WP 2.1

I just upgraded to the latest recommended WP version and I’m currently sorting the open issues regarding the (installed) plug-ins. For future reference: ‘How to install your online WordPress locally’. (As a reference, my thoughts on upgrading your WordPress the … Continue reading

So?

I was doing a quick trial update to move Alfons to the latest known WordPress version locally (on the server called Elsie). Yesterday, I had to download an older version of WordPress to see how my plug-in behaved (it behaves … Continue reading
