WordPress upgraded
I upgraded the test server to the latest version of WordPress this morning. The only significant challenge I faced during the upgrade was caused by some frame busting javascript in my template. It took me a little while to find my way to the WordPress Support forums. Once I did, it didn’t take long to find threads from people with the same problem and the included solution. While I was looking around, I found a new thread buster plugin to replace my(?) old javascript, figured out how to finally get the sub-categories nested beneath the categories (from looking at the Blix theme) and figured out how to enable the calendar in the sidebar. The sub-categories fix was actually necessary, as the category list in my custom theme broke during the upgrade. The category list worked when I switched to the Blix theme, which also happens to have the nested category list that I’ve been wanting.
Then I spent some time trying out the site to make sure that nothing else was broken. I haven’t found any problems.
All of that went so smoothly that I decided to just go ahead and upgrade production this evening.
It’s nice to be a week ahead of schedule.
