Finally got around to upgrading the site this morning, and OMG is it slow around here, or what?!?
I’m going to see if I can get rid of some of the 2.2.whatever bloat and speed things up :wink2:
Ooh, I almost forgot! There’s a chance I’ll get to see Narayan this weekend. He’s coming back to the USA today and will pass through on his way to his mom’s house. Yay!
Site update news:
You will no longer receive emails whenever someone posts a comment, even if you were previously subscribed. The plugin that allowed that is no longer compatible with WP 2.1. Sorry. 😥 In other news, I may not receive emails that you have commented to my posts, so if there’s a delay in me commenting back, well, there you have it.
I did find what may be the find of the century to help me receive notifications, though. The WP-PHPMailer plugin seems to be working just fine behind the scenes, and after my ALL DAY quest to conquer this problem (including 2 unsuccessful forum posts and 3 very unsuccessful phone calls to tech support), I need this to work for my sanity’s sake.
If you don’t mind, leave a comment to this post saying just about anything you feel like saying so I can see if I get the email. Please? :clown:
Testing out the new WordPress 2.1/Live+Press compatability. Using my quick fix seems to work, but on a test post, I didn’t get my mood icon to show. Let’s see if it does this time….
[Edit–obviously, it works 🙂 ]
I use Live+Press to mix my site here with a little Livejournal. The original plugin was made by the hugely talented Unteins, but hasn’t really been updated much since. He includes a link to a fix that has been working for me since the WordPress 1.5-2.0 era. Now that WordPress 2.1 is coming, with many changes, of course, Live+Press doesn’t like it. On my test site, I have Live+Press working again, but only under one quirky condition. In order to have the options appear on a new post, I have to type the title of the post and press “Enter”. The new posting page, rather than being called post.php, is post-new.php and LP is not made to work with that file. I edited the core plugin files, but I didn’t know what the hell I was doing, so the options appeared, but didn’t work. One extra “Enter” doesn’t bother me, but I hope someone will fix this plugin soon. I know it’s going to be an easy fix, but I’ve already proven I won’t be the one to do it.
In summation, for anyone with an already functional install of Live+Press, for WordPress 2.1, type the title of your new post, press “Enter” (which brings up the old post.php?action=edit&post=xx) and continue as always. :wink2:
