Since we upgraded to 2.7 and now to 2.7.1 I have been unable to display images. Something is broken. The box that used to come up: “Insert in Post” just never appears, and so while the images are uploaded, i can’t get them to display. Totally frustrating. Any advice from anyone?

Yeah there doesn’t seem to be to much difference with the new update, I’ll stick with the 2.7 version for my music site/blog until there it some new major features fro the Dev team.

After reading your post and comments, I decided to upgrade my WordPress site to 2.7.1. I was scared to lose some data but the automatic upgrade worked like a charm. I have now a nice upgraded blogging platform. Thanks to you.

I absolutely love wordpress, it’s so smooth, especially with the automated upgrade, just 1 click and it’s done, no glitches, no errors noticed whatsoever !

Little update:

I got a plugin named ‘Disable WordPress Core Update’ which got rid of it, but on the downside obviously prevents it from informing me when the next update comes out.
I’ll just have to turn it off every now and then, or just keep upto speed on the wordpress site.

Yeah, I saw it had been released. I was going to update my copy (my plan after moving from WordPress in 2.7 to keep it around until a security issue came about), but then came something I forgot about: just how hard it is to install a new version. I mean, it usually works eventually, but takes way too many failed attempts. So, I just decided to take it down today.

BTW, I got the same message as JayD with 2.7.

Looking for a little tech advice on the update. I can’t use the auto-update as my host doesn’t seem to like it, so I did it manually. On my dashboard it now displays:

You are using WordPress 2.7.1. Update to 2.7.1

and the banner is still at the top telling me the new version is out and it is time to update. Its not a huge problem but is kind of annoying, just wondered if anyone else had encountered it or knew of a way to remedy it.

I love and hate when WordPress releases new versions.
I love it because it adds more features.
I hate it because I have to install it.
