Take it backWordPress 2.3 & Other Upgrades
Just a quick update to all you readers — Metlin.org has been upgraded to the latest WordPress 2.3 release. It needed a bit of work and was a bit of a pain, but in the end, everything seems to be working (so far!).
I had trouble getting the WYSIWYG editor up and running, but I finally succeeded in doing so. Along the way, I also discovered the Advanced TinyMCE Editor plugin that’s rather useful.
Outside of that, the website maybe a little flaky for the next week or so, while I iron out the bugs. So, please bear with me until then!
Ultimate Tag Warrior for WP 2.3
A small tip for those that use Christine’s awesome plugin Ultimate Tag Warrior — you will have trouble getting it working in this version because both the back-end DB structure and the way WP calls the DB have changed. The quick and dirty solution is to edit all the PHP files and do the following replacement –
cat_ID –> term_ID
categories –> terms
cat_name –> name
post2cat -> post2terms
So, I’m working on getting a version of UTW up and running that is compatible with WordPress 2.3.
Update 1: You can download the WP 2.3 compatible version of UTW. Please note that this is just a hack until Christine releases a compatible version.
Update 2: Okay, it turns out that for this version to work, you need to include the tags in both the WP and the UTW tags field.
This picture will probably explain it better. You would need to specify the tags in both the fields given in red.

You’d be better off ditching UTW entirely, and using the new plugins that Christine has made for WordPress 2.3 instead. They provide some of the same functionality that UTW provided, but using the new built in tagging system instead.

Oh wow, thanks. And I just realized that WP 2.3 had some built-in support for tags that is rather good (not to mention it provides a tag cloud, too).
I guess between Christine’s code and the WP 2.3 tags, UTW is rather redundant.
But hey, I have it here anyway, in case someone has similar problems as me.

Anyone have any fixes for this db error I get when trying to comment on my blog after I did the wp 2.3 upgrade?

Hi!
I have the opposite problem, I run a WP 2.0.4 blog and am to lasy to upgrade to 2.3 so I have spent all day trying to find a place where I could download UTW but the only place I found is here so exactly what files are concerned for the above mentioned changes? I will revert them back to the original so I can install UTW on my WP 2.0.4 blog.

It is a very useful content,i had bookmarded your post.Here is some information for cheap discount coupons.It is a fact that cigarette smoking is injurious to health but if you go with reputed brand like Marlboro then the harm is less as compared to harm which other cheap and harmful cigarettes can do. It is so because Marlboro’s quality standards are high and it uses the right nicotine content and menthol which gives the real pleasure of smoking. In addition with the help of discount coupons you can even buy them very cheap.
