Upgraded to WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious”

Tuesday, June 22, 2010 @ 4:10 pm by Sofie Hofmann

I have upgraded the nine (9) sites and blogs below out of the twelve (12) sites that I am maintaining up to now. I had no problem upgrading the nine (9) sites and blogs from WordPress 2.9.2 to WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious” but have a serious problem now with the three (3) remaining sites.

Weggis along Lake Lucerne Switzerland
PAGTATAP Foundation
Philippine Seafarers Assistance Programme
Leocadio Alonsagay Dioso Memorial Public Library

These three (3) remaining sites are using a period at the Category section under Permalinks instead of the category word itself or any word for that matter. I used the Posts feature instead of the Pages feature to create pages in these sites for dynamic pages purposes. But now, WordPress 3.0 does not recognize the redirection.

I have no problem using the words archives and category to replace the period in other sites. But in these three (3) sites, I just cannot find the right term to replace the period as the pages appear as pages not posts and without any category.

Tugbong Festival
Patria Diesel Power Plant Issue
Semirara Dumpsite Issue

I experimented converting the Photo Gallery category and posts at the Patria Diesel Power Plant Issue site into pages leaving the News Updates, the only category that would remain as the other pages have been created using Pages feature, and it worked fine. But I am not sure if I am really going to implement it.

But the pages at the Semirara Dumpsite Issue and the Tugbong Festival sites were created using the Posts feature. I do not want to convert the pages yet using the Posts feature now into pages using the Pages feature. It would be a lot of work as there are a lot pages to convert. But it seems like, I have to do it sooner or later. I just do not feel like using another word between the domain name and the pages. But I hope to be able to find a better solution.

WordPress is such a good publishing platform but sometimes it is also giving me a hard time because of some inconsistencies like this one now.

Nevertheless, WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious” is such a good release. Please watch the video if you would like to know more about WordPress 3.0.

Thank you, WordPress Team!

By the way, I have not neglected this site. I was on vacation and I normally do not blog when I am on vacation.

Keep on reading! Thank you! :)
