Wordpress and Theme Upgrade
November 24th, 2007
I hate updating Wordpress, so I don’t do it often. This weekend I updated from:
- Wordpress 2.1.3 to 2.3.1
- Theme: Tarski 1.3 to Tarski 2.0.4
- Flickr Photo Gallery 0.91 to 0.93.2
- Imported Ultimate Tag Warrior tags into the native WordPress tag system
The only thing that doesn’t work right anymore is the Comvatar plug-in. I’m pretty sure that’s because of the upgrade to Tarski rather than the upgrade of Wordpress as the Comvatars still show up everywhere they’re supposed to except for in the actual comments themselves. I did a quick switch to some Sandbox themes and the Comvatars show up in the comment, so it’s a Tarski thing. I’m reluctant to leave Tarski behind as it is an extremely well supported theme. I’ve customized my Tarksi theme a bit and even jumping 8 or 9 releases, most of my customizations have remained intact, save for the tag cloud which should be fixed with available plugins and the problem with the comvatars.
Or I could just take this opportunity to start with a new theme.

I’m still not sure if I want to upgrade my wp yet, I’m worried about some of the plug-ins not working. But I believe I will eventually lol, though by the time I get to it I think a wp 2.4 will be out ^^.

I never really know if it’s actually worth it or not to upgrade since it seems like such a hassle to get everything back to how you had it before upgrading.

Wordpress, love it, hate it.
But I will NEVER go back to MovableType
Actually the upgrade process wasn’t as painful as I thought, and I prefer Wordpress infinitely more than MT.
