In reply to: WP2.0 Theme CompatibilityThe biggest issue would be use of function calls in WP 1.5 that don’t exist in WP 2.0. This would lead to broken functionality.

In reply to: after installation cleanupYou do NOT want to delete the wp-config.php file as that is used to get the username and password to your database, without which you have no blog.
It is a misconception that just because you (as the owner) can see the contents of this text file, others can as well. That is not the case. You can check this by going to http://yourblog.com/wp-config.php and seeing that NO information shows up.
About the only two files you might want to delete are “wp-admin/install.php” and “wp-admin/upgrade.php”.
Everything else should be left as is.

In reply to: WP2.0 Theme CompatibilityHave you tried your WP 1.5 theme on a test WP 2.0 blog? You could create a local or test installation of WP 2.0 and give it a shot.
Lots of themes work, some that use plugins for some functionality might not work because the plugins don’t work.

In reply to: Editing Plugins PageIf you are on a Linux based machine, then grab the original wp-admin.css file and name it wp-admin.css.orig and when your version of wp-admin.css, execute:
diff -uBb wp-admin.css.orig wp-admin.css > wp-admin.patchYou can now distribute the .patch file and people can apply it using:
patch -b < wp-admin.patchRegards

In reply to: Better way to test WP 2.0What you should do is first duplicate your existing 1.5.x blog and then upgrade the files to 2.x and then perform the “wp-admin/upgrade.php” which might/will upgrade the database schema to 2.x standards.
Then make a copy of your newly updated 2.x Blog and enjoy.

In reply to: Free?WordPress.com is indeed a free site and you can have them setup a blog for you very easily and quickly. Though you need some sort of an invitation or something, having not dealt with it, I’m not 100% certain.
Think of it as a Blogger.com equivalent, except running WP as the software.
There is some connection between WordPress.org and WordPress.com, but any and all support related to WordPress.com is dealt elsewhere. That’s what Moshu and I were trying to convey.

In reply to: Can’t post images in WP 2.0 using MacIf the upload feature was working with WP 1.5 and you haven’t done any extensive amount of work on your WP2.0 blog, I would strongly recommend reverting to the previous version.
WP 2.0 has a few issues that should hopefully be ironed out in the next incremental version.

In reply to: Free?Come again? WordPress is a program that is run on a webhosting package to provide a BLOG. The Forums here are run using bbPress and the only “web version” of WP I know is wordpress.com and this forum has nothing to do with that site.

In reply to: Date incorrectYou surely can modify the “timestamp” of the post to your liking, but it is usually best to get the server time set right and then use that to post.
