Wordpress 2.8 now Available
Wordpress 2.8. now available to download this month. But this is a hard way for me since I never used wordpress in my personal hosting and domain before. I didn’t know how to use it in personal webhosting. After few minute login to my admin I found that it’s not to much different from the free version on the wordpress.com hosting.
But I found a notify that a new version is available on the top of my dashboard. So I tried to upgrade my wordpress to get the new version. Since this is my first time on wordpress I didnn’t have to worry about the database, I didn’t backup my database since it’s an empty database. I suggest you backup your database before you upgrade it.
So I clicked the automatic upgrade button to install the worpress with easy way. But again I got problem when doing it. It seem not enough time to install it, not because I was too buzy but my internet connection is very slow and it made me end up with not enough time notification. Maybe it need more time till the installation finish. So I decided to give more time.
This is how add more time to the script:
First I have to find this code:
$response = wp_remote_get($url, array(’timeout’ => 30));
I found it in folder wp-admin -> includes -> info.php
Basically it’s in info.php file. And then I changed the 30 to 120. But the installation not succeeded, My guess was still not enough time. Then I changed it too 3000. And then I tried to upgrade it again. Finally it’s done. All run smoothly….. and then I try to use this free template for my first wordpress. I like the lay out, simple and not too many colors on it. I love the clean look.
Again, I got one problem. I can’t change or add the code on php or css file. But I found the solution and I have wrote about it in Making Wordpress 2.8 Writable and Editable.
