Upgraded to WordPress 2.8

Posted by Paul Kehrer on June 10, 2009 Leave a comment (7) Go to comments

I just upgraded this blog from 2.7.1 to 2.8 with no real issues. I’ve been keeping an eye on the development of 2.8 due to Fidgetr and CDN Tools, but while Fidgetr works without any issues1, CDN Tools users should do the following:

1) Enable advanced options and choose “remove JS”.
2) Upgrade to 2.8
3) Reload JS (if desired)

Additionally, deleting attachments does not work properly at this time due to an improvement in the wp_delete_attachment hook for 2.8. I’ll be releasing an update to correct both of these issues as soon as possible.

  1. Despite this, I’ve prepped a v1.3.1 with a few UI tweaks and explicit 2.8 support ↩

    After a little detective work, it appears CDN Tools is breaking the editor on my install. I’m not using a CDN on it apart from Google, when that option is enabled the ‘HTML’ tab doesn’t work and post content doesn’t save.

    Disabling Google CDN and leaving the CDN Tools plugin enabled doesn’t seem to cause a problem. Haven’t tried it with Mosso yet (got that setup on another site), but I’d imagine its a JS library compatibility issue with what Google have on their CDN.

    You are absolutely correct. In 2.8 on the edit post page jQuery is loaded like this:

    <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://swearingscience.com/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=1&load=jquery,utils,editor,quicktags&ver=33f9a1c72519a04d2fd7dd5a26c9ec8d’></script>

    This breaks how CDN Tools does its loads… everyone should definitely disable this until I release a compatible version.

    i, too, had the same issue as alex. had to delete wp-admin & wp-includes directories in the end. after i re-uploaded those cdn tools can be re-enabled (i’m only using the google section of the plugin due to the read errors i’ve posted elsewhere on this site).
    cheers,

    I’m getting this error about the file has failed to upload and the path is doubling itself?

    Any chance we’ll see v1.3.1? This plugin was so useful in 2.7.1, and i think there are a few of us who would love to give v1.3.1 a shot in WordPress 2.8.2. Thank you for providing such a great plugin.

    Yeah, I hated to have to disable this plugin… need it! Any update?

    In the same boat as the others — I really enjoy using CDN Tools but I’ve had to disable because of the issues.

    Any idea on when you will release the updated version? Thanks!
