Food In The Fort

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.

I’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.
