WordPress 2.1 has been released for quite a while now, but knowing that there could be many problems with plugins and I don’t want the website to be down for a long time, I have decided to leave it later. Finally got sometime this weekend, I have decided it’s time to upgread. Did the usual backups and search for new versions of all the plugins. Disable them all during the upgrade, overwrite the current wordpress with the new one, ran the upgrade script and everything was working except one or two plugins. Even WPG2, the wordpress-gallery2 plugin which I was worry of not working works without any further configuration.

Since I started upgrading the site, I tried out a few new plugins including the one on the stats page to show who’s online and another anti-spam image plugins. One feature which I really like about wordpress 2.1 is that in the edit page, it has two tabs for switching between Visual and Code rather than before where it pops up a window for editing the HTML code. I really appreciate and quite impressive with open source software!
