I was using WordPress posts to study Genesis verses in a variety of languages that I’ve studied (Hebrew, Arabic and Spanish) and to look at what online commentaries had to say about those verses.
Then one day I upgraded to WordPress 2.2 and the language coding in a whole bunch of past posts turned to unrecognizable mush. I found that rather discouraging and never got around to fixing it.
This morning I stumbled across a blog post that showed a very simple fix for the problem. All a person had to do is remove four characters from the wp-config.php file.
So now the previously described code mush looks like Hebrew and Arabic again. You can see what I’m talking about here.
This may just mean that I’ll have to return to my occasional or even constant verse study exercises.
I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.3
I used the extremely nifty WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin to do basically all the heavy lifting.
There was a momentary scare where I thought maybe I had deleted my mysql database or done something else that was terribly and permanently destructive. However, the only problem was my antiquated version of the sideblog plugin that was clearly and completely incompatible with the new install. I deactivated the plugin and things were back to normal.
There are already some very positive changes/additions to WordPress that I’m seeing here. As usual, the WordPress developer community is doing amazing work.
