I upgraded to 2.8 with a lot of regrets. I now have downgraded
to 2.7.1 with a little better recovery, but 2.8 still left
behind some issues.
In 2.8, I could not ..
- add permalinks
- could NOT edit drafts
- in one particular case it re-formatted a draft to the where I will
need to start all over again
- could not navigate within a draft using arrow keys
Seriously ... any suggestions ..?
I just switched to the default theme and now everything is just a
white page. I cannot even edit anymore ...
I'm getting the same problem with several of my WordPress sites. Is there a way to downgrade back to 2.7?
Seriously
help - me too - just posted a help me post....anything you click on gives a pageload error - redirect loop. I have not checked my drafts - yikes I have several hundred.
I downgraded, but the upgrade to 2.8 seriously tainted everything.
Of course, if you backed up your DB and WP files you will have
better success downgrading. For myself, I am stuck with this
terrible upgrade.
I just want my visual editor back. I cannot ever edit posts as of
now.

The visual editor for some reason the new install doesn't overwrite tinyMCE file properly.
Here is how to fix it.
- download wordpress 2.8 from wordpress.org and unzip
- find wp-includes/js/tinymce
- in your website directory find wp-includes/jc/tinymce
- delete this file and replace with the new one
true ... thank you .. In addition, you MUST, completely exit
your browser, then re-perform the upgrade (regardless of whether
it is at the latest or not), then exit the browser again. Then
visual editing will be restored.
