OMG… so many bugs.
I should have not upgraded.
I dont like the interface too.
I think the interface is great. I personally love to see people/organizations trying to push technological boundaries. I also think wordpress as a platform is an ideal project in which to encompass these new technologies.
Progress won’t necessarily appeal to everybody, but eventually everybody will haqve to upgrade to stay current with technology streams. Be happy that this is not a Microsoft product. Can you imagine?
Sigh… I literally upgraded to 2.5 yesterday. Why is that always the way?
it takes 2 seconds
not that difficult
for who? is fantastico up to date? seems most places have not updated the panel/fantastico combo if fantastico is up to date…
Install the Auto Upgrade plugin. Press the button and upgrade.
Where is this mysterious auto update plugin you speak of? I could of course do a quick google search for this,. However it’s saturday morning I’m hungover and feeling lazy
Is there an easier way to upgrade? I”ve only done it once, and it took quite a while since I don’t know what I’m going.
Back up first, then delete, then reinstall, then re-import.
I havent even upgraded to 2.5 yet….I am still waiting, for like dunno what lol. I think I will do it this weekend or next week….and what is this auto upgrade plugin? please help.
I’ll upgrade right now. How can I change the theme for WP 2.5?
I upgraded to 2.5.1 in about 2 seconds like Shoe said… auto upgrade plugin FTW!
Sorry, where did you get this plugin?
Grrr. I, too, just finished upgrading to 2.5 for all of my sites (due to hackers inserting malware into my php) and each time it took at least 20 minutes for each and I had to redo all the header and footer code and re-ftp the custom header and mess with plugins and some other crap.
Thanks for the info.
ahhh yes… and this is why I have yet to update my wordpress.. even though it takes like 2 seconds.. i shall still wait about a month more till i update..
Thank you for the update.
I will update soon. I like the new version but I care about security too.
I heart Subversion!
[...] is a generally important upgrade anyhow. There’s a security issue that isn’t public yet, and they’d rather see people fix it before it becomes an issue [...]
Thanks for the update. I caught it on your Twitter feed.
Do you know where i can get good instructions for upgrading without fantastico?
Very easy upgrade, even though I upgraded manually. I’ll definately be looking into the upgrade plugin though
It is simple to upgrade even without the auto upgrade plugin, although I’m not as fast as those of you who do it in 2 seconds.

70 bug fixes! wow…
It only sucks when your installed with services like fantastico that seem to take weeks to show changes in current versions for install / upgrade.
That’s the annoying bit. Fantastico is always a week or so behind the curve.
Hey I know how you guys feel with the tedium of upgrade but remember they are usually months apart and essential to keep your site secure from Malware and Hackers.
Think of it as just another day in the life of a blogger!
Update only took less then a few mins. It was painless-
Read about this in many other blogs too.. Will have to upgrade now!
I just had to log on to wordpress to know about it since it says right up top when your Wordpress version needs updating, but it’s good when blogs post it I guess for those that don’t read their dashboard when they log in
wwwwwow lots of bugs got squashed with this update!
How to do this upgrade ?
fantastico - still not available…
thanks for the update man y i upgraded to 2.5 :S i have to upgrade it again now :S
In fact, it is very easy!
Download wordpress 2.5.1
Upload it on your web folder
Go to /wp-login
Press a Button
Done!
OMG! Do you want to say that 2.5 has 70 bugs? Is that why there is SEVENTY bug fixes in 2.5.1.?
O_O
Updating is the urgent case!
Damn updates are annoying
It seems like they come up with one every two weeks.
It is awesome to see the enthusiasts and users of a tool like wordpress interact and inform each other of important updates and the like. Truly viral in my opinion.
Thanks for the heads up I will use.
yes right, update wordpress will also increase for security blog
Great info here, thanks!
But it makes slow when you post your posting. Have any body face the same problem with me?
I’m not liking Wordpress 2.5 anyway. I feel like 2.3 was more user-friendly.
Looks like it was already found a bug in 2.5.1. When you forget your password, ask for a new one and WP sends you a link to click. this links don’t work.
I wish I hadn’t upgraded to 2.5. I knew better. Every upgrade they come out with is followed by security and bug fixes!
I have no idea but my comments arent appearing with name “Mayank”…so I am trying back the old name “Mayank Rocks”
It’s nice to see the gravatar built into the 2.5 versions.
hahah, imaging if it was Microsoft. Well at least Wordpress takes responsibility and updates regularily
Hey Shoe, you posted earlier about the issue of pre-2.33 blogs being compromised by the hijacking of the admin cookie. You recommended a *clean* install of 2.33, rather than an upgrade to 2.33.
Fast forwarding to now, if my 2.33 blog was infected with SQL injected spam in the same way as above, should I do a *clean install* of 2.5.1, or will simply *upgrading* to 2.5.1 solve the problem?
Thank you sire!
i really like the very last version!
this is why i stuck with the version that best suits me
How can i make money i have no income at all.
You have to stay up to date.
Or be thrown int a pit of haxors who will have their way with your site
menacing laugh
Hm, not bad…guys are not sleeping.
A week ago I got 2.5 version…now it is time to get 2.5.1…or to wait for 2.5.2 better???
