NEW: Upgrade to 1.5.2

  • Read the dev blog.

    Backing up your database and files is recommended before ANY upgrade

    ==== The official method.====
    Upgrade just like any other upgrade:
    – delete
    /wp-admin
    /wp-includes (but NOT your languages folder!!)
    all wp-* files at root EXCEPT wp-config.php
    (Leave /wp-content and /wp-images alone.)

    – upload the replacements for what you have deleted (so don’t upload /wp-content or /wp-images)

    Use the link in the Dev blog to read the Codex page on upgrading.

    There is no need to run upgrade.php after doing this.

    ====The UNofficial method====
    Right now I don’t have the changelog, but a list of the changed files is below. If you do it this way, you are on your own as far as support is concerned.
    wp-admin/categories.php
    wp-admin/edit-page-form.php
    wp-admin/post.php
    wp-admin/upload.php
    wp-admin/users.php
    wp-commentsrss2.php
    wp-includes/comment-functions.php
    wp-includes/functions-post.php
    wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php
    wp-includes/template-functions-category.php
    wp-includes/version.php
    wp-settings.php
    xmlrpc.php

  • To srpittman: thanks for responding, even though you figured it out that I figured it out .. ?? It’s nice knowing that someone is out there looking at our queries and trying to help .. much appreciated to you and everybody here participating at the www.ads-software.com …. // HART

    After my upgrade to 1.5.2 from 1.5.1.3, my Write Post subpanel disappeared from the write post tab in Write. I followed the update guidelines on the Codex but admit that I forgot to disable plugins, however none modify the write post function.

    Then I found that if I changed from advanced controls to simple controls, the write post subpanel reappears. But if I try to access my drafts, the write post subpanel does not appear, even with simple controls selected in options. I had a few hacks, basically only format changes – change the font in the admin.css, for instance, all precisely documented ( I saved my fc /N outputs in text files.) Any clues where to start troubleshooting this?

    I’m no hacker, but probably waiting and upgrading to 1.5.2 would be a good possible start.

    I had similar problems with a plugin a while ago – some just don’t work on new builds till they get updated too.

    the upgrade was swift and painless… thanx!

    Thanks a ton,

    Worked pefectly. ??

    When I upgraded to 1.5.2 I forgot to disable my plugins but everything worked fine, except two things I am trying to troubleshoot now:

    ShortStat quit counting. It keeps saying I have 0 visitors everyday, I think since I upgraded, maybe since I did something else that was bad (not sure).

    Headline Images Admin link went away (was it under Manage > Headlines, or Options > Headlines?). It’s gone. But I can still go to my Plugins page, and the description of this plugin has the link to it’s admin panel, and it still works! Just no tab in the main Admin.

    Any ideas?

    Need to edit the files, like add ‘-image-‘ to the_title(), remember?

    I don’t use Shortstat but I bet you need to add something to the footer or header there, too?

    Thanks Beel, I’ll check it (the www I got ShortStat from doesn’t have any instructions beyond put it in plugins and activate). There may be a thread here that reminds me what needs to be in Header.php for ShortStat to run, I’m guessing that’s it.

    To clarify on Headline Images (I might make a new thread for this), the headlines are working great, I still had the -image- code in my Theme. It’s the Headline Image Admin Control Panel that disappeared.

    You’re talking about WP-Shortstat right? (there is another one just called Shortstat)

    I just upgraded to 1.5.2 and WP-Shortstat 1.2 (the latest I believe) is still working fine for me.

    This one doesn’t require anything to be inserted to run. Just copy the one file to plugins dir and activate..

    Exactly. Thanks Joebar. Unfortunately that’s my set-up too, but WP-Shortstat quit counting. Still says 0 after several days. I deleted the 2 tables it had created in the database, reactivated the wp-shortstat plugin, and it recreated the tables, but still sitting at zero hits.

    WP-Shortstat 1.3 (I just checked the version)
    WP1.5.2

    followed instructions, it used to work, now it’s not counting. The stats page is there, just 0 hits??

    I’m using version 1.2 — If you wanna try that, contact me with your email addy via my website and I’ll send it to ya.

    I’ve updated 3 blogs using the Un-Official Method posted by Podz in the first post, 1 is running on Windows & other 2 on Linux, and it all went smoothly, no hiccups & no problems so far!! ??

    I just want to make sure I’ve got this right before I upgrade. I have 1.5.1.2 and I want to go to 1.5.2. Are the following the correct instructions?

    >>>
    Overview

    1. Download (https://www.ads-software.com/download/) and extract update files to a folder on your computer’s hard drive.
    2. On your host server site, delete your old WordPress files, but DO NOT DELETE:
    * wp-config.php
    * The wp-content folder
    3. Upload the new files from your computer’s hard drive to the appropriate WordPress folder on your site.
    4. In your browser, navigate to /wp-admin/upgrade.php.
    5. Follow the instructions.
    6. You wanted more, perhaps? That’s it!
    7. Having trouble? Read Troubleshooting: Common Installation Problems.

    You actually wouldn’t need to run the upgrade, it will occur naturally. And be sure NOT to upload the new wp-content folder, just move it somewhere else before you start the upload.

    erangle,

    I’m really not sure what you’re saying. Do you mean upload the files and not run the update.php?
