Upgraded but I think the new tagging feature is too basic. Just got to wait for external plugins to come in sooner or later.

I think there are already plugins that do tagging, like there was one for technorati tags.

I'm holding out until all of the kinky WP Plug-in compatibility issues are worked out.

I upgraded and everything worked fine. I heard 2.3 changes the database schema a bit so I would make sure you have full backups of the existing install and database.

I upgraded and I only had issues with 2 plugins but other than that it was super easy.

Here is what one of the major Plug-in developers is going through as we write here about it on DP.

Wondering how many bloggers have actually gone ahead and switched to the latest release of wordpress, 2.3?

If you have switched, please do share your experience with it. Like if you had any problems getting the template or hacks to work with it.

I've switched and it's giving me problems. The DB didn't upgrade correctly so every time I write a post it gives me an error. The post gets published correctly but still...

I upgraded my entire network of sites. The only problems I had were with a couple plugins but I was able to work through those!

what do you all think of the new tag feature? I haven't upgraded it yet, but I've heard a lot of negative things about it.

I upgraded on my test blog and ran into some plugin compatibility problems. I'll wait for a minor update or two before trying it out on a live blog.

this usually happens when you have the sitemap plug-in installed, check that plug-in and upgrade it. I have this problem previously on posting and moderating comments but then after upgrading also the plug-ins, it worked.

I didn't bother yet. I don't want to lose time with re-modding my skins. So far I am pleased with the script as it is

most skins work with 2.3 if they worked for 2. and above

I still haven't upgraded. might do it the next update.

I switched most of mine. Be sure, if you are using the Google Sitemap plugin, update that first.. it will cause errors when posting or editing posts.

I haven't had many problems except for my custom themes. Those I will hire to be fixed later.

rozehrocks

Oct 2nd 2007, 5:51 pm

you mean, themes that worked on lower versions won't work anymore in 2.3?

ScottDaMan

Oct 2nd 2007, 6:39 pm

No, if they are done properly, they will work. I was talking about my custom themes which weren't done right.

rozehrocks

Oct 3rd 2007, 2:20 am

oh i see.

that's great (with the old theme still working) since I'm not planning in changing my layout.

The problem is plugins. Some are incompatible. Check wordpress.org for a compat list.
