How nice to read something positive for a change. 🙂
Agree 100%. Upgraded a few standalone sites and multisite installation. Everything went off without a hitch for me.
I’ve noticed the periodic upgrades have just been WORKING – no fuss, no muss, just lots and lots of WordPress goodness. Stumbled over a minor plugin issue today but it’s due to old cforms (v11.5) use of JQuery and author indicates in v11.7.3 it’s fixed. Found the issue because my custom JQuery-based content slideshow broke in IE – discovered conflict with LightBox2, tried LightBox Plus – lightbox function still not working – switched off Cforms 11.5 and LightBox Plus issue cleared. I suspect 99% of the ‘WordPress’ issues reported are actually plugins not behaving right. You just have to be methodical and meticulous about cross-checking stuff. The modular nature of WordPress makes debugging incredibly quick and easy. I know it’s a pipe dream, but some kind of ‘plugin conflict catcher’ would be GRAND… WordPress itself RARELY gives me grief.

Yeah, it’s complicated 🙂 And really hard since sometimes the conflicts are between two plugins, not between plugin/wordpress :/ Maybe NASA will give us a CRAY to run those checks on…
sometimes the conflicts are between two plugins
Or between plugin and theme. Or new version of WordPress and theme…
I took care of about 40 client upgrades today and only encountered a few minor glitches. These were mostly due to old themes not having the latest functions and I was able to fix them in less than 2 minutes.
3.1 is most excellent.
