Wordpress 2.5 install and update

March 30th, 2008 · No Comments

I have to say this is the easiest of all the Wordpress upgrades I’ve done.  Previously I had troubles if I didn’t delete the previous Wordpress install.  Not this time.

I upgraded 8 blogs today.  I just ftp’d the new files up to the server and everything went painlessly.  Database upgrades took mear seconds, all the plugins I have installed work.  The automatic update plugin worked flawlessly.

I find I like the new dashboard much more than I thought I would.  I played with the release candidates last week and was so so on the new dash.  However I find in actual use it is greatly improved.

The new editor alone is worth the upgrade.  This one remembers where the line breaks and paragraphs are located.

The new multimedia is not yet ready to replace Coppermine or other galleries of that sort as I hoped but has greatly improved the ease of storage and embedding multimedia into your site.

I think it is a huge improvement over 2.3.x and highly recommend it.
