A Wordpress Gripe
I updated to Wordpress 2.6 today, and again, I’m amazed at the tediousness of it. I’m suprised that they haven’t mastered a good way of doing this. For example, the guys at SMF have a system in place that either remembers or you type in your FTP password, and it updates your SMF installation. Granted, Wordpress now has this functionality for updating plugins, but not the base system yet.
What gives?

I used the WordPress Automatic Updater plugin. It didn’t re-enable the plugins like it was supposed to, but the rest was easy.
By the way, Name and Mail above have a yellow background and I can’t see what I typed into each box.
Wow RT, a nice find, and an easy sell.
It’s installed now.
Also, I think one of my plugins wasn’t working, looks fine now.
Thanks!
Looks fine in IE, but in Fx3 it’s still yellow. I cleared the cache to be sure.
I think it’s one of your Firefox extensions, I just tried it from here with me logged out, I don’t see it.
I upgraded one of my blog successfully no problems. But the other one is heavily modified so I can’t upgrade it without losing the changes I made.
Also, I have spoken to a few people that have had problems installing 2.6
I’m still on the older version of wordpress. I’m a little unsure whether to move on to 2.6 at the moment in case it gets unstable or something.
Well, I like v2.6 just fine, it’s worth the upgrade.
