WordPress 2.5.1 Bug
I’ve uncovered a bug in WordPress 2.5.1. It’s posted on their forum, but I’ll explain it here, too, in hopes of somebody catching it.
I used Add Media to upload a SWF file. Since doing that, when using Add Media to upload an image file the smaller versions of the image aren’t being generated. So the sub-folder within wp-content has only the original file. Deleting the SWF file didn’t help. Very annoying.
This is the second time I’ve found a feature within WordPress that can be broken very easily. The other is the post preview feature in the editor. It just shows the current home page. I’ve been living with that limitation for over a year. None of the updates I’ve done since then has fixed it, and my worry is re-running the update for 2.5.1 won’t fix the problem with the smaller image files failing to be created.
By experimenting with a modified version of the theme I use, I’ve come up with what seems to be a workaround for this problem. I don’t care for some of the changes in the modified theme, so I’m either going to modify it myself, or I’ll find another theme I like that’s more compatible with WordPress 2.5.x
If you happened to visit a little while ago you saw me playing around with a new theme, called Giraffe2. It’s flexible in some ways, but not in others. Still not quite what I’m looking for.
I’ve edited the sidebar so it now shows the five most recent comments, excluding my own. Unfortunately, clicking on one doesn’t take you directly to the comment itself, as it should. “Internal linking” is broken. Don’t know why yet. Also, searching has been enhanced and should now include comments, although it appears you’ll just be taken to the post that contains the related comments.

Back With A Flash
I’m not up to writing anything tonight. Tomorrow, after I’ve recovered more from the flu. I just posted the virtual bubble wrap. If you’re already bored with that, you can play this racing game.

Feeling Stressed?
I may finally be on the mend from my awful bout with the flu. If so, I’ll be able to go to work on Monday and deal with a challenging technical problem. I’ve had a couple of different people send me a link to a place where you can pop virtual bubble wrap. I’ll embed it here so you can play with it.
