Upgrade to 3.2.1 is crippling blogs!

  • Sometimes upgrading is the worst thing you can do, especially when it wasn’t broken in the first place. But you place a certain amount of trust in a new release or upgrade thinking that it has been given a good round of testing so it should be ok no? Well I was wrong about that.

    I’ve been reading a few people complaining about this upgrade breaking their admin area. Well I’m in the same boat. Zemanta no longer works and I was in the middle of an important post. Can’t use it now. Also the visual editor is dead. I’m forced to write in pure html which is slower as I have to remember all the tricks and tags.

    Did anyone at WordPress even bother to test this before releasing it into the wild and crippling people’s blogs? I’m dreading checking the other bits in the admin area in case they no longer work also. Right now I just don’t kneed this. So off I go to try and deactivate everything to see if that resolves the issue but what if the admin area of that is broken and I can’t?

    I hope this gets fixed quickly.

  • I agree. This just makes me sick. I logged in to my blog this morning, and it is a mess. I am on version 3.2. The admin area is totally dysfunctional. I spent an hour trying to get it to work, but nothing changed. This is totally hopeless. I am not even going to try and use it. I even took the bait and updated the firefox due to the nag, but that made no difference either. Everything on my Internet worked fine with my previous firefox, except this wordpress admin, so you blamed firefox, and it wasn’t them.
    I have windows xp. Sorry. That is just what I have.
    Why do you constantly update and change everything?

    I am so disgusted with this, I could just scream.

    Well everything I was using up until 3.1.4. was running just great. But then came 3.2 aghhh problems all round, then Update to 3.2.1 what a mess of the admin panel. Looks really ugly and messy. I have now rolled back to 3.1.4 now admin panel and everything else looks and runs nice and smooth…

    I think I would like to roll back to 3.1.4 now. How would I do that?

    I have updated mine with out a hitch on every update.
    It is recommended to deactivate all plugins,switch to twenty ten theme and backup before you make any update.
    Most of the time is plugin or your theme not compatible with update.
    As of 3.2 the requirements have changed so I would check with host see your host account supports 3.2

    @debfg48 I was able to do a roll back of an earlier version, as I had saved a copy of version 3.1.4 and also done a back up.

    I tried to go back to 3.1, but the other versions have taken over in my admin panel and as the admin panel now has little functionality there is no option to manually upload the 3.1.4 to replace it.

    My host only goes up to 3.1. I tried to manually go back through the host, but it didn’t work.

    Hey, looks like it is fixed now, from my host. I will not be upgrading to 3.2 or 3.1.2 until the host gets compatible with it.

    Thanks everyone for commenting.

    Some themes have issues with the upgrades. I used to check with the developer before updating but In the end I sacked any theme that was showing issues with upgrades.

    We have noticed a increase in speed and efficiency through upgrading to 3.2.1 – so probably worth running through the motions to get it fixed….?

    @debfg48 out of curiosity who is your host?

    Hi everyone… I have a theme that has some broken features it seems. I contacted the guy who made the theme and he suggested I switch back to 3.1 or 3.0, but I have no idea how to do this (I’m a novice and it’s frustrating!) Can someone guide me through the steps? Thanks, I would really appreciate it! ??

    is zemanta to blaim?

    Ramoonus, as far as we know Zemanta is not to blame.
