I'd have thought by this release that any minor niggles would have been ironed out. Oh well, hope you sort it out soon. :) Paul – Sorry to hear you’re having problems with 2.3.1.

It broke a couple of plugins and now my e-mail notification doesn't work. Also, I'm not getting information from a couple of scripts, recent-posts, most-commented. I'm still searching for the answers. Overall, it certainly wasn't worth the effort. Well, my upgrade to 2.3.1 didn’t go so well.

Sounds like you've got some fun coming your way. I don't envy you there. <strong>mlankton</strong> - A wise stance I think. For info, all the plugins I had issues with have been fixed/patched now and I think this will be the case with most plugins. 2.3.1 might bring along some new tagging functionality too? <strong>Jeffro</strong> - You're right, the automatic plugin update notification is a nice addition. However, having just published my plugin I'm trying to wrap my head round the Subversion Repository which is how the notification feature works. I'm not sure it's as simple as it should be.

I did encounter an upload problem in which a few folders were uploaded into other folders. In other words, some folders were not overwritten like they were supposed to be. I fixed this and re-uploaded the files which allowed the WordPress upgrade script to properly update my database. I knew about the tag importers being added to WordPress 2.3 but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out where they were. I eventually located them within the MANAGE-IMPORT area of my WordPress admin panel. After clicking on the importer for my Ultimate Tagging Warrior plugin, all of my tags were imported into the native tagging features implemented into WP 2.3 I also experienced numerous wordpress.wp_post2cat does not exist errors which were being generated by the UTW plugin, so be sure to disable it once you complete your upgrade. I want to give a very big thank you to everyone responsible for the automatic update notification feature. This is an invaluable time saver. After my upgrade was complete, I discovered 5 plugins which had an update available for download. The notification window provides a direct link to the plugin on the wordpress.org site where additional information along with the plugin files can be located.

Sounds like people aren't having too bad a time with 2.3, but upgrading to a new point release is better left to the people who need a new feature. I'll wait til it's safe to leap in.

I think I may need to bite the bullet and upgrade and change hosts at the same time. Wordpress is eating up my database space and 1and1 are so inflexible each database is a max of 100MB (even though I have 15 of them) I’m too scared to upgrade at the moment too, but pleased to hear its gone pretty smoothly for you.

It offers a better access to image sizing, and it still lets me use the regular features of WordPress - delaying the publishing date, for example. It allows me to run many blogs at the same time.
