Wordpress 2.7 update


2008
12.26

Today I updated the blog to WP 2.7 Coltrane, everything should be fine. If any problems occur, please be patient.

From Wordpress.com

“WordPress 2.7 “Coltrane”

By Matt.

The first thing you’ll notice about 2.7 is its new interface. From the top down, we’ve listened to your feedback and thought deeply about the design and the result is a WordPress that’s just plain faster. Nearly every task you do on your blog will take fewer clicks and be faster in 2.7 than it did in a previous version. (Download it now, or read on for more.)

Next you’ll begin to notice the new features subtly sprinkled through the new interface: the new dashboard that you can arrange with drag and drop to put the things most important to you on top, QuickPress, comment threading, paging, and the ability to reply to comments from your dashboard, the ability to install any plugin directly from WordPress.org with a single click, and sticky posts.

Digging in further you might notice that every screen is customizable. Let’s say you never care about author on your post listings — just click “Screen Options” and uncheck it and it’s instantly gone from the page. The same for any module on the dashboard or write screen. If your screen is narrow and the menu is taking up too much horizontal room, click the arrow to minimize it to be icon-only, and then go to the write page and drag and drop everything from the right column into the main one, so your posting area is full-screen. (For example I like hiding everything except categories, tags, and publish. I put categories and tags on the right, and publish under the post box.)……………………….. ……….   ” read more here

Update Blog to Wordpress version 2.5


2008
04.16

Wow, this morning I had a problem posting new items on the Blog. I didn’t know what was wrong. It could be two things. First something could be wrong with the database at my provider. Secondly something could be wrong with my Wordpress installation. 

I figured out that it probably had to do with Wordpress. I Googled around and found some more entries on the web about blank pages. It somehow related to PHP 4 or 5 or it had to do with the Wordpress Plug-Ins. So I decided to remove all the Plug-Ins all together, this didn’t help much, I still couldn’t post anything. I found out that I could do other database related stuff at that time, so now I knew it had to be Wordpress related. 

Wordpress self does not provide information about this problem, so I had to search and find on the web. Because I removed all the Plug-Ins and the problem still wasn’t solved, It had to be something else. Then I found a blog which described that you had to use the ’deactivate all’ plug-ins button. Since I had removed all plugins this button was not available. Darn $%^%&^@#. So I installed a new Plug-In and then I could use this descibed button  ’deactivate all’. 

This finally worked!!!!! ;-)

Thank you Google, and for Wordpress, keep up the documentation dudes!
