Well, having just updated my WordPress to 2.6 I must say it is not smooth sailing. If you have upgraded then i suggest you check your permalinks. Just click on any of your posts and make sure they open up in their own page.
A lot of blogs are finding that the permalinks are not working after the upgrade. If your blog is affected, you will need to go into the permalinks options – settings/permalinks from your dashboard – near the bottom of the page are two new additions – categories and tags. Just enter some text in each – the words categories and tags will do – save and if you have wp-cache enabled, clear the cache and try the links again. It should be fine.
Otherwise, the upgrade seems to be working fine – however your the reader so you can tell me if you notice anything unusual. A few neat things about 2.6 – you will see a bubble on the Plugins link telling you of any updates pending – that is handy. Before switching themes you can preview in private before sending it public – that is handy.
Let me know if you come across any problems with the update.
I agree with you that the plugin bubble and the theme demo are way cool. Your site looks great to me! No problems with it here.
That’s great that they added a theme preview. It’s been lacking for far too long, but at least we had a plugin we could use to check them out.
Wow, I have to admit I just had a mini heart attack after reading this post. I couldn’t get to my site fast enough and check those permalinks. I realized I hadn’t bothered checking them since my upgrade yesterday. I got lucky, it looks like everything is working ok. I’m glad to have a place to learn of these kind of issues and possible fixes. Nice post.
