WordPress 2.7 Rocks!!!

WordPress 2.7

WordPress 2.7

This blog, Nigerian Entrepreneur is powered by  WordPress 2.7. I am really excited to say a big kudos to the WordPress Team for the newest version of the WordPress CMS software. It is truly an excellent piece of software. The WordPress Team truly kept their promise of Auto WordPress Upgrade. Since I upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.7, I have not had any issue with the new version of the blogging software. Indeed so many tasks have been simplified, and I am just in love with the ease of use.

For example, I can easily respond to comments or edit them as needed. Also, upgrading has never been easier. Every plugin on Nigerian Entrepreneur is up to date because updating plugins now takes just a click of the mouse.  So easy! 😉

What really got me excited was the upgrade from WordPress 2.7 to WordPress 2.7.1 The whole upgrade took less than 2minutes and I can hardly say I played any other role other than a single mouse click.  The transition was so smooth and faultless.  As a non-tech, this is good news and am very excited. It simply means I can concentrate fully on what I love doing, blogging while the software does the technical stuff for me. A big thanks to the WordPress Team. WordPress 2.7 Rocks !!! 😉

WordPress 2.7

WordPress 2.7

Nigerian Entrepreneur is now powered by the new WordPress 2.7! I first noticed the update prompt on my blog admin dashboard yesterday. It may have been there before then, but it was yesterday I noticed it. I took a mental note to Google and find out if anybody was having a hitch upgrading from WordPress 2.6.5 to WordPress 2.7 I was not ready as at then to meddle with my blog setup, having experienced some WordPress upgrade headache in time past.

This morning, I decided to take the bull by the horn and upgrade (I was ready for any eventualities that may crop up). After backing up, I started the Automatic Upgrade Plugin. Frankly, I was not expecting the upgrade to be smooth since WordPress 2.7 is a major upgrade (more…)

How I solved my WordPress 2.6.1 Upgrade Error

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

I just realize that a lot of bloggers are still having issues with their upgrade to WordPress 2.6.1. When I upgraded, I had a problem, the upgrade was partially successful. I made a post about it WordPress 2.6.0 to 2.6.1 another upgrade headache .  The effect of that partial success was my inability to edit some of my previous posts. I searched the web and eventually, I a solution.

These are the exact steps I used in resolving the issue:

  1. I made a back-up of my blog (this is very important, you can never tell, better to be careful than sorry)
  2. I downloaded WordPress 2.6.1 unto my desktop and extract the files and folders.
  3. I put the blog into maintenance mode using the maintenance mode plugin.
  4. I used an FTP software to rename my wp-admin folder to wp-admin0 and wp-includes to wp-includes0.
  5. I uploaded wp-admin and wp-includes folders from the WordPress 2.6.1 on my desktop to my site using the FTP software.
  6. I removed the site from maintenance mode. (more…)

Future WordPress Upgrades Will Be Automated!

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

The WordPress Team has promised that future upgrading of the core files of WordPress will be automated. There will be no need to employ plugins when upgrading from one version of WordPress to a newer version. I take it that it will translate into less upgrade hitches. You can read the article here Features Planned For WordPress 2.7.

Since my last upgrade from WordPress 2.6 to 2.61, my blog has been having hitches. The upgrade was partially successful. Read the post here WordPress 2.6 to 2.6.1 Another Upgrade Headache. Right from the day I upgraded to the new version, I noticed that my blog loading time has dramatically increased and some things are not just working well.  (more…)

WordPress 2.6.0 to 2.6.1 another Upgrade Headache!

Monday, August 18th, 2008

I love WordPress, not just because it is free (everybody loves freebies, don’t you?), but because it is a great software that produce beautiful websites. However, I gets scared whenever there is need to upgrade to a newer version. I often experience WordPress Upgrade Headache! 

I was complaining that the frequent release of new versions is getting me frustrated. But the tech guys advised that it is for my own good. Well, I have swallowed that, but then the upgrade has never been smooth and it seems the WordPress team are not doing anything about it. I don’t mean to be ungrateful, afterall, I am not paying for their service, but then, there are too many users having problem with upgrading. (more…)
