I purchased your system a while ago and finally got some time to set it up today. I am in step 2 (wordpress set up). But there was a new version of wordpress 2.5. Should I download it and install it? Or should I just ignore the upgrade? Please help me. If you recommend upgrade to version 2.5, please tell me how to install it. I have no clue at all. Thanks. =)

The worst part about it is that it still messes with your code, ripping out whole amounts of it, even after you’ve saved the post. (If you checkout the WP forums you’ll find a ton of flak about this, it seems an unbelievable SNAFU for them to make.))

Thankfully a new compatible version of Tiny MCE Advanced has already been released which will do all the things the WP 2.5 editor should have done in the first place.

Having said all that, after using it for a week, I do find it to be a huge improvement over the previous version, but only because all of my plugins are now working.

As has been said above, test first before upgrading, and for god’s sake make sure you do a data backup and copy before upgrading, otherwise you won;t be able to revert back to your previous version as 2.5 does a major dB update when you install it.

Yeah, testing with major upgrade is a must. I use numerous plugins and as it stands right now - 3 of them incompatible with 2.5 and that is tested. Good thing is that I know author work on them :D. I guess it always pays to use plugins that are well supported. I have upgraded about 5 of my smaller blogs to 2.5 and only one with an issue due to plugin not being compatible.

Cheers.

I upgraded one of my blogs, but it was very bare bones, with only a couple of plug-ins running.

I have a “test” subdomain that I use when I want to edit themes. I think I’m just going to upload all of the plugins from my “primary” blogs to that site, activate them, then see what happens when I upgrade.

… should be a fun weekend.

If you are one of my customers - wait for an announcement. I will provide all the details as well as video tutorial.

If you are not my customer - please use your own judgment and evaluate if 2.5 will work for your blog now or if you need to wait until all your plugins are compatible with it.
