Boy, you never ever deprecate old functions without giving people a heads up.
And you never ever do this without a lot of advance warning.
And you want to think about wrapping the old functions to make them work in the new environment.
Ever. Open source or not, you never ever do this without making some public note of the fact.
2fargon, where is the discussion on this? In the IRC channel? Buried in the support forum?

NuclearMoose, I had a category image display function that also stopped working with version 1.2. I called get_category_link, passing in the parameters (0, $category->category_id, $category->category_nicename), and all I get now is garbage.
Example:
https://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/womenswriting/

When I added the following to my htaccess:
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_flag magic_quotes_runtime off
And tried to edit a comment, I got an error.

Unfortunately, doesn’t do much for the syndication feeds…

Just checked with recent post — adding the filters does seem to work.
add_filter(‘the_excerpt_rss’, ‘stripslashes’);
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘stripslashes’);
To the syndication files.

Thanks trench. I did see that thread.
Using the filters or grabbing those files, trench? I’m trying the filters in the feeds now, but hesitate on just grabbing a couple of files from CVS without knowing what other dependencies are associated with the files.

Well, let’s try this again.
No matter what I do, I can’t login. Different usernames, different passwords, no passwords, can’t login.
You know what’s happened is that WordPress became a little too popular a little too quickly.
Anyone remember that commercial from the dot-com era, where the group turns on their site and they’re delighted to see orders come in…
…until the nice stream becomes an unmanageable flood?

I downloaded and updates the files mentioned earlier — no difference.
I realize that any release will have problems, but this one is significant enough that I can’t recommend the 1.2 release to anyone until a fix is made. We can’t have non-coders dropping function calls hither and yon–not without probably creating worse problems.

I just had an email that the same problem is happening in the RSS files, too. Will those new wp-includes files handle this problem?
And this is a serious enough problem to think about adding something to the development blog or front page with how-to grab these files and install for the non-techs.
Not everyone understands what ‘CVS’ means.

Where did my second message go in this thread?
Anyway, thanks, Charle97, I’ll do that. For some reason, I thought the add_filter functions could only be used in plugins.

Nah, not a worry. You pointed in the right direction. It’s just I needed to make a couple of other stops, first.
But you’re right, it is very simple to implement.

That sure does, and sorry I missed it earlier.
Thanks!

And then there’s wp-config.php, and wp-blog-head.php, and the internationalization directories…
The generated htaccess didn’t include a link to the index.file, so had to move that up. But by doing so, all the other files are off.
In fact, the only generated htaccess I see is for the comments, feed, and trackback. I assume then that is to try and hide the wordpress installation location for security reasons?

Not particularly. A brief addendum that this is a redirect hack would have been more definitive. But thanks for pointing out the items in the options — didn’t see a direct link between this ‘change’ and those items.
So what you’re saying is that I keep the PHP files in the WP directory, and just generate and move the .htaccess file to the new directory and it won’t have any of the PHP files. Redirects will be done for everything: index.php, comment file, trackback, etc.
That’s cool, but I guess I was expecting something that could be set in the code that wouldn’t be redirect and rewrite dependent.

The RC 2 is not using autodiscovery to find the trackback or pingback information on these posts. I’ve not had that in any WP installation. And yes, I have it turned on.
And since the trackback links aren’t showing in the text, nothing to copy in and test.
