Not So Awesome After All
The upgrade to the latest version of WordPress completely broke the administrative section of my blog. I couldn’t find the problem initially and gave up without really trying. Since the main page, posts and comments worked fine I didn’t revert to a backup and put off the fixing for later, even though I couldn’t post or approve any new comments.
I would have gotten around to doing it eventually if I had not started working at a software development company early in December (see next post). I really didn’t have the energy or interest to fix the blog so as usual I asked George to do it.
He got it working again and I was able to reactive some plugins and the shoutbox that I had deactivated as a precaution. I’m currently unable to provide threaded comments (even though WordPress now supports it) since the theme has to support it and I doubt I could add this functionality easily. I’m still going to try though… when I get the time.
