WordPress 2.5 Discussion Thread

Thank you but I already know NextGen gallery

Wordpress 2.5 was supposed to come with a built in photo gallery

 

I had noticed when I upload a new picture, there is a gallery option. I havent used it though....

 

Its the best release so far for wordpress!

 

It has.... its under Manage- "Media"

 

Yep ! Thank you

And you have "Add media" when you write posts

It's buggy on the current theme I'm using to test WP 2.5

 

Woah, I installed beta versions of WP 2.5 files on a test server every week over the last couple of months and have noticed a considerable number of bugs have been fixed for the official release. However, duly noted - there are still several bugs present, which I have also reported on the bugs form

 

I like it. More features than other blog software. Easy to control. etc.

 

I also noticed several bugs

Do you know when the major bugs will be fixed?

 

Unfortunately not - at the rate those guys work, I shouldn't expect it to be very long, within a couple of weeks probably.

There's so little themes available which are compatible with WP 2.5...so I'm off to create one

 

Abs true. I just upgraded one of my blogs to 2.5, and found that the best feature was the automatic plugin upgrades.

The fresh new look to the admin panel is cool too. Have written a post in it yet, but saw that I can easily insert audio, video and other media within blog posts, without using plugins!

 

I upgraded my main site today and I also found it relatively painless and all plugins work.

Incidently, plugins that were NOT on the compatibility list work also so I would imagine that the same thing would apply to themes.

I love the new admin area and the fact that I no longer need a plugin to de-clutter the dashboard! As mentioned by others it is also great that you can now automatically update your plugins without having to download them first and re-upload them to your server. Very cool!

So far I have not found any bugs, which is great!

 

I like it, upgraded last night

 

I read someone in this thread saying the All in One plugin is broken Is this true?

 

I just found a bug which is described at the wordpress support forum. The bug seems to be across all browsers. It seems to happen when you press edit on the text box widget and then press cancel for some reason it seems to empty all of the content of the text widgets.

 

I have seen bugs too. In further versions of they'll be fixed!

I'm just loving the new WP!

 

Installed on my new blog, waiting for a bug fix I guess or motivation to switch the rest. Personally, I'm not crazy about the new admin, maybe I'm just used to the old one.
I agree, WP issues too many upgrades. The procedure itself is simple, but compatibility issues with plug-ins are a head-ache, especially AIO-SEO...that one is pretty critical.

 

Let's try to write a post and insert some media ...

Does it work?

 

FYI: All-In-One-SEO plugin has been updated

 

So for those who still haven't upgrade, do you guys recommend updating the plugin first or upgrade to 2.5 then only update the plugin?
