So it has been an interesting weekend for me and No Bull Webmastering.

To begin with, I finally got my lazy ass in gear and upgraded the blog to the latest Wordpress version. Should have been the end, and could have started some posting to liven up the place, but hey, nothing comes easy when you are lazy like me, and BLOND!

Added some feeds, and then upgraded the plug ins.

OOPS!

Couldn’t post a thing, and the visual editor was wonky, so was the html editor, and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what it was. Went into the Plug In listing and noticed some strange looking upgrades for a few plug ins.

FTP’d into the site, and couldn’t find those weird looking plug ins either. That had me worried, let me tell you. I did finally find them, deleted them off the server, and figured, okay we done.  Yeah like you KNOW that isn’t gonna be the end.

IT STILL WOULDN”T WORK.

Mind you it was better, but instead of saving or posting, it gave me a white blank page. Nothing I did would make it work, so as a last resort, I went checking the DB.  Said it needed to repair a few tables, did that, and still nothing.

Last straw, I disabled all the plug ins, except the Akismet Spam one. That got things working. So now comes the fun part, in order to not have it happen, I had to enable each plug in, one at a time, check to see if this posting worked, then go enable another plug in, and do it all over again.

Makes me wonder about how many plug ins I need.

Moral of this story… UPGRADE WHEN NEW VERSIONS COME OUT.
