Pretty Painless Upgrade

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

That is the upgrade to Movable Type 3.3 over at my Child Abuse blog. I just extracted the downloaded zip file and uploaded the files to the site, pointed my browser to the usual login page and it prompted me to run an upgrade script and away I was. I’m looking forward to seeing more of what they’ve put into this version.

If you’re thinking of upgrading your own site, you might want to take a look at this post about what plugins are not compatible. It may affect your decision.

As always, while I think everything’s working, if you are over there and spot something that isn’t quite right, please let me know!

Update: Obviously, I spoke too soon. While all the database connections work and I can make changes to plugins, etc. I can’t post anything new! There is obviously a setting or file permission I’ve missed, but with the MT forums being off-line it’s not really easy to find a solution right now. In the meantime, anyone ever seen a “PreSave Failed” message?

Update #2: After a few failed attempts at finding a solution, I’ve rolled back to version 3.2 and done a database restore. Maybe after the forums are back I’ll research a solution and try again.

    Yeah the front page of the blog might not work exactly the way it’s supposed to for a few days. Some of the older posts that still show on the front page don’t actually have individual pages, and the comments appear to be gone but they all work the way they’re supposed to on the…

    Had a nice weekend visiting with Angela’s family, and, as usual, ate too much food. 🙂 But now, as much as I hate to say, it’s Monday and I’m back at work again. Seems like I have a bunch of data that came in through the website that I’ll need to wade through and make…
