Comments on: Upgrade to 2.3.3. http://blog.xcski.com/2008/03/15/upgrade-to-233 Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place. Sat, 05 Jul 2008 21:36:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Mark http://blog.xcski.com/2008/03/15/upgrade-to-233#comment-81772 Mark Sun, 16 Mar 2008 03:18:49 +0000 http://blog.xcski.com/2008/03/15/upgrade-to-233#comment-81772 I'm running SK2. I've considered just removing it all together since it does seem to be abandon-ware now, but it works so damn well as it stands that I'm reluctant to put all faith in Askimet, only to discover I've got to reinstall SK2 after the fact. I think I'll leave this upgrade for tomorrow. I don't want a repeat of my Gallery experience where I got so pissed off I spent half the night fighting with it after foolishly starting an upgrade at 11PM on a work-night. I’m running SK2.

Which is too bad, because I'm told that 2.2 has better spam controls so I could turn back on comments. Are you using SK or SK2? I had to upgrade to SK2 when I went to WordPress 2.2. It seems to still be working with 2.3, even though it hasn't' been updated in ages.

I think I've upgraded Wordpress once (the last time a major security hole was discovered with the version I was running) and it went OK. At this point I'm not running any really odd or outdated plugins (SpamKarma aside, perhaps?) so perhaps it'll go well.

I had to upgrade two plugins and make a very small change to my template comments.php, but otherwise it was painless. Might as well go ahead, Mark.
