In fact it wasn't just an upgrade, I made a backup of the front-end and DB, then deleted the front-end entirely. I built up my install from scratch, carefully only uploading the plugins and theme I use, then hacking the code of K2's comments to work with Gravatar2. I haven't hacked my routine code change into the Akismet plugin yet because I'd rather leave it vanilla and it's only a cosmetic issue to the spam list. The end result? Everything now works faster and *works*. I've been having problems for a while now with the K2 and Bad Behaviour - certain combinations of settings would completely break the site. Now I just need something else to fix... I ran my upgrade this morning without a hitch.

Collis: Yeah - it's the EE price tag that's put me off so far too! Of course, if anyone from EE is reading this - and wants to give me a free copy - then I'll become your greatest evangelist to date! :) Lisa: Long-winded? No. Blatent self-promotion on the back of major news? Probably. An entertaining and interesting read? Most certainly. :) Tara: Chicken. ;) --- I haven't actually done it yet by the way. I've spent the last ten hours trying to get the Britster server to run PHP 4 and 5 at the same! ;) Little bit later... Aaron: Glad it went well for you!

Took over two hours and wasn't made any easier by my server deciding to have a bit of downtime during the process. Not noticing much difference for my efforts although I'm going to play around with widgets and get them put into my downloadable theme. I’ve just done the dreaded upgrade.
