    • ]]>     Borat says, "Good job!"The upgrade of Food In The Fort from WordPress 2.3.3 to WordPress 2.6.2, including the Freshy 2 theme and all plugins (at least those I planned on upgrading) is now complete. Overall, this was a pretty smooth upgrade. Not at all as nightmarish as some of the Drupal upgrades I’ve done. There were a couple of problems which I’ll note below, and there’s some further backend stuff I want to do, but for now I’m calling it quits.

    The first problem of note is that the WP-Print plugin is not displaying the little “print me” printer icon anymore although it upgraded successfully. If I recall correctly, when I first installed this plugin I had to make a small modification to the Freshy 2 theme in order to get it to work correctly so tomorrow or sometime soon I’ll go ahead and take a look at that.

    The other problem, perhaps a much bigger issue for me, is that the Flexible Upload plugin has a not insignificant bug. Luckily, I found via the Flexible Upload developer’s forums that nerdTainment has provided a patch to correct the problem until the Flexible Upload developer can roll it into the official release.

    Oh, there was one other thing… Apparently because the way WordPress handles attachments (like images), the old CSS styling for the image thumbnails no longer worked. Leaving my old CSS rules in place I simply added the following rules to style.css in the Freshy 2 theme’s directory. This will probably work just fine with whatever theme you’re using, although I can’t promise it won’t blow up in your face.

    .attachment { margin: 10px; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #aaa; }
    .alignright { float: right; }
    .alignright { float: left; }
    .aligncenter { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }

    Well, that’s it for now. I think I’ll go reward myself with hot dogs, chips and cheap beer.

    • ]]>     Upgrading WordPress could be easierI’m going to do a long overdue upgrade of Food In The Fort from WordPress 2.3.3 to WordPress 2.6.2 starting now. While FitF should generally remain available, you might expect a good deal of wonky behavior if you visit the site as I’ll be disabling plugins and moving back and forth between the default WordPress theme and the Freshy 2 theme that FitF uses. Hopefully this won’t take too long, and I’ve done a full backup in case of disaster. I’ll post when the upgrade is complete. See you on the flip side.
