Permalinks Bug for Wordpress 2.6

Friday, July 25th, 2008

The moment I upgraded to Wordpress 2.6, permalinks don’t work anymore. It keeps telling me 404, whatever links I pressed.

I jumped onto Wordpress support forum, and found this bug report.

Wordpress developers have suggested a few fixes for it, and I went with the ‘advanced users only’ fix.

The fix is available here, upload the related files to where they are supposed to be, overwrite them with the old files. When I refreshed my dashboard, it’s asking me to do another database upgrade, do it, and voila.

At the bottom of my dashboard, it says:

Thank you for creating with WordPress | Documentation | Feedback | You are using a development version (2.7-bleeding). Cool! Please stay updated.

Wordpress 2.6

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Finally upgraded to Wordpress 2.6, with a few interesting features.

I’m not going to do what everyone has done a while ago (ie explaining, and re-introducing the new features of Wordpress 2.6), have a look at Wordpress’ blog for that.

Upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

I have upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1, in a few easy steps based on the Codex article:

  1. Backup database (using phpMyAdmin, in my case)
  2. Backup wp-contents folder (where I have my themes and plugins)
  3. Deactivate all the plugins
  4. Delete wp-includes and wp-admin folder
  5. Upload new WordPress files and overwrite the old ones
  6. If you lost your wp-contents folder, you can always re-upload it using the backup you had.
  7. Go to http://yoururl/wp-admin/upgrade.php to complete the upgrade
