WordPress 2.6 Available for Download

I really like the plugin update notification. It spares some clicky time. Other than that, I just hope the plugins will keep up with the WordPress releases.

HI john, its good news. and,
I wrote an e-book about "Easy way to upgrade WordPress". So there is no pain for upgrading the Wordpress.
Am I correct?

Thanks,
ALBERT A ALBS

Just upgraded my blog from 2.5 to 2.6

Waiting with the uptade to see what kind of problems will eventually appear..

Yeah I have not done mine yet. I saw it in the CP.

Patience would be a virtue here. Lets see how it performs over the next couple of days.

Yes wordpress always updated their platform, but do i need to upgrade it ? well , i'm still worried to screw up , anyone sure that this upgrade safe :idea:

Wordpress keeps updating some frequently, no wonder its the best blogging platform.

Although I am very excited about the new version, I'd rather wait for a little while. My experience tells me that being the first one trying out new things may not necessarily be good. But well, I still have full confidence on Wordpress!

It's actually a bad idea to not upgrade seeing as they just implemented a new security feature.

And I guess me, John & the others who upgraded flawlessly are in the minority of those that had no problems. Everything is working smoothly. Didn't even need to fix the permalinks.

Can´t do it for now because my hosting does not have for the moment the option to upgrade to the latest version and i burned last time my account with an upgrade not off wordpress but the ganeserver i have of CSStrike :roll:

..and don't forget about the cool easter egg in 2.6 ;)

Absolutely looking forward to testing out the new features tonight!

It would be great if Wordpress can focus on issues such as excessive mysql queries that slow down the server rather than introducing add-ons. Currently I'm having issues on uploading images with the latest version.

just installed 2.5 a few hours agao :(

I was preparing to update my blog right now and blog about it...

I heard that some are having problems with it now.

You've gotta love upgrades...

ugh. another update. I plan to wait it out until the next upgrade or my next hooker, whichever cums first! :lol:

Upgraded to 2.6 on all of my blogs. Everything still works :) the new features like caption, wordcount is nice. I haven't tried the turbo feature yet though.

I have a question about making money online I have been in the internet business for over 10 years more on the e-commerce/financing side but have recently sold some site and started building more social apps/weblogs which as far as development are going pretty well. But my question is although I know the income is not totally dependent just on traffic alone it is a major part of it. Based on compete John Chow blog has 118,378 people count per month not sure of how many page views but he reports income of over $30k per month with the exception of last month with the pay if forward blog post of $10k...but then you have a website like www.weakgames.com which the owner reports only about $7500.00 per month yet from compete has 407,829 people count (he states over 800,000 uniques with 3 million pageviews) the guy is selling the site on sitepoint.com so not sure why he would down play the income versus playing it up. So why the big difference he has almost 4x the traffic of this blog John Chow but is not even making $10k per month but John Chow consistently does over $30K per month again I know there are other factors types of affiliate programs and work put in but there is just such a hugh difference kinda of confusing...not only that I know of other blogs that have about the same traffic as John Chow and all them report over $30K per month or close to it...so why is weakgames earning so little? Anyone have any thoughts?

I have never used wordpress. I guess I should try it out :)

Wordpress does it again - thanks for the update John.

I definitely DO NOT recommend upgrading to this version yet. I lost all of my post content (it was still there, the links just stopped working). This is what I did to fix it.

Yup I have heard that this new version is more stable than previous one. Good work for mighty Wordpress :)

Upgraded yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to see everything still works. :)

No plugins broken, nothing to fix, just a smooth upgrade. Sweet.

Always remember to backup before an update!

What , new version. I just installed version 2.5 5 minutes ago... :evil:
what to do ? Upgrade now !!

I installed it yesterday and had a problem with the admin panel logging back in using firefox, if you have this problem read this:

I'll wait and see if you're still happy with it a week or two from now!

Downloaded it yesterday and am liking the small new features they've introduced, especially the word count!

wrote a similar post yesterday. Think I will wait to upgrade.
