Any of you who run Wordpress know about the newest upgrade, 2.5, and the problems that have cropped up after its release. None of my blogs are running it yet. I did a clean install on a new database for testing, and the only problem I’ve come across is the image loader feature. I didn’t use the earlier versions of the loader because all the pics I use on all my blogs are in one “community” folder. It requires a bit more typing to put in the addresses and tag attributes, but it’s the simplest solution and I haven’t had any problems doing it that way.

As far as plugins are concerned, the new version seems to get along fine with them. An updated version the Comment Quicktags plugin will be used; the only difference from the old one is that there’s a toggle button to show or hide the formatting buttons. Neat little feature, but it will take a little getting used to. The only plugin I haven’t installed is Spam Karma 2, and I don’t know if it will work with the new upgrade yet. 2.5 didn’t break the theme, which is good. The widgets in the sidebar work (if you remember they need individual names).

I want to wait until 2.5.1 comes out. In the meantime, I might upgrade the smallest blog first to minimize the damage if there is any.
