WordPress2.6 Released

I’ve just updated this blog to WordPress 2.6, and I’ll be going through all my niche blogs as well. WordPress 2.6 introduces much better plug-in management. You can now delete unused plugins from within the WordPress admin panel, and you can select and activate multiple plugins at once. The last feature is probably the main reason I upgraded.

Although the Automatic Upgrade plugin makes it really quick and easy to update your installation, it would always de-activate all my plugins and not reactivate them again. Manually reactivating plugins over a slow Internet connection is tedious – I get sidetracked while waiting for the page to refresh, so it takes me 10 times longer than it should.

There are a bunch of other minor issues that have been changed or improved in WordPress 2.6 – you can read about them at Technosailor’s blog

    Just upgraded today. Haven’t gone through the Bells and whistles yet but im looking forward to it.

  2. Chloe from Travel Sy9stems says:

    Thanks for the upgrade plugin.
    I think wordpress should just automatically update all patches. I see alot of commercial blogs out there running ver <= 2.3 which is just full of exploits.

    I am not a fan of the post revision feature, it loads your database with crap you don’t need. And I don’t even want to use the feature. I am holding off upgrading on most of my blogs at this stage because of this.

    Thanks, i’ll update my blog soon for better performance. I hope there will be no database or plugin problem.

    It seems to me you should consider upgrading you internet connection… if you get sidetracked while waiting for a page to refresh! Never had those problems, not even with WP 2.3

    I’ve never been a fan of wordpress, but I am finding it even more and more difficult to not embrace this piece of software with the many great improvements that it has.

  8. Chelle from Best Stupid Things says:

    I found that you need to deactivate many plugins with an upgrade anyways since often they won’t work with a new version – the automatic upgrade works nicely for me :)

    I hope WP 2.6 is a bit more secure. I used to use WP, but my site got hacked. Not being to tech savvy I didn’t know that WordPress has a terrible history of getting hacked. I read even Al Gore has had his hacked. So, I jost removed their message and links. A few days later I was hacked again and had my entire database and files deleted :(

  10. I agree that all future WP upgrades could be done automatically with an option to upgrade or not. Press of a button. Made simple…

  11. Jason from SEO Atlanta says:

    So did you run into any problems with the upgrade. My last upgrade was an absolute nightmare.
