Fix Broken Plugins with WordPress 2.9
Ever since I upgraded to WordPress 2.9, some of the plugins no longer working.
Some plugins will simply showing an error, You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page, when you accessing the Settings page.
I tried to contact those plugin developers, however, many no longer update their plugins.
So, I decided to look into the code myself. And here is the small trick to make them working again.
Goto Plugins menu, use the Editor to open the plugin source code. Search for the hook, admin_head.

Change the hook name to admin_menu, and click save.

Now, your plugins should work again. Note that, this steps may not solves all the broken plugins.
By the way, if you schedule your posts in advance and have some WordPress cron jobs running (like backup, RSS, ping, etc), then might be worth to learn how to fix them. If not, just wait for WordPress 2.9.1, should be out soon.

WordPress 2.9 Carmen
WordPress 2.9 Carmen just launched couple days ago.
Recent versions of WordPress feature an Automatic Upgrade option. Just click Upgrade Automatically and within a minute, it’s done.

However, this time I had an error about allowed memory size exhausted.

This error message is because Wordpress exceeding it’s predetermined memory limit in PHP environment.
Luckily, there is an easy solution.
WordPress sets its memory limits within the wp-settings.php file.
All has to be done is change the memory limit from 32M to 64M.

Now, upgrade WordPress to the latest version without any problem.

Upgrade Your WordPress Immediately
WordPress is no 1 self-host blogging platform now, as there are millions of blogs & websites running on WordPress.
Recently, some reports that there is an “attack” on older versions of WordPress right now. According to a study revealed that 98% of WordPress blogs being run were exploitable because they were running outdated and unsupported versions of the WordPress. (source Wiki).
I believe millions WordPress users not aware of this vulnerability, especially those “hardly update” one (like me).
The latest version of WordPress is 2.8.4. If you’re still using older version, upgrade your WordPress immediately.

What I Like About WordPress 2.7 is …
Just upgraded to WordPress 2.7.
Haven’t got time to play all the new features in WordPress 2.7.
What I like most about WordPress 2.7 is the new interface, the toolbar vertically on the left.

This give me quick access to all the WordPress functions. They’re break into several sub-sections, which can expand and collapse.
What do you think?
