Succesfully running 2.8.1, but
I’ve updated the site to the latest release of WordPress. 2.8.1 fixes many bug found in 2.8 and I finally was ready for the update. While everything went smoothly, I did have to update my theme a bit to run some of the additional widget area.
Using the old style dynamic_sidebar( 'Utility: Header' ); didn’t work any more, while just replacing the Title of the widget area with the ID fixed this problem: dynamic_sidebar( 'utilityheader' );.
I also came across a major error with one of my plugins. AsideShop just doesn’t work with and version WordPress greater than or equal to 2.8. Hopefully the author will come up with a fix, but since the plugin page only shows the plugin to be compatible with 2.5.1, I doubt it. I may try my luck at this fix.
You’ll notice some posts in full view for the time being, with out the simple “aside” styling.
I know the whole community is weary and waiting for the release of the now 18 days over original scheduled release of November 10th. But I am already anxious to start the prowl for plugins that need major updating for the new 2.7 platform.
I know because I have the latest nightly build installed on this site, and some of the plugins I am using have created a tiny problem, ;). Okay, maybe some have really not liked the new WP, but that hasn’t stopped me from trying them out.
If you don’t know, this site is running the latest WordPress. Which is in Beta testing, version 2.7 Beta-3.
I installed a new plugin today: SEO Smart Links. And as soon as I installed and tested it out, I get an error message on my dashboard.
The funny thing is, usually when there is an error, it shows up at the top of the page, before the site loads. This error is showing up at the bottom of the site.
huh, I was going to past the code error, but it seemed to disappear? I will post it if it shows up again.
OH…
Another big error is clicking the publish button. Seems that I keep getting an Error 500 – Internal server error when publishing a post or re-saving a post. 🙁
Update
I used my handy dandy Plugin: WP-DBManager to restore my backup from yesterday. Fixed both problems!
Hopefully, Vladimir Prelovac will update his plugin for WordPress 2.7 use.
Update 2
Upon further inspection, and trials. This plugin is awesome and powerful for how simple it is. But my plugin: OIO Publisherseems not to like ALOT of my plugins I have installed.
So check out the SEO plugin for sure!

Funny enough, I’ve had asideshop installed on my blog for months and months, but never activated it. Wasn’t ready for it just yet.
So today I upgraded to wp 2.8.1 and then began using asideshop and couldn’t get it to work properly.
Glad to see I haven’t lost my mind
