    Hi everybody,

    I have a question. And it may sound really stupid but its something I just dont get.

    I'm using Wordpress now for my blog and I want to upgrade to WP 2.2. So far, so good.
    I think I know how to do it (manually) since I've read the tutorials and stuff.

    But I had a question about my theme and plugins. Will they still work with 2.2?
    I have visited all the sites where I found the plugins and my theme (Unnamed) and there was nothing mentioned there. Except that it was for WP2.1+.
    Does that "+" mean that it is also for WP 2.2?

    If not, then most of my plugins wont work. And I have only the "standard" ones. (like subscribe to comments, what would seth godin do, akismet etc )

    Or is it just a matter of testing everything?

    Thanks for your help and replies!

    It's difficult to say.

    There's not a great deal of differences with 2.2 only bug changes etc.

    Have a visit of the theme designers site to see if they have made any changes before upgrading.

    You might find some plugins don't work so you will have to either 1) contact the designer or use another plugin which does the same job.
