I upgraded my blogs to WP 2.1 the other day. I haven’t have time to go over them and fix all the things that “went away” that I want to be there … like on THIS weblog … my “photo” post at the top of the page is something I put there not long ago, but it’s something I wanted to do for a very long time, have it there, and I forgot about my “upgrade” when I went to my blog page last night for the first time since upgrading and was shocked at how empty it looked. My sidebar is icky too –all my custom things gone … but it’s no big deal … I used, as usual on this host, One-Click Install and with that it means my “upgrade” was done by the host and with that I get a new folder on the server with a “.old” that is my weblog folder from before the upgrade.
All I need to do is to open up the little files from my “.old” theme and copy-paste to my WP 2.1 theme files.
I did work on another blog after upgrading the other day. My own blue smilies I had on here, and there, were/are gone. This is normal with all upgrades, but doing what I usually do to re-do them on upgrades, I now have no smilies on that other blog, it’s not working. For some reason no smilies show up now at all.
I have to re-try again today and see if I made some mistake, or what. I did look a bit around on the Support forum for WP and didn’t find anything about my problem with smilies, and I hope I’ll find the answer on my own, and not have to look, look, look for an answer.
So then I’ll have to go over my blogs and see what else is missing or not working rightly and get that all fixed up.
