WordPress issues 2.5 v 2.6
July 16th, 2008
When I migrated from one host to another last week, I downloaded the latest version of the software (2.5.1) and installed it. This went very smoothly and all my posts from my old blog (was probably version 2.1?) came through.
Earlier today I went to add a new post and realised that the admin page was missing the most important buttons (Write, Manage, Design, Comments) which basically meant I couldn’t do anything!
I spent over an hour googling and looking through WP’s forums but found nothing that would explain this except references to old versions of plugi-ns (which I wasn’t using).
A few posts by WP staff on WP’s forum seemed top point the fault at the user and not the software. The thing is that I didn’t touch my blog since I did a fresh install of WP 2.5.1.
Anyways, I had to intsall the new version (2.6) and it all fell into place.
The only good thing was that I had a back up of my WP blog, otherwise I’d have lost some data here.
Doesn’t look great for WP or maybe it’s one of those things that happens to software (!!).
