WordPress 2.5.1 update, except fixes has issues too
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.
