Don’t Update to WordPress 2.6 So Fast
Thanks for visiting the Affiliate Tip blog. Subscribe to my RSS feed or enter your e-mail on the top left to get updates by e-mail.
WordPress 2.6 was released a few days ago, and it has lots of useful enhancements like a change log and word count.
But one thing you should definitely do before making the upgrade is check whether your important plugins are compatible with the new release.
I have lots of WordPress blogs, and was quickly getting them up to date without checking, and in the case of one of them, it was a big hassle of a mistake.
The GeekCast.fm site, where a bunch of affiliate marketing folks do podcasts, is somewhat reliant on the PodPress plugin.
If I would have searched for WordPress 2.6 PodPress, I would have seen lots of people complaining that the two didn’t work together.
Oh well, they promise to have a fix in a week or so, and I got a workaround together for the time being.
Lesson learned.

It's ways a good idea to wait a month or so after release before you upgrade wordpress. The new features are cool, but since upgrading I cannot access the advanced options on the post page. No clue why, it worked fine before.
reply to this commentI upgraded the next day after it was released. Only had one plugin that didn't work, but it was that big of a deal. I should wait from now on and not jump when it's released. Live and learn
