Matt and I have upgraded a number of sites with good results. Just
make sure you are upgrading from 2.1 or later releases. If you're
upgrading from something older the upgrade will bomb. Fixing that is
on the to-do.
Category related plugins will likely break horribly. The UTW
importer should work, but I haven't tested it too much lately.
Upgrade doesn't delete the categories, link2cat, or post2cat tables,
so you can always fall back.
Ok, here's the deal. I just upgraded all my live sites to 2.3-alpha.
spencerp.net - was originally running trunk and utw plugin. Ran
upgrade, then went and converted UTW tags to WP tags no problem. Then
just modified the theme files like I had other one. Tags are showing
fine...
vindictivebastard.net - uploaded 2.3-alpha files. Ran upgrade. Checked
front page, and ALL the tags were listed in tag cloud. Tags under
posts went bye bye. I then converted cats to tags that went fine. Then
re-assigned UTW tags (800 or so) from UTW to WP tags whatever... they
all were assigned to posts. Went to front page, no change.
Code on theme files to show tags under posts is this:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'the_tags' ) ) : the_tags('Tags: ', ', ',
'<br />'); endif; ?>
Which DOES work on spencerp.net cause I used same code, and the WP
tags are showing no problem...
The sidebar TAG Cloud code is this and it's calling ALL the tags,
what's the correct way to show only like 50 or whatever?
<?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=8&largest=22'); ?>
Besides all that, what steps should I take to get all my tags working
like peaches and cream again? LOL! Drop specific tables in database?
Re-run upgrade again or ... how should I handle this one... Thanks in
advance...
Going along with that above there, I was just in PhpMyAdmin and noticed
tons of tags as Categories. I compared this to the database on
Spencerp.net and there is NO tags in the wp-categories, only the actual
categories themselves.
I'm pretty sure something went wrong in a previous VindictiveBastard.net
upgrade, before putting a halt on upgrading this latest time. Should I
remove all those in under wp-categories EXCEPT for the actual
categories? Or keep them there for later. Then drop terms,
term_taxonomy, and term_relationships tables and force another upgrade?
Then empty the wp-tags table, then do the Cat2Tag import? Please let me
know ASAP thanks.. LOL!
