WordPress 2.9 early upgrade woes
29 Dec 2009
Just last week, I decided to click on that link on my WordPress dashboard that tells me there’s a new version out and I can upgrade it if I want to.
Upgrading WordPress has been seamless ever since they integrated that auto-updater function so I just decided to click it and upgrade my installation to WP 2.9.
After a few days, I realized that I was not receiving any of the automated backups that I configured to be sent to my e-mail everyday.
First, I thought it was a conflict with one of the plug-ins. Noticed that my XML-Sitemap plug-in was in perpertual re-build mode. Rebuilt my sitemap and still the cron job wasn’t working. Then I eventually reverted to the modern day Ernie Baron – Google – for some answers. Found out it was really a bug with 2.9 among others.
Here’s how to fix them.
I really don’t schedule posts but if you happen to use the scheduler, and running on 2.9, you better apply the bug fix or your post won’t get posted as they should.
I hear 2.9.1’s already in beta so I think we can all expect that upgrade to come out.

i also tried to do the upgrade but i decided to switch back. it was due to my host’s outdated MySQL version.

Oooh. Hosts should be future-proofing their tech. Good thing, I keep an account each with two different providers so I can temporarily relocated my site just in case.
