Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Upgrade from 1.2 direct to 2.0Also, se this old thread about exactly this:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/53665
(btw, it’s really hard to search the forums because the search pages is located here: http://wordpress.org/support/search.php but the search box on the support page is for searching the whole WP site – wich makes it really hard finding relevant threads.)

“If you are considering upgrading to WordPress Version 2.0, but you are at Version 1.2, then follow the 1.2 to 1.5 upgrade as describe in Upgrading From WordPress Version 1.2 to 1.5. Once you are upgraded to Version 1.5.x, then follow the instructions as listed above to upgrade from 1.5 to 2.0.”
To get you 1.5, go here:

(To find that URL i had to search the forums – I really think it should be linked from the download page (http://wordpress.org/download/) but the WP people obviously think different.)Forum: Fixing WordPress

Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Making a plugin necessary? (vs. hacking core files)Ah, well that seems better than hacking the core files. I’ve never used my-hacks.php, so I never thought about it.

In reply to: WP and GalleryI merged Gallery 1.5 into a WP 1.5 installation on a site, but that was more of a visual merge than an actual code merge. It’s looks like you’re on the same site but you’re actually switching between WP and Gallery. Gallery 1 is a horror to work with codewise and I had to hack it a lot, both templates (“skins”) and main code.
(And as a side note: the default theme in WP 1.5 isn’t too funny either, it’s nowhere nere as bad as the Gallery 1 tag soup, but it’s confusing – there was this other thread about design advices for theme makers where someone else said something like that too.)

In reply to: Anyone Succeeding with 1.5.1?My upgrade worked just fine (as I’ve mentioned in the upgrade thread). I don’t use trackback/pingback, so maybe that’s not working, I don’t know, but all the things I need work fine.
About the whining, mentioned by aminox, yes there’s a lot of that here. I understand that people come here when there’s problem but I don’t understand how some people actually uppgrades without making a complete backup as a fallback. There’s always a risk that an upgrade goes wrong so a compete backup is essential. It’s not rocket sience to make a backup. And it is recommended to keep a copy of the previous release as well, I’ve seen a lot of “Where do I get 1.5?” here.
(But one thing that I think would be good if the WordPress team went for the “release often, release quick” instead of “release seldom, release slow”. There was this huge debate when som problems occured with 1.2.0 or 1.2.1 and it took quite a while before a fix was released. But that’s just my opinion, I’m sure there’s other good reason not to.)

In reply to: Hand holding for Theme tweakingJust a note: When experimenting with CSS I find the Firefox extension Web Developer and its “Edit CSS” function complete invaluable.

In reply to: Upgrade 1.5 > 1.5.1I’ve didn’t mention this in my post in this thread, but the upgrade, following podz instructions, worked just fine. As this is a support thread people with problems will be the most likely to post here, but don’t judge the working/not working upgrade ratio by that. Those whos upgrades was without problems are less likely to post here.
I’ve been following the changelog for 1.5.1 and there’s so many bug fixes that I really don’t understand why anyone would prefer to stay with 1.5 and just apply the security issue, even if they use a modified version. It’s just a x.x.1 release, but the changelog is huge.

In reply to: Upgrade 1.5 > 1.5.1I think including the note about language files in step 5 would be helpful.

In reply to: Problem With User InfoOk, that wasn’t a cache problem at all, it was just me not knowing how WP worked. The reason old comments still has the “http://” is that WP saves this for each comment in the database. So to clear old comments one has to edit the database. (Thanks to Syn that explained this in the bug notes.)
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Problem With User InfoI tried the fix posted in the notes and it does work in that I can save a user profile without the http:// but it seems WP does som caching because any change made doesn’t reflect on the blog. (This cache problem is noted in the bug report notes as well.)
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Problem With User InfoOk, it seems that wasn’t fixed for 1.5.1. But there’s a bug report filed:
http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=1296In the notes on that page there’s a solution posted by the bug reporter.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Problem With User InfoI have this problem too. My guess is that one of those million things that’s fixed for 1.5.1 already. I’ll try to dig into the 1.5.1 changelog to see if I can find it.
