I have upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.9 few days ago. Not major upgrade from version 2.8, yet a version you should not miss. There are at least 5 great features should motivate you go for the upgrade.

1. Trash – Now when you delete post, page or comment it will go to trash instead of permanent deletion. Therefore you could restore it back when it is needed (or accidentally deleted).
2. Image Editor – You can now crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images with built-in image editor easily. No external software needed mean you will stay in WordPress for longer. (more…)

As you know WordPress 2.9 is on the way out end of this month. But I can’t wait anymore to upgrade WordPress to version 2.8.5. Not the version has great features, but to resolve some blog’s errors.

Let’s see what is new in WordPress 2.8.5 before go to fix my blog’s errors. Headline changes in the release are:

• Fix for the Trackback Denial-Of-Service (DOS) attack
• Fine tune PHP code variables
• File upload functionality to be whitelisted for all users
• Retiring of the two importers of Tag data

No big surprise. Just better security fixes. Then why I take the upgrade?

There are few errors in my blog recently, could be more than a month i think:

• Once publish new post, it turn to blank instead of admin page.
• Can’t build XML sitemap for search engines.

I have upgraded my WordPress to version 2.8.4 few weeks ago. Didn’t notice any different at that time until found a big big problem few days back.

The post visual editor totally disappeared! Even the content loss after save draft. I thought was due to slow internet connection or bad server performance.

On the next day when I check back, it is still the same. I know something is not right. Check other blogs and found no problem. So the only root cause I can think of is its WordPress version.

Tweak WordPress Config File

Search many help on Internet but useless. Except one is really working. What I did is just add the code below into wp-config.php, somewhere near the top or middle but not at bottom. (more…)
