Finally, after much delay, upgraded myself into WordPress 2.6. Nothing much happened, the only biggest issue was that Alex King’s Popularity Contest is still not working. Activating it causes a “Fatal Error” to be displayed. But that is not news since WordPress 2.5. According to websites, Alex King is too busy to clean up his own mess.
There is an easy workable solution to this. Just go edit the popularity-contest.php file located in your plugins folder and go to line 59. Just change from this to this:
require('../../wp-blog-header.php');
to this:
require('../wp-blog-header.php');
And everything just falls into place. But that didn’t come with some silly human mistakes as well, mistakes that led me to debug php codes until the wee hours of the morning! My wife is calling me back to sleep already, and Yan Yan is crying for milk. I better sign off now.
