I finally got the chance to sit down and take a closer look at what’s been happening to my WordPress 2.5 installation. As a fan of WordPress, I wanted to experience the 2.5 thing by not disabling anything other than 3rd party plugins, but the suggestion posted here about disabling plugins and re-enabling them one by one didn’t really work in my case for some peculiar reason.
I was left with no choice but to utilize the No-Flash-Uploader. It fixed my media upload issues, and strangely enough, it seems to fix my issue about the database backups as well. I have tried doing both and it was as if I was still using 2.33, only better looking now that I am using fluency admin.
As good as WordPress is, I don’t think disabling everything I have been using for ages just to get some fancy uploader to work is good sense at all. Besides, it’s not as if its working for me right now right? Hopefully the WordPress development team will get to fix this and everyone shall be back in WordPress heaven.
As for my Fotobook plugin issues, everything seems to be in its non-working state as before. I did notice however that with my attempt to continue the failing import of albums from Facebook yesterday, my Web space consumption mysteriously quadrupled. I am not sure how and why this happened, but the source of the huge files seemed to be core files of some sort.
Update
It seems that there is another problem I have with 2.5, and that is with widgets. Having multiple instances of the text widget never game me problems before. But now, it seems like I can only have one at a time. Otherwise, the previous instance would be overwritten. Tsk… 2.5 is turning out to be a headache.
