WordPress 2.8 doesn’t play nice with my theme :(
by Stii
I’m temporarily reverted back to my old theme. When I upgraded to WordPress 2.8 I got a very obscure problem with the Ajax functions when writing a new post. Not much useful information other than:
'Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [@href^='#']'
Big help that is! :P I’ll debug the bugger soon when I have more time and had some decent sleep… If any of you have any suggestions in the meantime, they will be more than welcome!
ek hou actually meer hiervan as van die nuwe een. myne het ook gebreek, en tot my spyt is die theme wat ek gebruik het nie meer gesupport nie. so dis ek versus php wat ek van geen kant af ken nie :/
ek begin dit ernstig oorweeg om sommer in elk geval my hele site oor te design.
ek hou van daai oor design idee… dis altyd ‘n meer as goeie rede vir ‘n geheel en al nuwe ding as iets breek! die keer doen ek dit self.
Ek wil ook op ‘n stadium oor design, maar ek sukkel nog met die Drupal vs WordPress gedagte :)
Tiny, daai is ‘n no-brainer IMHO! WordPress all the way.
Man, I’ve heard a lot of problems with 2.8, but check this out: iMod crashed about a week ago, so I upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.8 and didn’t encounter any problems, can you believe that?!?!
Trust me, iMod’s 90% custom coded/hacked.
Amazed.
I’m no regex wizard by any means but maybe there’s a character or two that needs to be escaped to work correctly with the new version of WP? Stab in the dark, my 2c.
Chris, I am truly amazed! :) You were lucky this round.
Deems, it has something to do with jQuery and selectors. Apparently the @ is deprecated from version 1.3.x onwards. Thing is, finding the bugger that causes the problem proves to be painful. I suspect it is in one of the packed javascripts in my theme… bugger :(
