Feeds, Pownce and WP 2.3

Started by dancameron · 10 months ago

So some of you might have noticed that my feeds are completely out of whack. Well since the upgrade to 2.3 some plugins that say they are 2.3 compatible aren’t working. However, I’m not completely sure it’s the plugins causing the issue because I’m g ... Continue reading »

    First, you did a fresh 2.3 install right? Because I remember that you mentioned an incomplete SVN upadte at some point.

    Assuming that's the case, and all your WP files are version 2.3, then the issue you outlined above is definitely a plugin issue, because there are no references to the post2cat table in any 2.3 code (I just checked), other than the upgrade routines, which copy some data out into the new taxonomy system and then drops those old category related tables.

    My best guess is that plugin authors may have tested their changes on a pre-release version of 2.3, because I don't think the upgrade routine was modified to drop the category tables until right before the 2.3 release. So I'm guessing that they tested (if they did, in fact, test their plugins) against a database that had not been run through the released version of the upgrade routine.

    As for pounce, I don't know about that. I'll have to think about it, but I'm extremely hesitant to sign up for yet another service.

    "I shouldn’t be getting these errors after the complete re-install I did this morning. "

    That still doesn't explain the errors with auto-save. Unless that's another plugin incompatibility.

    Yeah, I saw that, I was just confirming it, since if that's the case then it's 100% definitely a plugin related issue.

    It's definitely not the WordPress 2.3 code issuing that query, so therefore it must be a plugin.

    It could easily be related to auto-save via a plugin hook that fires whenever any post is saved.

    Hi there,
    upgraded today and have the very same problem. My updated 2.3 Wordpress doesnot have the _post2cat table. While two other pre 2.3 blogs have the table. The plugin that brakes the 2.3 is in my case the extended live archives plugin. Everytime I try to post I get the garbled output, but the messages are still posted. weird!

    This is expected behavior, as the 2.3 upgrade drops the obsolete tables "categories", "link2cat", and "post2cat".

    They aren't used anymore, so any plugin that depends on them would be broken anyway.

    I did a fresh WP 2.3 Install and have the same problem only when using the theme ICE 3.17(http://milo.peety-passion.com/category/themes/), I think it's a plugin issue.
