It’s been a week since my last post. I was working on my new theme for the launching on this Tuesday. I hope the theme will please you because it’s also Wordpress 2.3 compatible! I’ve also upgraded my blog into the 2.3 version yesterday. Although I have found several nice features, I have also found some annoying problem related to database. The problem that I have met up are as follow:

• After the upgrade process complete, the database table is error. I will need to point to this URL: [yourURL]/wp-admin/upgrade.php to fix the problem.
• The first time trying to make a new post (this post, actually ) , And error occurred below the publish button. The culprit is Google Sitemap Plugin. Disable it and you will not facing any problem again. But you will need to find another plugin for sitemap.

I’m not using any sitemap generator right now, if you have any good recommendation, please comment below

• The incoming link is using Google BlogSearch instead of Technorati. It’s quite annoying because we couldn’t see who actually linking to us. It’s better to change back to technorati.

Steps to Replace the Google BlogSearch with Technorati Blog Reaction:

• Go to your server folder and find your wordpress installation folder.
• Find and click the wp-admin folder.
• You will see this file inside wp-admin folder: index-extra.php. Open it and you will get this line of code:

$rss_feed = apply_filters( ‘dashboard_incoming_links_feed’, ‘http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&scoring=d&ie=utf-8&num=10&output=rss&partner=wordpress&q=link:’ . trailingslashit( get_option(‘home’) ) );

$more_link = apply_filters( ‘dashboard_incoming_links_link’, ‘http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&scoring=d&partner=wordpress&q=link:’ . trailingslashit( get_option(‘home’) ) );

• Change it with the following code and save it:

$rss_feed = apply_filters( 'dashboard_incoming_links_feed', 'http://feeds.technorati.com/cosmos/rss/?url=' . trailingslashit( get_option('home') ) );

$more_link = apply_filters( 'dashboard_incoming_links_link', 'http://www.technorati.com/search/' . trailingslashit( get_option('home') ) );

Other than that problems, I’m really have nothing to complain anymore.

I love the ‘advance toolbar’ and the integrated tagging services. I’m also love the integrated plugin which could notify me on the newer plugin (plugin that I’m using at) is available for download.

I ‘m sure, with this new version and my new theme, I will do a lot more of pillar post to build my blog. Hope this post is useful for you who haven’t upgrade your wp.
