Upgraded to WP 1.5.2
14th August 2005
Logged into my blog this evening after a Sunday night of entertaining with friends. My wife cooked up a storm and invited several friends from our old church who have been in touch with our family. These are especially close friends who provided us with moral, spiritual, social, and even financial support during our most difficult times. We had way too much food, a lot of laughter, a lot of good fellowship and they all got the opportunity to say goodbye and wish my daughter well as she prepares to set off to the Big Apple in a couple of weeks.
Anyway, I was saying that I logged in to do some blogging when I was distracted by this message about the security upgrade to WP 1.5.2, so adventurous soul that I am, I took a deep breathe and said, “Let’s go for it!”
Unlike my previous upgrades, I decided to follow the instructions verbatim and not do any more than was instructed (previously I made a couple of backups, stopped all plugins and so on). This time it went quite smoothly, except for the fact that right after the upgrade, I lost my nice permalinks to my post. I had to restore the .htacess file in order to get the permalinks structure to work again. I don’t know why the documentation does not address that. I will post a question up at the very well supported and very friendly WP Support site and see what the gurus have to say about that. Other than that, I think the upgrade went quite smoothly. The most time was taken by the backup process itself. The actual upgrade took less than 10 minutes.
Please let me know if you find anything that is broken here!
