2.8 Plugin Compatibility

June 23, 2009
by Ryan Boren

Some plugins are causing grief for those upgrading to 2.8.

  • HyperDB needs to be updated to the latest version, otherwise tags won’t save.
  • DB Cache also prevents tags from being saved. I haven’t seen an update for it yet.
  • Plugins that load old versions of jQuery for all admin pages will break all kinds of stuff.  Plugins should use the version of jQuery that ships with WP.  If a plugin must use a particular version of jQuery, that version should be queued only for the plugin’s own pages.
  • Themes that call get_categories() from functions.php before the init action fires will fail.  2.8.1 will workaround this, but ideally these themes should update so that they can handle custom taxonomies properly.

    So is ASIDESHOP. Can’t use it with 2.8.

    I have no idea what any of that meant.

    I’ll get my coat.
