  • The page was no longer centered
  • The header image did spread over the entire browser window

This time I was a little more careful blaming Wordpress. You might remember – last time I thought there are problems with 2.6.5 – but I was wrong the latest Filezilla version I had a bug and was not able to upload more than two directory hierarch levels at a time.

Yeah after checking out the respective forums I learned more and found out that the problem was k2 related. Luckily the latest nightly (Feb – 12 ) did fix the problem. But it had a nice side effect. Suddenly the page template “Default  with comment” was no longer supported and resulted in a crash of my Project V96/07 page.

Again it took some time before I learned that I had to switch back to the default page template (w/o comments) and had to activate the comments with a custom field.

… as allways … I was punished for touching a running system ;)

Just Upload the files, make sure that your wp-config File is still in the root directory. And your page is up ans running. Well, except if you are using Filezilla 3.1.5.1 because this version has problems with uploading the entire File Trees. It uploads first and second level folders but nothing below and this causes strange behaviors when you access your Wordpress page.

It is really a pitty, that I thought that wordpress is the reason for the problem. But who would ever expect such a bug in Filezilla. Nevertheless it seems that the problem has been solved in the latest nightly of Filezilla. (They show the ticket as fixed in their bug tracking system).

Let’s start with the upside first:

  • The upgrade did work nicely – I uploaded the new files and the webpage still worked.

BUT two things bothered me quite a lot and finally made me change back to Wordpress 2.6.4:

  • The first thing was that it was no longer possible to sort the active Widgets by drag and drop – I head to remove widgets and add them in the correct order to overcome this problem.
  • The active navigation of my K2 template did no longer work.

I posted both problems in the respective forums and I hope that I will get help soon – until then I will stick with 2.6.4 – which works great for me.
