PHP 5 and WP 2.2.2

September 2nd, 2007 by admin

As I’m prone to do, I decided to give myself a project this weekend. It involves the Lingo/Giraf thing I was working on months ago. My coding skills aren’t quite that good, so I figured I would see if MediaWiki 1.10.1 could be adapted for use in that project. It looks like it works okay on my PC, but with the site on the PC, I can’t check it with the Palm T|X.

Long story short, I upgraded the whole website to PHP 5. As suspected, it broke some things, namely WordPress. I upgraded WordPress to 2.2.2 to see if that helped, and it didn’t really. What I had to do was remove the SpamKarma2 plugin along with the wp-contact-form. The contact form isn’t a big loss. SpamKarma2 was a mixed bag. Ever since installing it, I would get all kinds of fatal errors relating to memory (e.g. tried to allocate …). Plus, I found myself logging in less often because I knew SK2 would take care of the spam. I got lazy.

Anyway, WordPress seems to be back to normal more-or-less, minus a couple of plugins. I’ll probably have to sort out problems as they occur.
