Oh yeah…
Podz guide has been indespensible for updating from 1.2 to 1.5
but i meant the 1.3/1.5 beta versions to the final 1.5 version.
It is always recommended to run the upgrade.php script when updating from one version to another. Also, as always, backup your data before you do anything related to an upgrade.

DSS, just follow the simple upgrade instructions:

I thought it wasn’t really necessary to run the upgrade script but I sure got caught by that. I was moving from beta to beta every few weeks and at somepoint IE stopped being able to view my site although it worked fine in Mozilla. It turns out the content-type was no longer correct in the database and IE didn’t know what to do with my site (heck, sometimes I don’t either). I ran the upgrade script and everything works perfectly. Lesson learned, I now bow to the upgrade script.

Ack!
ok, i replaced my beta files with the Strayhorn files (keeping my themes) and went to the update.php and get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare maybe_add_column() (previously declared in /home/mine/public_html/wp-content/plugins/subscribe-to-comments.php:252) in /home/mine/public_html/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php on line 258
and my dashboard’s not performing correctly, no connection with WP.
ugh…
Kill the subscribe to comments plugin 🙂

Well, i located a file in the change set which says its fixed this issue:
http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/2378
suggested fix:
wp-blogheader.php
line 177
remove: if (1 == count($posts)) {
replace with: if (Â is_single() || is_page() ) {
but that breaks the whole blog…
is something missing here?
