Hello, WordPress 2.5! (0)

While this wasn’t very surprising on the grand scheme of things, I was still a bit put off by the news when I read it in my favorite RSS software–NewsFire (Mac only).

That’s right, WordPress 2.5 is out and all the 2.5 RC2 testing I did was all for nothing but the fun of it. Great, I don’t mind!

Anyway, everything in yesterday’s post still applies. Keep in mind that wp-content is not to be deleted. In fact, if you somehow manage to delete it, make sure you restore it from backup before attempting the upgrade. If you accidentally delete your default theme, you will be greeted by the “white screen of death.” In order to remedy this, simply go into http://yourblog/wp-admin and select a different theme.

Weird, huh? continue reading »

This screencast inspired me to give the new version a try. On a side note, I hope Matt gets better in his dental situation (watch the screencast for more info). continue reading »
