WordPress 2.1 … To upgrade or not leh? Finally I did it.
My old WordPress was in version 1.5.2 :LOL: Yup it’s that old. I’ve upgraded once before and it took me one hell of a time to do it. Scary and nightmarish.
The other day Narrowband gave me some tips on upgrading/installing WordPress using Fantastico and I decided to try it out. Yes it’s so simple. Aiyooo now I can upgrade anytime I want. Narrowband, thank you!
Any hiccups for my new WordPress 2.1? Well actually there ARE.
1. Blogroll fail (solved it liao!)
2. More-Smilies plugin fail (install latest version, solved!)
3. My Technorati ‘Quick Tags’ Tag missing (solved it by installing a new quicktags plugin coz no idea why if I write my own code in quicktags.js cannot work)
4. Some of my quicktags such as CA-Picker plugin and additional tags that I added are not visible in Write Post but visible only after I have save the post. (no idea why!!!)
But anyway, they are all minor glitch. So hurrah… :party:

Hmmm… I wonder I should upgrade mine or not. :party:
I happily blog without caring about all of these … as long as my words get out there … everything else is secondary.
Still … congratulations. I don’t see any difference … so … that must be sign of a successful upgrade ?
narrowband is ur superhero!
Come email me what’s the trick narrowband taught. :hehe:
Neo, yours now is what version?
Moz Monster, weh weh you upgraded to Blogspot latest version didn’t you? :tongue:
Wuching, he sure is. :star:
Bryan, secret! where can tell you. :tongue: Don’t be jealous you’re my hero too. Thanks for everything. :hug:
Wuah…1.52 oso got ah? LOL, so lauyah version you can upgrade to 2.1 without glitches? Terror lah lu! I oso upgraded all my blogs. So many until close eyes oso can do liao.
Haha! Before you email that to anyone, maybe it’s good to ask if their inbox have enough space! lol.
Ur welcome, btw. Glad u got it up and running. I haven’t really explored WP 2.1, although I upgraded it it in my test blog.
So… do you recommend the upgrade? I still think the backing-up process is abit leceh. Hai…
:applause: cayalah che-cheh
Lilian, hahaha becoz I’m lazy. But since I know the short cut liao then no harm upgrading it everytime. :laughing: You use Fantastico too right?
Narrowband, I don’t see much changes after upgrade but just upgrade la. Hey upgrading is easy what? Just click the “Generate/Download a full backup” link at C Panel and it will generate a backup for the whole of our database and posts. Then you can save it in your PC directory.
Mo-C, hehe I’m not good la. Ask people for advise baru tau.
Mine is still 1.5xx lei.. wahaha… :cow:
Neo, ohh then upgrade la.
:applause: clever girl!!! i still tak berani….lol :laughing: by the way, i’ve always been intrigued by how u all the ‘tag’. do u have to manually add it. i just cant seem to understand how it works at all. i tried using that delicious thingy but gave up half way coz i had to re-do all the tag and add one by one to my post. to u think that tags are useful? email me ya? :blush:
Yvy, I use a plugin called SimpleTags = http://www.broobles.com/scripts/simpletags/. I also added a ‘Tag’ button at my WP quicktags. Therefore I don’t have to tag it manually every time. Most people said it’s useful. I’ve seen some search from technorati tags landing on my site…so ‘quite’ useful.
p/s: quicktags are shortcut buttons found in your WP write post screen. Eg. b = bold, i = italic, link = insert link
