adorr.net on WordPress 2.8

Jun 20, 2009 by d0rr    3 Comments    Posted under: Web Development

Finally, I spared some time on upgrading adorr.net from WordPress 2.6 to 2.8, skipping the 2.7 Coltrane that was a big leap from 2.6, mainly on the back-end changes for user interface and some core architectures.

Some notable features and upgrades on WordPress 2.8 (The Baker) after 2.7 are:

  • - Faster and smoother back-end admin panel;
  • - New (easier to use) theme install capabilities;
  • - Syntax highlighting in the code editor;
  • - Improved Widget user interface and support for using more than one widget of the same type;
  • - New screen options in every page to better organize the items on the screen.

Although upgrading WordPress is known to be simple and straightforward, I still followed through the WordPress Official Upgrade Guide as I couldn’t afford to lose anything on my site. As usual (bet they haven’t change much on their upgrade guide for some time), it takes only three simple steps. Particularly, the following was what I did to get WordPress 2.8, mainly detailed elaborations on the three simple steps…

  1. - Backup database (through phpmyadmin in my shared hosting cpanel)
  2. - Backup files (download all files and folders onto my local harddrive through FTP client)
  3. - Download WordPress 2.8, extract the files on local harddrive
  4. - Rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and modify the database connection details
  5. - Upload all files and folders (except /wp-content) onto my shared hosting server, replacing any existing files and folders
  6. - I have Coltrane replaced with Baker

That easy. Nothing breaks, everything on front-end runs as it is.

I do feel that the back-end admin panel loads faster now. Apparently the team had spent quite a number of effort into cleaning up the codes and refining the architecture a bit.

adorr.net is now on The Baker!

Woot!

As talked about just before these that have large trucks possibly us them for enterprise functions or perhaps for other dirty hobbies these as heading mudding in them. Taking care of your truck is like taking care of a pet this kind of as a canine, you preserve it clear, keep up the upkeep on it, get the oil alterations often, you get my point. So why would you not buy higher high quality ground lining for your truck? Most men and women do due to the fact it is just a single of the main necessities that are extremely deemed. You will most likely shell out a whole lot of time driving your truck which implies that if you do not have them, your carpet in your vehicle can corrode easily and will leave your carpet ruined. It is not almost as basically or quickly doable to alter the carpet in your vehicle; as soon as it is messed up you have to deal with it so this is one more purpose why you ought to invest in some higher top quality flooring mats.
