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….

    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

    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.

    yes, its pretty surprising that something like that would not get caught.. we are talking about a huge amount of code, though..

    Any popular plugins in particular?

    I originally upgraded to the new version but there were some issues so I went back to the old version for now.

    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.

    Kind of a big fluke, thought, doncha think?

    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!

    scheduled, yea. But upgrading 7 blogs everything 3 months is actually a decent amount of work.

    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”

  15. Entrepreneur
    May 16, 2007 at 9:37 pm

    Yeah, I’m definitely going to upgrade once all the kinks have been worked out :)

    Some people were having problems with the widgets, namely top commentator lists disappearing.

    I plan to wait a little bit and let the hacks I have installed become 2.2 stable first.

    JC reported that the hard coded in sidebar widget thing is buggy, so he downgraded back to 2.1.3

    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.

    I heard there is a bug with the top commentators plugin and some sidebar widgets…from john chow’s blog

    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..

    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.

    Silly question, but where do you go to join their notification list?

    Hahah. Says a lot about his attention span, eh? Just a sentence and a half in and he would’ve had his answer…

    Read what this one has 200+ bug fixes, widget control, and a bunch of other nifty NEW features.

    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.

    Keep us updated if you find any bugs on those new installs.

    I usually wait a few weeks then upgrade. but glad to see the new release.

    I upgraded 3 of mine last night in about 5 minutes. Nothing broke. :)

    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…

    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

    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?

  34. Travel Notebook
    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?

  35. Link Snitch

    I meant “Shoemoney.com is now my source for all information. LOL”

    Need to learn to type.

    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.

  37. Florchakh
    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.

    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…

    And with that, waiting to update no longer means I’m update, but responsible. Thanks for the heads up fivecent.

    Good idea to wait… 2.2.1 should be just around the corner with some critical security fixes. ;)

    I haven’t tried WordPress with Widgets yet, so I am looking forward to that new feature.

    If the new ajax features work s described, it is worth it just for quicker spam deletion

  44. ShoeMoney

    This is actually a scheduled release upgrade.

  45. Thor Schrock

    Man another updat… I hope this one does more than the last one…

  46. Link Snitch

    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.
