Pem’s Tech Blog

I’ve reorganized my categories, with an emphasize and 4 main categories (with sub-categories): Software Development (programming), Computers / Tech (that’s not software development), Games (as opposed to game programming), Other (anything else not related to the other 3 categories).

Depending on what direction this blog takes, I may later revisit the categories.  For example, if it ends up being 90% software development (or 90% games), then I would be likely to end up merging the other categories.

I’ve installed the Merge Tags Plugin.  Inside wp-admin, I just went to Plugins –> Add New, and searched for “merge”.  The plugin says to go to

/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category

I used this to merge my old categories “Travel” and "Mobile Devices / Services” into my new category “Mobility”.

Here’s all I did (from 2.9.0 to 2.9.2):

1) click “Upgrade Automatically” button (from inside the web page wp-admin controls).  This overwrote my WordPress theme.

1a) Last time I did disable plugins, then upgrade automatically, then re-enable recently active plugins.  I didn’t do that this time (luckily, nothing broke)

1b) At this point, all the links were working correctly

2) The new default theme gets changed with the upgrade, so I renamed the ftp folder /wp-content/themes/default/ to default_2.9.2, then uploaded (from my hard drive) my existing folder \wp-content\themes\default\ … to get back my old wordpress theme (web page style)

2a) At the moment, I’ve been using FileZilla for the FTP (on Windows)

2b) Everything worked as expected

I also clicked “upgrade automatically” for a plugin (WPtouch iPhone Theme)
