Upgraded to WordPress 2.9 and your simple tags plugin stopped working? Here’s a quick fix till the author releases a new version.

// Check version.
global $wp_version;
if ( strpos($wp_version, '2.7') !== false || strpos($wp_version, '2.8') !== false ) {
require(dirname(__FILE__).'/2.7/simple-tags.client.php');

Change it to;

// Check version.
global $wp_version;
if ( strpos($wp_version, '2.7') !== false || strpos($wp_version, '2.8') !== false || strpos($wp_version, '2.9') !== false ) {
require(dirname(__FILE__).'/2.7/simple-tags.client.php');

Basically add “|| strpos($wp_version, ’2.9′) !== false” at the end of the if statement.

Just finished updating to WordPress 2.6 today. Here’s a few features which caught my extension.

  • There’s a new recycle bin feature now called “trash”. You get to undelete posts, you get the idea.
  • There’s a new built in image editor. You can crop,flip,scale any image you upload.
  • Batch plugin updates. Finally, you get to update all your outdated plugins in one go.
  • Oembed, embed videos directly into posts now without the need for extra plugins. Just paste your video’s url and wordpress will automatically embed it into your post.

For the full list read Matt’s post on WordPress 2.9.

Download WordPress 2.9 now.

WordPress 2.7.1 is out. The release comes with 68 fixes.

For more info on the changes you look at the list for fixed tickets and the full change log.

Upgrade’s a breeze with the new auto upgrade function. If you get a timeout issue, try this fix. Increased my timeout to 120 and the upgrade completed successfully.

Alternatively, you could still upgrade the manual way by downloading WordPress and upgrading over ftp. If you need help refer to the manuals to install or upgrade.
