now. Not too fond of the new ‘write post’ interface, but I’ll get used to it. If this article works, it’ll be my first successful posting with WP 2.x
Isn’t WP the easiest thing you have every upgraded. I have never had such an easy time upgrading a web app like the way WP works.
Also I don’t care for the new write post thing either. If we are talking about the same thing you can make it like the old way by going to USERS tab and at the bottom uncheck marking the Use the visual rich editor when writing option. Personally I think this makes it easier to write a post with it disabled.
Yeah, that was found right after I made this post. The older editor is superior.
