Somebody said WordPress V2.7 has a totally different administrator interface, this make me curious about it, so decided to upgrade my website this night, just want to look at how different it is.
1. no backup db, no backup WordPress V2.6.5 codes, just using last night backup
2. access wp-admin, disable all plugins
3. ftp login, uploaded default theme
4. modify theme used from my personal theme(SimpleIT1999) to default theme
5. upload new codes of WordPress V2.7
6. access wp-admin, click upgrade, succeed. Read more…
The post to remember my first theme, SimpleIT1999. The theme took me one afternoon and one and half night, about 14 hours to finish it.
In this theme, I use 4 sidebars to display dynamic and fixed content.
The left image is screenshot.
WordPress default theme is very beautify, but the usage of sidebar is fixed.
Today, tested some thought of the sidebar’s usage, passed.
If there is enough time, maybe I’ll make a new theme based on the default theme.
From 2008-11-20, I have used WordPress for half of month(used before, but didn’t understand its plugins), and most functions/Plugins have been tested. It’s time to read code and do some modification.
