The second problem was an issue with the post editing page, which I remedied by... well, actually I didn't. I only post posts, so it's not that big a deal.

Nothing happened to my categories, they were displayed like they had to. Did you use the category to tag converter from Manage > Categories ? In case you did, that might be the problem. I usually don't upgrade my blog with the latest version of wordpress, but wait for two versions to be released and the use the second one most recent. This way you should not have any problems.

Mainly, there were plugins problems. I had to update most of my plugins to the latest versions. And there were also problems related to tagging, having to modify a couple of lines in the code to display them properly with the new system. I do have one plugin that still does not work, the one i use for my Sitemap page. It's called DD sitemap generator. Anyone have any idea on how can i fix it? Thanks I had a couple of problems too , but it didn’t took more than half an hour to solve them.

At this point in time I am skipping 2.3 completely ... subject, of course to how Automatics cleans up the mess they have made ofwhat _was_ the hands-down best blogging platform.

First the categories disappeared. Then weird characters started showing up all over the posts. Worse, the wp-admin/upgrade.php command didn't work. I just get error messages. This signifies database update failure. After trying the 5th time, the blog simply stopped loading. I get a white screen. Darn. Googling the web for 2.3 upgrade failures led to quite a number of seething folks. Turns out that using themes other than the standard WP offering causes a flop. Try upgrading using the basic theme.

Google Sitemaps plugin broke it and a few other smaller ones. I needed to upgrade several plugins as well. A little more painful than the normal upgrade but not to bad.
