Gone to WordPress 2.5

April 15, 2008 | Filed Under General | Leave a Comment

Here are a couple of images that I uploaded using the “multiple file upload” feature in the new WordPress 2.5. I upgraded this blog with the “WordPress Automatic Upgrade” plugin, which seems to break this particular feature. You must, therefore, put the file named swfupload_f9.swf in the directory /wp-includes/js/swfupload/. I got a copy by going into a directory with a fresh WP2.5 install. Reports seem to indicate that once that is done you also need to modify some of the code in other files to get rid of HTTP script (”crunching”) errors in IE7 by following these steps.

The Automatic upgrade plugin needs work for the above issue and another issue that doesn’t seem to automatically re-activate your plugins when you are finished with the step-by-step upgrade feature. However it seems to still be the easiest way to upgrade an existing install to version 2.5.
