Upgrading to WordPress 2.7 beta 3
Posted by clifgriffin in Technology on November 15th, 2008
Today a mixture of boredom and curiousity compelled me to take the plunge with WordPress 2.7 beta. Humorously, I did two upgrades today. By the time I had installed WordPress 2.7 beta 2, beta 3 was released.
The upgrade process was extremely smooth and I experienced no major problems. It’s a follow the instructions type of upgrade. This is even easier in WordPress 2.7 as upgrade functionality is now built in. (Go to Tools -> Update)
As WordPress 2.7 has backwards compatibility with themes built for previous versions, I had no issues on that front either. The hardest part was implementing new features, like comment threading. I found this guide to be very helpful.
This is not the easiest process. Most likely you’re going to be upgrading a theme you didn’t write (as I was) so go through these instructions carefully. I somehow managed to finish them with no major set backs but some of it was just guess work. I finished by changing some styling on the comment threading, implementing an arrow icon (
) and playing with the size of the textarea for comments. (I had to change it to a relative width due to the inline replies)
The process was simple enough that I would recommend advanced users give it a go. Let me know what issues you run into.
Comments out of order in WordPress 2.7?
Posted by clifgriffin in Technology on January 9th, 2009
I have opened up a discussion on wordpress.org about comments getting out of order in WordPress 2.7. So far, it seems to effect the zero level comments in threaded discussions. We have yet to trace it to a repeatable scenario, but the evidence is clear. For example:
This is a fictional example but demonstrates the problems we’re seeing. This may lead to a official bug trac. If you have noticed this issue, please join the discussion. We need more examples to figure out what is causing this.
Update:
Commenter Gh. Alex has figured out how to replicate this error on any post. From his comment on wordpress forums:
Needless to say, we’ll be opening up a bug report with WordPress.
