Wordpress has upgraded its blogging software again and this time it has added many features I don’t use, but will when its done.
I have to first make sure all my plugins work with the new version and my theme. Therein is the problem. I haven’t been able to confirm any of them work! The author of the theme and my major spam plug-in have no upgrades on their sites, or indications they are working to upgrade them.
So during the next week I will be searching for a new theme that works with 2.3 and trying to find a temporary replacement to Spam Karma (I can’t use akismet so don’t comment about it).
If anyone has any ideas or have done an upgrade, let me know how it went.
I am also looking to learn how to create a feed output with the .php file to more fit want I want shown and clickable links in it other than whats in the post. Again, any direction is most appreciated.
I am reading the Wordpress site often to see the issues others are having and how errors were fixed.
Thanks for your patience in this moving time — again.

Jo,
Fixing the template really only requires you to add one line of code to your index.php file.
Go to Presentation
Then to Theme Editor
Open up your index.php (may say Main Index Template, but when you open it, at the top it will say it’s “index.php”
Look for a line of code that starts with:
[EDITED: Sean emailed me the code because it's not showing up!]
This will make the new Tag function work. You will need to do the exact same in single.php. This really is ALL you need to do to your theme.
Now, if you’re using Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin, you need to deactivate it, it will cause a conflict. You CAN import your tags though to the new tag format from it. (let me know if you need to know about that)
The other big conflict people are having is with the WP plugin Google Site Map. If you’re using it, deactivate it.
And that’s about it
Let me know if you have problems.
