Comments on: Sciencebase updates and sht http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/sciencebase-updates-and-sht.html Science Blog from Freelance Science Writer David Bradley Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:33:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: David Bradley http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/sciencebase-updates-and-sht.html/comment-page-1#comment-88616 David Bradley Tue, 03 Apr 2007 14:16:44 +0000 http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/sciencebase-updates-and-sht.html#comment-88616 We finally bit the bullet and upgraded to the new WP fork (2.1.x) and all seems to be okay, having enabled plugins one by one, and found a few minor incompatibilities. Moreover, we have finally got comments and Akismet working in harmony, which means no more manual spam filtering! If you spot any oddities (spurious chunks of code etc) please let me know. UPDATE: I spoke too soon, of course, today's scheduled post didn't appear until I manually "edited" it again, and then it screwed up the (wp-)cron system and I had to find a workaround. So, apologies if your favourite science news site was down earlier today. We've still got issues with cron, but hopefully we'll have ironed those out before tomorrow's update is due. In the meantime, thanks for your patience, db We finally bit the bullet and upgraded to the new WP fork (2.1.x) and all seems to be okay, having enabled plugins one by one, and found a few minor incompatibilities.
