Reverted to a Backup (WordPress 2.10 Headaches)
Thursday
Jan 25, 2007
Sorry folks if you don’t see your comments on the comment threads. I had to revert to an older version of the blog’s database, and I had to manually re-publish the posts since January 10th. WP 2.10 was giving me headaches so I downgraded!
Actually, I haven’t been able to fix the behavior of the tag archives yet.
Please feel free to post comments.

problems like what? lost posts??? hehe or link_cat error something. WordPress 2.1 gave me 4 hours head ache with that and I found out that my theme wasn’t working well with the latest release from wp.
I followed this site: here to be able to fix those problems

Yeah, I first realized that Ultimate Tag Warrior (UTW) doesn’t work properly with WP 2.1. Then I realized my theme itself was incompatible–or at least the live search and live comment functions. So now you might notice my blog no longer has live search nor live comments.
However, when I reverted to 2.07 UTW was having problems again, particularly with displaying tag archives. I had to revert to an old UTW version (2.88) and do some .htaccess hacks so friendly tag URLs would work (an issue that’s not supposed to be there with UTW 3++).

I guess, you’ll have to wait for a little bit more for plug-in compatibility.
buti nalang po ako walang masyadong plug-ins hehe. kaya konting fix lang sa theme codes (changing codes from the link posted). suprisingly it works.
Yung una asar ako eh kasi pag click ko yung post ko, not found daw then pag back ko no post found on a said category (wala na mga post ko!) yun pala talagang maring new wp codes na bago na incompitble with the theme i’m using. ngayon po ok na.

Good thing I did not upgrade yet because I am afraid that it might mess up my blog.

It was a blessing in disguise that my attempt to upgrade didn’t work. I was spared by headaches that had been discussed in some mailing lists. It is quite disappointing after the hype that this new version does not work with some plug-ins. I read that if you want them to work, you can ask the plug-in authors to upgrade. Hmmm…oh well…

Problems with WP 2.1? Hmmm…good thing I haven’t upgraded yet. I was also worried that I might be having problems with the new version. I’m using WP 2.1 on my dream blog, though. I haven’t encountered any problems just yet. But I’m just able to say that because I’ve only started the dream blog
Hey, are you related to Dr. Jay Racoma? Are you his brother or something?

Tess, Jay is my first cousin. Doctor, huh?
I think he’s on his residency (in the US??)
Guys, be sure to check out the plugin compatibility lists first. Still, you SHOULD backup your entire WP database before trying an upgrade.

I slept so late last night because upgrading gave me so much problems, and I got so frustrated because I didn’t get any problems when I upgraded my other blogs. Until I learned that I also have to upgrade my category visibility plugin… and my page posts are showing at my archives! *sigh*

a huge headache talaga but we can’t blame WP. Dami kasing bago eh especially yung locationg ng links and archives. wow sakit sa ulo buti may nakita akong site na nakalagay yung new codes for sidebar, index etc..
exs
WP2.0: wp_list_cats()
WP2.1: wp_list_categories()
and
WP2.0: get_settings()
WP2.1: get_options()

Good to see that you got things back in order. I’d wait it out for the plugins to update for 2.1. Dreamhost hasn’t adopted this release either.

I also encountered some hurdles upgrading to 2.1. It took me several hours before I was able to restore my blog from a backup.
