Wordpress Woes: What Had Happened Was…

As you can see, my site seems to have experienced some technical difficulties. What had happened was I upgraded to Wordpress 2.1 and was having problems with categories (namely I couldn’t create new ones or save anything to existing categories, and forget about the list of category names on the writing page). There were also problems with UTW and various other plugins which the individual authors are working to resolve. Anyway, I posted my issues in the Wordpress Support Forum and waited a couple of days but got no potential fixes so I decided to blow everything away and start on a fresh install. When I re-imported my posts everything was placed into a generic Uncategorized category so now I have to go back and re-file them. I was planning on adding some new categories and trimming down some of them that had become too general so this incident has given me a great chance to do just that. I am a little disappointed at this Wordpress update. I know it fixed over 500 bugs but it seems to have generated a couple hundred new ones. We’ll see how this all pans out. Overall I like the changes that have been implemented.

    I got relatively lucky with my WP2.1 install. All of my plugins (including the few I had hacked together myself) seem to play nice with the new build so everything there was ok.

    I am annoyed beyond belief, though, about the addition of another “default” category called “blogroll.” I can’t delete it and I can’t un-default it so it just sits there taunting me.

    The new login screen is kinda slick - but other than that I think I really would have been ok sticking with 2.0.7.

    Anyway good luck with the new system
