New WordPress 3.5 ?Elvin? - GoFuckYourself.com

VenusBlogger · 12-11-2012, 04:57 PM

Good stuff.

http://wordpress.org/news/2012/12/elvin/

Go update now.

V_RocKs · 12-11-2012, 05:12 PM

Problem: Some plugins like headspace that use the drag and drop features don't work correctly. Haven't tested all of my other plugins yet.

I also dont like the new media manager, I'm trying to figure out if there is an option to disable it...

It shows all your images by default and takes quite some time to load and sometimes hangs.

But the rest looks quite good.

Just built a blog with it and the media thing sucks and scissors doesn't work with it. No option to set custom file directory, could probably edit the db for that. No option to enable or disable remote posting, on by default I guess. Wont be upgraded my blogs any time soon...

Miguel T · 12-11-2012, 06:56 PM

Updating

eroticfem · 12-11-2012, 08:08 PM

Just updated and finally it works great with IE.

V_RocKs · 12-11-2012, 09:04 PM

This will be the second time I didn't upgrade WP right away... The first was when they went to the new admin. It didn't work with 1/2 of my plugins.

CYF · 12-11-2012, 09:21 PM

working fine here, still got a few blogs to update. Of course 3.5.1 will come out in 2 hours right?

adult-help · 12-11-2012, 09:37 PM

I dont know why but every time I update the WordPress from the admin it gets stuck at installing it. Even more - it gets installed fine ,at least it seems so but the message still says "installing..." .

geirlur · 12-12-2012, 09:14 AM

I updated on 1 blog and that was enough. Keeping the older versions on the rest of my sites. The new media uploader ruins my routine and makes posting so much slower..

so yeah if anyone finds out about a method to use the old upload system lmk..

robwod · 12-12-2012, 09:25 AM

geirlur: I find the new media uploader adds at least one extra step to including a gallery as now you have to manually select everything you uploaded and "create a gallery" from it to include. I see what they were going for, but I think it introduced a performance hit to productivity as well.

One other thing I noticed, they've removed the ability to specify a custom uploads folder on new installs entirely, and also defaulted video embeds to 500 width (thus removing it form the general settings). The logic they use is that it is better suited in a them specific function file and, if not present, default is now 500 pixels wide with an auto height of 1.5 times the width.

The default filter for jpeg_quality is also now deprecated. This needs to be set in the functions.php file now to apply a quality filter when images are uploaded and saved.

I'm sure like everything, I will get used to it. But until I get used to it, it does seem to cause a productivity hit in terms of efficiency.

Wordpress Devs are typically pretty arrogant, in my opinion, when it comes to any type of criticism or negative feedback. Certainly they tend to get really defensive in the face of negative reaction to a feature. Thus, I highly doubt they'll change anything on this -- so people may as well get used to it.

spankmo · 12-12-2012, 09:56 AM

agree - not a fan of the new media manager - having a problem setting featured images from my NextGen Galleries - any ideas?

MrGusMuller · 12-12-2012, 10:38 AM

Updated a wp to the new version...
now, i can't move widgets....
also $wpdb->prepare() need more arguments...
this is what I'v found in 5min.

be aware!

MrGusMuller · 12-12-2012, 10:59 AM

In a fresh instalation, the drag and drop widgets works okay.

VenusBlogger · 12-12-2012, 01:27 PM

I think there is a way to fix the media uploader, but still waiting for confirmation from wp team.

Also the errors with plugins and $wpdb arguments errors, has solution, well, hit me up if you need a hand with it.

Thats one thing I didnt like that was taken out of the UI, I had a client who didnt want the traditional wp-content/uploads for images. he had /pics/filename.jpg etc.

To do this in wordpress 3.5 you can set a define for the constant UPLOADS, its not very well documented, and not used previously because it was set via options.

but add this to your wp-config.php and it will do it for you.

Code:

define(?UPLOADS?, ?wp-content/pics?); // for domain.com/wp-content/pics
define(?UPLOADS?, ?pics?); // for domain.com/pics

Useful tip

Media uploader sucks. Now whoever is sitting behind me have increased chances to see what I am doing, if I am doing it in public place. Shit . Who make plugin to add old style uploader and sell it, will become rich ,fast.

no need to charge for it, it can be done for free...

btw, to fix that "wpdb->prepare" error with plugins, it just needs a small piece of code to add a second arguments and it will fix it. Not hard.

FIREFOX, which has been working like shit lately?

GOOGLE Chrome, where you cannot add the GOOGLE TOOLBAR and have many buttons and features?...

here are old versions,just download the one you like:

http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/

i forgot the instructions but it was easy for me, i think deleting and overwritting entire wp-includes folder and then files in root folder (except wp-config). Try to find it on net somewhere though.

do backups of course,including database..
