Wordpress 2.2 has just been released. I will probably upgrade sometime in the next week or so. I usually wait atleast a week in case….
Hi I am Jeremy Schoemaker and ShoeMoney.com is my blog. 99% of the post here are done by me but you will see others occasionally make guest posts. This blog is fun to write but for my day job I run several online companies.

As long as the Adsense Plugin works, i dont worry about the others, temporarily
May 30, 2007 at 2:29 pm
Ditto !
I had an ordeal when I updated SMF 1.2 and the older themes would just not obey *grrr* I had to reinstall SMF 1.1
May 30, 2007 at 2:27 pm
I guess thatz fixed now. Check the Wordpress blog.

Thanks for the update Shoe. I plugged you, by the way, on this post http://martyblogs.blogspot.com/2007/05/transition-to-wordpress-is-looking.html yesterday on MartyBLOGs. Fortunately my wait is built in. I’m not planning on swapping over until June anyway.
Thanks again……Marty

I also never go with the newest update, better is to wait when initial bugs are fixed.
May 18, 2007 at 8:54 pm
yes, its pretty surprising that something like that would not get caught.. we are talking about a huge amount of code, though..
May 18, 2007 at 8:53 pm
there’s a box on wordpress.org to put in your e-mail address..
May 18, 2007 at 6:14 pm
Any popular plugins in particular?
May 17, 2007 at 4:25 pm
I originally upgraded to the new version but there were some issues so I went back to the old version for now.
May 17, 2007 at 2:57 pm
I do the same thing. I wait until others install it and, if there is a problem with it, I end waiting until the fix is final and then I update.
May 17, 2007 at 5:29 am
Kind of a big fluke, thought, doncha think?
May 17, 2007 at 12:34 am
I found other WP users complaining of buggy widgets. I certainly wouldn’t get in a hurry to upgrade. Besides, I just upgraded about a month ago. Not all of my WP blogs are on one click host’s!

May 16, 2007 at 11:37 pm
scheduled, yea. But upgrading 7 blogs everything 3 months is actually a decent amount of work.
May 16, 2007 at 9:38 pm
Yeah, I don’t think anyone is blaming them, we’re just saying “We’re going to air on the side of caution and wait til it’s stable”
May 16, 2007 at 9:37 pm
Yeah, I’m definitely going to upgrade once all the kinks have been worked out
May 16, 2007 at 9:34 pm
Some people were having problems with the widgets, namely top commentator lists disappearing.
May 16, 2007 at 8:55 pm
I plan to wait a little bit and let the hacks I have installed become 2.2 stable first.
May 16, 2007 at 4:41 pm
JC reported that the hard coded in sidebar widget thing is buggy, so he downgraded back to 2.1.3
May 16, 2007 at 4:10 pm
I read the post obviously. I know he is running several blogs so anyone of them could be upgraded and not necessarily this one. When he first switched to this design I could have sworn it was a stripped down version of Drupal but that is probably just because I use it very often.
May 16, 2007 at 3:49 pm
I heard there is a bug with the top commentators plugin and some sidebar widgets…from john chow’s blog
May 16, 2007 at 1:33 pm
They made some changes around v2.10 or so that changed how the internal links and stuff works. Now instead of lists of links it is more like a tagged blogroll. I kind of like the older version better..
May 16, 2007 at 11:09 am
Yeah, a few ‘minor’ issues that are accompanied by instructions that all users should upgrade pronto or else something horrible will happen when hackers take over your server. Yes, I’m being a bit facetious here. But just a bit.
May 16, 2007 at 11:08 am
Silly question, but where do you go to join their notification list?
May 16, 2007 at 11:07 am
Hahah. Says a lot about his attention span, eh? Just a sentence and a half in and he would’ve had his answer…
May 16, 2007 at 10:43 am
Read what this one has 200+ bug fixes, widget control, and a bunch of other nifty NEW features.
May 16, 2007 at 9:57 am
WP is usually pretty good about not releasing things that are totally buggy. A few minor issues are to be expected. Just added upgrading to the “to do” list.
May 16, 2007 at 9:40 am
Keep us updated if you find any bugs on those new installs.
May 16, 2007 at 9:20 am
I usually wait a few weeks then upgrade. but glad to see the new release.
May 16, 2007 at 9:19 am
I upgraded 3 of mine last night in about 5 minutes. Nothing broke.
May 16, 2007 at 8:29 am
it’s two sentences too long!
May 16, 2007 at 8:28 am
Well, the last one was a fluke because they had someone intentionally put in backdoors and crap… hopefully things are vetted better now. One of the risks of open source…
May 16, 2007 at 7:26 am
I still think it’s funny that no matter how many times I’ve entered my email in their notification list.. I’ve never been notified. Thanks Shoe! Let us know when you’ve upgraded so we can see if your site still stands afterwards =P
May 16, 2007 at 6:54 am
Dear Travel Notebook,
Nope, it’s running wordpress. Shoe said himself he will upgrade in the next week or so. Oh! of course why would you read a 3 sentence post?
May 16, 2007 at 6:20 am
There are already some bugs floating around in this version but I guess you will always have bugs. I wont upgrade for a while anyways..
This blog is running Drupal isnt it?
May 16, 2007 at 5:59 am
I meant “Shoemoney.com is now my source for all information. LOL”
Need to learn to type.
May 16, 2007 at 5:23 am
No problem. Use WP for long enough and you’ll notice the pattern: Major release, wait a few days, major bug fix. It’s a pretty complex bit of code, so you can’t necessarily blame them. And they *are* good about get those patches out the door.
May 16, 2007 at 4:16 am
Sure thing.
However, I’m waiting, too. I don’t like updating process, so it’s better to wait till they show another important-as-hell security update.
May 16, 2007 at 4:07 am
Widgets suck. Seriously. I don’t like being not allowed to use a plugin without Dashboard, once activated. They are great, but only for noobs, I think…
May 15, 2007 at 10:27 pm
*means I’m lazy
Gotta get some sleep. (#);D
May 15, 2007 at 10:26 pm
And with that, waiting to update no longer means I’m update, but responsible. Thanks for the heads up fivecent.
May 15, 2007 at 9:56 pm
Good idea to wait… 2.2.1 should be just around the corner with some critical security fixes.
May 15, 2007 at 9:50 pm
I haven’t tried WordPress with Widgets yet, so I am looking forward to that new feature.
May 15, 2007 at 7:59 pm
If the new ajax features work s described, it is worth it just for quicker spam deletion
May 15, 2007 at 7:54 pm
This is actually a scheduled release upgrade.
May 15, 2007 at 7:45 pm
Man another updat… I hope this one does more than the last one…
May 15, 2007 at 7:43 pm
What is so funny, is that I learned about the update from you. Shoemoney.com is not my source for all information. LOL
BTW: I think I will wait a few days also.
