Comments on: WordPress 2.8 Beta 1 http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/2009/05/17/wordpress-2-8-beta-1/ Lester Chan's WordPress Plugins Development Blog Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:07:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lester Chan http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/2009/05/17/wordpress-2-8-beta-1/comment-page-1/#comment-24201 Lester Chan Thu, 18 Jun 2009 05:18:15 +0000 http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/?p=255#comment-24201 I would always recommend starting a fresh install of WP2.8 rather then upgrading. How I would upgrade: 1. I would delete everything except /wp-content/ folder and wp-config.php 2. Upload everything again. 3. Delete those plugins folder that requires updating 4. Upload the updated plugin again. Left over files are always an issue. I would always recommend starting a fresh install of WP2.8 rather then upgrading.

There is a lot of things not working properly now on my WP site. I am so disappointed. Even the "Installed Plugins Page" is not the same. I can just kick myself for allowing the upgrade. I am thinking on building another site all together -this is too much and not the first time an upgrade has either screwed things up. I love the idea of WP , however I can't afford the screw ups.

Since you upgraded to WP2.8, your database structure has changed as well so I don't think it is possible to reverse it. Not that I know off.

Is there anyway to get rid of the “2.8? update without destroying my entire site? I'd be much obliged for some feedback on this issue. Thanks. -sunny I was not able to do a recovery.

The biggest problem is getting help. I am getting pretty gun shy when it comes to upgrading anything when my site is working and running just fine. I think I am going to try and undo what I've done and just leave well enough alone. Thanks but no thanks. :o/ I’ve recently upgraded to “2.8″ and now also updated some plugins that are now giving me big problems. The biggest problem is getting help.
