Although i'm using wordpress 2.3 now, this is still great information. Its fascinating how fast things like features and / or bugs can change in the short period of time, that a new version is developed. Thanks, Aaron!

And after all this development, there is STILL no Postgres support, denying one of the best pieces of blogging software even more active users who would prefer PostgreSQL instead of MySQL for whatever reasons.

@Grosshandel: Yea I was using Visual Text Editor, too.

Anyhow, I was using Visual Text Editor before the upgrade.

Aaron, you could probably do some more updating on this list as more features have been released. Might even start prepping your next article that includes the new Tags feature in Wordpress.

Great write-ups though, looking forward to more of them.

The advanced toolbars and buttons in the TinyMCE editor of Wordpress 2.1 can be changed and customized as you like. See the article at http://timrohrer.com/blog/?... for details.

Thanks for a useful post - I will be upgrading the indigo t-shirt blog this weekend but am still worried about plugins not working.

Sure you can. Make sure you're in standard mode and not using the RTE.

the new version still not support. "real" source code editing.
eg. you can not embed a youtube video.

I just upgraded to WP 2.1 and I was pleasantly surprised that none of my 2.0.7 plugins broke that I couldn't find updates to WP 2.1 versions. Even with the little bit that I've checked out in 2.1 I'm even happier than New Orleans Saints fans are this week.

Thanks for bringing me into the WP family. I can;t believe it took me so long to use this killer software/

Good deal, Jerry. :-)

shame on me. I missed it. Thanks, Aaron. I skipped the whole option/users tab, thinking it is for user account management.
Anyhow, I was using Visual Text Editor before the upgrade. So, the upgrade somehow took it away. Hate to think it could be caused by a reset to default because I'd think most people would want Visual Editor. Otherwise why use a CMS at first place :)

CIO Jerry — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 19:52:39 -0000

I thought of that too, so I checked all the options under the Admin's dashboard, esp. options/writing. Can you be more specific on where this 'profile page' is?

Re: 10 Things You Should Know About WordPress 2.1

Aaron Brazell — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 19:29:35 -0000

You probably have the option set on your profile page to not use the Visual Text Editor.

I had a problem after upgrading wordpress 2.0.7 server to 2.1 on a FC6 server this morning. The editor is 'code' only and no tabs shown at all to switch between the two modes. I have a
screenshot here for anybody interested to help me troubleshoot. Any pointer is appreciated.

I also want to see WordPress on my website but I only have one concern i.e. what if there is a serious & critical security bug discovered (e.g. MySpace Spam King issue) and I don't upgrade my installation. Somebody will hack my blog. And I have experienced it few years back while experimenting with PHPNuke which was the then great CMS alternative!

I would really like to see Wordpress 2.1 running on my server. But I think I will wait some weeks before updating. Many plugins I use still don't support WP 2.1.

Baby: There is talk of setting the min MySQL to 4.1 in 2.2 ;)

Excellent write-up. I often get the question of "why do you need to upgrade?" and "If it's not broken, don't fix it".

You just gave me some ammo to fight of pesky questions about upgrades of WP.

I found that the ditching of support for old MySql 3 was a MAJOr issue as some of the folks I deal with still run that old bugger ;)
Thanks!

Question. I've been digging through the mySql.

wp_posts has a column called post_category. But there is a table dedicated for categorisation (wp_post2cat). So what is that field used for? Backward compatability? Seems silly... they're all 0 (default)

Great article. I'll try this upgrade on my other installed WP.

WooHoo! 2.1 is released!

Now then .. when will 2.1.1 be available?

just kidding :)

But .. I did just upgrade my Pap site directly from 1.5.2 to 2.1 version. My biggest problems that I had, was the pre/post compatibility issues of my template, and plugins. A lot of code for plugins in my templates had to be removed. My Random Excerpt plugin brought forth a death black screen, but there were plugins I activated that were "not on the approved list" that do work (so far that is - knock on wood)
