Upgrading WordPress and WPML

piet — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:58:34 +0000

My blog site (i.e. this site) was in need of an update. I hadn’t updated WordPress for quite some time. The most important reason was that the site used Gengo to make it a multilingual site with corresponding posts in English and Dutch connected. Not that I have that many posts that are bi-lingual, but [...]

Converting WordPress from Gengo to WPML – part 2

In this post I am going to investigate the structure of categories and tags in WordPress.

Categories and tags

Some people have reported that Gengo wouldn’t be compatible with WordPress 2.8. With the patch that I mentioned in my previous post it does work however. But I must admit that I [...]

WordPress upgrade

About a week ago I upgraded my WordPress installation. Before I forget how it went I want to describe it here.

I had not upgraded WordPress for some time. I had 2.7.2 or something. At that moment there was 2.8.3. I always try out the upgrade on a local copy of the site on my laptop. [...]

Bad interaction between Tiga theme and Gengo plugin

piet — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 21:39:41 +0000

Suddenly Gengo doesn’t work anymore with the Tiga theme. When I deactivate Gengo it works. With Gengo and another theme it works. But with the Tiga theme and Gengo activated it doesn’t work: the pages are empty. Apparently somewhere php crashes then.

For the time being I decided to switch off Gengo.
