WordPress 2.5 – Popularity widget controls
Apr 5th, 2008 | By Sites that Soar / Ais | Category: WordPress 2.5 fixes
If you’re working with WordPress 2.5 and using Firefox as your browser (I am), you may have wondered where the Popularity Contest widget’s Edit button went.
The only way I can see it is if I open my WordPress admin panel in Internet Explorer.
It’s there, but this is another reason why I recommend not upgrading to WordPress 2.5 until issues like these have been resolved. (It’s April 2008 as I’m writing this, and if I hadn’t already installed it, I’d wait until at least June or July to upgrade to 2.5.)
While I’m writing about it, WP-Contact Form isn’t the perfect solution to the Expanded WP Content Form problems with WordPress 2.5. In addition to losing the spam deterrents, on some servers WP-Contact Form broke the ‘Add media’ upload images function.
To upload images if you’re facing this problem, deactivate WP-Contact Form in your Plugins panel. Upload your images. Reactivate WP-Contact Form. (Generally, your preferences will still be there when it’s reactivated, but double-check to be sure.)
