WordPress version 2.6.1 was released yesterday – this blog has upgraded. I’ve not experienced any problems with the upgrade at all. This is not a mandatory or security upgrade at all – you’re safe not to do the upgrade, if you don’t want to (doesn’t it feel like we JUST upgraded to 2.5 …then 2.6..now…? haha). It’s more of a maintenance update, as reported by Keith @ WTC.
The official WordPress blog reports: “If youโre happy with 2.6, however, keep on using it. You need not upgrade to 2.6.1 if 2.6 is getting the job done.”
Some of the main updates to this version are:
- Some improvements for international users
- Permalink fix for those using IIS hosting configurations
- The red marker for plugins that need updates sometimes didn’t go away, even after you updated the plugin. That’s been fixed – it should go away now. (yay)
- Links were not assigned to the default Link Category once a Link Category was deleted. Now they are.
Check out a full listing of bugs fixed in 2.6.1.
Download WordPress 2.6.1 and have fun!
Hey Lisa, Thanks for the share, I did the upgrade earlier, I thought it was for security!! lol i even posted about it ๐
By the way did you change the looks of your blog?! looks nice ๐

Hi Lisa.
First, I have to apologize for my English, I know it is not prefect because of my mother tongue which is Spanish.
Second, I have to say that your blog looks awesome.
Third, I wonder if you could please tech me how to use WordPress, because I was told to create a blog, but I dunno how to do it even if I never heard about WordPress. Recently I realized about it, and I found yours.
Thanks for everything.
Al the best, best wishes:d
Thanks this answered my question. I’ve been having that Upgrade to 2.6.1 for a few days. But I felt like: is it even worth it? Should I even upgrade it?
Since we are on the topic of WP and you seem to be very knowledgeable. I assume this blog is custom made, its theme and all. Do you discuss this in your book? How to make your own custom themes?
Is there a way to make your blog look more like a website?
Lisa –
I’m trying to publish my first podcast, using WordPress 2.6, xMark theme, and PowerPress. I cannot find a feed address. All the suggestions at WP Forum don’t work. Is this a problem with WP 2.6? With xMark? Grateful if you could help. Thanks
I have your book “WordPress for Dummies”, it has been extremely helpful. I am getting an “Not found” message when I try to create a blog based on the instructions in the book. I create my front page but the blog is giving me a not found page message. Any advice you can give would be extremely helpful.
Thank you
and now come 2.6.2 :”> yah yah..upgrade again.. :)>-
