As I mentioned in a previous post, I had slight reservations about upgrading this site to WordPress 2.6, due to the fact that some people had problems with non-standard permalinks. I even encountered this problem myself, when upgrading a blog that I run on a VirtualBox test server.
However, it was just past 12 a.m., and felt like throwing caution to the wind, and therefore upgraded. At first I used my web host’s “simple scripts” feature to try to upgrade the site. After all, this is what I used to do the initial installation, as well as the upgrade to 2.5.1. Bit mistake!
After getting a rather uninformative error message from simple scripts, I bit the bullet and did the manual upgrade (the way God intended!). Five minutes latter, I was up and running.
I’ve only been using 2.6 on crashsystems.net for the past few minutes, but I already like it.
