Update Your Plugins After You Upgrade WordPress 2.8

You need to upgrade the plugins after you upgrade to WordPress 2.8.

Yeah I know. I too hate upgrades but they make WordPress better. Moreover they are making it simpler by one click upgrade from your admin interface and they do not cost any thing.

I recently ran into a trouble after WordPress 2.8 was installed on my previous version. i used automatic upgrade from admin panel.

After the upgrade was successful I started receiving errors on trying to access website.

Even I could not log into admin panel.

The error was related to Redirection plugin

All i was getting was this kind of error display

“Call to undefined method Redirection::_weak_escape() in /home/username/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 487″

The beutiful thing about WordPress is its support system. i searched for the error in Google and found folowing solution

• Log into your host manager account or take help of your FTP.
• Go to wp-content/plugin folder of your WordPress installation.
• Locate redirection folder and rename it to something like redirection2
• You should be able to login now into your admin panel of WordPress.
• Go to plugin page and upgrade redirection plugin

In that page you would notice that in addition to activated and deactivaated plugin  titles at beginning of page, you also can filter the list to get upgradable plugins.

Click that link and see which plugins you need to upgrade.

That is all. Your WP2.8 is ready with latest plugins.
