I’ve been using the automatic upgrade for plugins when I can. It seems like half the time the update fails, but it’s usually not a big deal. Just download and update manually like normal.

Unfortuately ‘Automatic Upgrades’ (esp for plugins) is just not 100% stable as far as I can tell. I’ve read a couple of posts on the forums about how the upgrades have gone wrong, and I personally would never use the automatic upgrade for plugins myself.

@Frank

I would think you were right except that most updates come with new features or security fixes.

Now that 2.6 has come out I believe that automatic upgrades are baked right in.

so far so good with WordPress as far as I am concerned. yes, i get tons of spam but Akismet catches everything without getting any correct comments. maybe this is due to the fact that i just have a few comments a day. A bothering thing that i really dont like about WP is the update frequency. As soon as you finish updating WP, and your theme and plugin accordingly, and you can breath again because everytime you update, things can go wrong all of a sudden…here another update comes out. I am not against update, dont get me wrong pls. I am just saying that they could be less frequent. Sometimes behind all these update i see something fishy meaning that the more update the more you force people to download and visit wordpress website…maybe i am wrong

I had a permalink structure of /index.php?/%postname%/ which worked great in wp 2.0, but it stopped working in 2.5 and now I 404′s for all of my pages. After hours of htaaccess editing I finally decided to just change it to /%postname%/ and loose a ton of backlinks.

The thing that bugs me the most on this list is the User Registration thing. I get probably 5-10 new users every day, and they’re almost always spam. I don’t understand why a spambot would register a fake account in the first place. They don’t leave comments and there’s no website attached to them. It’s just annoying

I hadn’t understand if you are actually using Akismet at moment, but you know that spam filter is constant complaint of mine here. :)

There is new history feature added in 2.6 – post edit revisions, so may more appear.

Having a history would be really nice.

Wow, I hadn’t realised there were these quite critical issues with WordPress at all! Perhaps you could consider mentioning them in Trac or something? I would be especially worried about the registration part, and as I use Akismet (and build up 1000+ spam in just a few days) I usually just trust it to do its job. Maybe I should start looking into SK2?

@Stefan: I can see the comments marked as spam if I click on ‘Akismet (###)’ in the Comments sub-navigation bar, but it doesn’t mean that I go through all of them.

What I don’t like about Akismet is that it counts spam comments without showing any. How do I know it was really spam?

I use a math anti-spam tool in combination with Akismet which reduces caught and shown Akismet spam around 90%.
