I’ve just updated this site to WordPress 2.8, using my favorite method for handling a WordPress install, Subversion. Here’s what I typed at the command line to upgrade:
svn switch http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.8/
Once that was complete, I logged into my admin panel and completed the DB upgrade, then I had to check some plugins. I had these problems/changes:
- TinyMCE Advanced had an update available, so I did that,
- One Click Plugin Updater seems to clash with the new Plugins page, and I don’t really need it now anyway since its functionality is in core, so I deactivated it and then deleted it
- IntenseDebate seems to clash with some of the JavaScript now used in the admin, but I work with those guys now, so I’m working on a new version of the plugin to address those issues! My comments are a bit ugly while I deal with this, but I figure that’s a good motivation to get it done ASAP.
Have you upgraded yet?
As a follow up to the post (and as a test post 😉 ), the new version of IntenseDebate is available now, and is compatible with WP 2.8, plus has a load of other improvements etc.
Hi Beau,
Thanks for the informative post regarding 2.8
I have recently upgraded my blog to the latest 2.8 from 2.5 I think.
Did some plug in updates and the rest of the upgrade went smoothly.
2.8 is lot better then previous versions as well as the easy upgrade options for the core and modules, great!

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
