I’d like to remain silent but I certainly can’t. Despite Matt’s attempt for justification through commenting on my previous post about latest WordPress update, again facts are on my side. Four days after the availability of this update, the first issues show up on the stage, one of which could affect all users with enabled registrations plus single author blogs, and the others issues, well a little bit of small complains.
Seen on my Dashboard feeds, Weblog Tools Collection reports about a solved yet unprovided fix for the scenario when a user tries to reset his password, the password reset link sent by email from the system seems to not work giving out the error message “Sorry, that key does not appear to be valid.”
A user named Kuja Jhay wonders how the “Please update now” strip is still showing up even after I’ve upgraded to WP 2.5.1?
A Geekologist called Jim Dicecco claims: “I upgraded to version 2.5.1. None of my RSS link pages work. The shortcode is rendered as text in some cases. I’ve tried subbing other plugins but nothing works.”
Jermayn Parker askes: “Any chance this will fix the upload images problem??”
As a matter of fact I cannot deny that this update has been applauded too, nevertheless troubles usually tend to catch the attention more.
A tip for those with the password reset problem is pretty much explained by Ryan McCue a 14 year old WordPress user & developer, it’s a manual way of reseting the password through phpMyAdmin.
Finally, all those who don’t have the opportunity to access phpMyAdmin I’d be glad to make you aware that this known issues have been already fixed but are expected to be released with the future 2.5.2 update.
Update: if by any means waiting for the 2.5.2 update seems too long, Ryan has done a modest work for everyone and compressed the changed files into a .zip archive, so you could overwrite the actuals with the working ones. Hence the patch is available, but of course I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong, consider me more than away from the computer after you’ve read this.

Attempting to find some relaxation, spiritual comfort and entertainment for almost every rare weekend I get to go home, this very last one I totally failed. During all the three days I was able to stay home, I felt like a bear with a sore head, simply, nothing seemed fair and reasonable. First turbulent cause was the illness of my mother plus she broke her leg on the day I arrived home. Despite of the despair I’m aware such things happen on life, and life is full of discouragement. Nevertheless it put my Saturday to an end. Then again, incoming empathy from her and other family members I manage to get over it, but there’s some strange feeling which I kept following me whenever I went, regardless of the situation and circumstances. There were other events which need to be emphasized either for good or for bad, it’s quiet odd though but the good once are fewer, indeed not few but one and that’s one only. Except arguing with everyone surrounding me, barely but at the end came out good, I finished the 13th episode of my on-air radio emission HelixTECH, plus I was asked to be recorded for a radio ad. Those too things build up my Saturday 24h interval. All this was about the social tragical part.
Eventually, I managed the time to get back in the show, it’s been a while though, yet still feels nice and it’s fun to be in it.
