After Upgraded To WordPress 1.2
Filed in: Site News, WordPress — May 26th, 2004
Just upgraded to WordPress 1.2. I am still exploring the new features and improvements. 
The upgrade process is simple, just follow the instruction in readme.html to run the upgrade.php. However, you may need to modify your template a bit.
$siteurl
In your template, find all:
<?php echo $siteurl; ?>
and replace them with:
<?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?> .
template head
If you have noticed, the default template’s <head> part for WordPress 1.2 is slightly different with the earlier version. In order to avoid any conflict, I replaced my template <head> with the new one.
mod_rewrite rules
If you have use custom URI structure for your permalinks and archives in previous version(1.0.x), you may need to update the .htaccess file for WordPress 1.2.
After login WordPress 1.2, goto Options > Permanlinks. Copy the mod_rewrite rules at the bottom of the page and replace your .htaccess with the copied text.
If you do not do so, your permalinks may not work correctly.
Thought:
These few steps made my weblog back online again and now powered by WordPress 1.2.
Todo:
- add back my custom buttons at edit page
- add back smileys links
