Comments on: All go ooh and aah at WordPress 2.5 http://livingos.com/2008/03/31/all-go-ooh-and-aah-at-wordpress-25/ Tim's blog on anything from this week's lectionary, to open source software like WordPress Sat, 05 Jul 2008 21:51:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Rob http://livingos.com/2008/03/31/all-go-ooh-and-aah-at-wordpress-25/#comment-4258 Rob Sun, 06 Apr 2008 18:03:52 +0000 http://www.livingos.com/?p=412#comment-4258 There is a patch for WP 2.5 to allow IE7 to upload multiple files. http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7573 This is not in the current download, but will probably be in WP 2.5.1 The Upsilon theme does not seem to like the WP 2.5 automatic image galleries. The photos in the gallery seem to carry over the css width formatting from the Smooth Gallery images, instead of the 150x150px or 300x300px specified in the the gallery short code. http://openaranch.com/?p=61 I think the new widget panel will be better suited to and will be more appreciated when themes have widgetized headers, footers, sidebars, main content, etc. Or have specific widgets for specific categories, posts or pages, etc. There is a patch for WP 2.5 to allow IE7 to upload multiple files. http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7573 This is not in the current download, but will probably be in WP 2.5.1

Not complicated as in hard to figure out, but complicated in way too many steps to accomplish. This seems like a major step backwards. Still deciding on other changes.

WP-Sticky vers 1.1 or 1.3Beta breaks the site. The new WP 2.5 multi-file upload & automatic gallery feature works seems only to work with Firefox 2.0 with Flash enabled, but not IE7 with or without Flash.

Time will tell whether it improves the blogger's work flow. It probably takes some getting used to. Time will tell whether it improves the blogger’s work flow.
