Peoria Pundit on Twitter for 2009-09-07
- @olgapeoria No. Honestly, I thought it was the Basque language. I know that Peoria is a word in Basque. Are you in Peoria, Illinois, USA? in reply to olgapeoria #
- @wptavern @wpmuguru @andrea_r OK. I deleted, then uploaded all my themes. All is well now. I'm going to sleep. #
- @mariecarnes Yeah. I wish to Hell I knew what i did., in reply to mariecarnes #
- @wptavern OK … with only fresh default theme available, the site is reacting exactly the same scrambled way it has since i upgraded. in reply to wptavern #
- OK, a thread about my issues is posted in @WPTavern forum. #
- @wptavern I absolutely assure you I received a message telling me I entered an invalid referer. I'll try to register a 2nd time. in reply to wptavern #
- @mariecarnes I might do that. Movable Type worked for me for a while … I'm likely to have to pay for support with WPMu anyway. in reply to mariecarnes #
- @wptavern Oh, I want to try the forum. I only need four hours of sleep tonight. in reply to wptavern #
- @mariecarnes Yeah, i know. I'm trying to get it fixed. Massive problems after an upgrade. Trying to get help now. in reply to mariecarnes #
- @wptavern Nice forum. It rejected me. Invalid referrer. in reply to wptavern #
- @mariecarnes Yeah. I'm discussing that now. What happens when you go to http://peoriastation.blogpeoria.com in reply to mariecarnes #
- @wptavern Does your site's forum have any information about how this upgrade can cause the problems i am experiencing? in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern And the advice is soon followed by a lecture about my failure to upgrade. #
- @wptavern ALMOST every piece of advice I've been given has been about fixing a hacking incident, and I'm screaming that it isn't in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? There has been almost NO support today for failed upgrading, THAT is my complaint! in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern And THAT is the bottom line in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern The WPMU community repeats same mantra: Upgrading is good, therefore your concerns are invalid and not to be taken seriously. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern AGAIN: This is way to treat users, ignoring their complaints. READ Cluetrain Manifesto. USer/customers opinions are NOT wrong. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern AGAIN This difficulty is one of the reasons so many cannot or are reluctant to upgrade. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern AGAIN smug complacency and assumptions of wonderfulness of WP and WPMu makes it heard to grasp that upgrading OFTEN fails. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern AGAIN: Lack of upgrading is not the cause of worms and virii and trojans. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern AGAIN too many (not all) in WP and WPMu were lightning quick to heave all blame onto those who failed to upgrade. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern AGAIN: My site worked before the upgrade. It experienced same problems when I upgraded BEFORE the worm appeared. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern AGAIN (if been hearing broken records al day) the issue isn't the worm, it's the upgrading. The process is far from flawless. in reply to wptavern #
- @lisaling Re: Van Jones: The problem is that Obama campt cannot keep giving Culture War Red Meat to the righties. Too much is at stake. in reply to lisaling #
- @wptavern And 90 percent of the jerks who lectured us all are no where to be found. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern THIS is exactly why I didn't update. THIS is why many people put off updating. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern Then have to read one jerk after another call me an idiot who isn;t smart enough to update. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern It's one thing to follow expert advice and update a working blog, end up with a non-working blog. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern SO, call them an idiot like every smug jerk on WP did today on Twitter. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern And of course, I'll also delete the plugins and mu-plugins .. and when I run a site with NO OLD FILES AT ALL, and is still borked in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern Right now, I am deleting every single user theme and going ONLY with themes in the downloaded version. My users wil be SOOO happy in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern Forgive my WP crankiness — I am in the 8th hour of trying to complete an upgrade in a manner that doesn't leave my site borked. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern OMG! WP 2.6.5! The stupid lazy idiots! Everyone in WP community needs to tweet the NYT about how stupid they are to use WP 2.6.5. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern Do they serve pecan pie? 'cause anyone deciding to use WordPress now is nuts … I got a million of 'em. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern Presumably, the NYT will hire professionals to run their WPMu site. #
- I am now deleting ALL of my thermes, and going only with the three that came with the new version of WPMu.. #
- @wptavern "Something is wrong, you should fix it." No kidding. That's what I've been trying to do. Like I said: A jump the shark moment. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern I do customer service for a living. This is the stuff that makes loyal customers switch brands. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern This was the same upgrade that the ENTIRE WPMu and WP was telling me I was a lazy moron for not doing. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern Open-source or not, WP and WPMu are PRODUCTS, and right now I am not a happy user. My site was NOT hacked, The upgrade failed. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern Think about the fact you are using MICROSOFT"s argument when people criticize their vulnerabilities. in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern This is why many won't upgrade. NOT stupidity. NOT laziness. Automattic needs to realize this is potential 'jump the shark' moment in reply to wptavern #
- @wptavern Popularity of wordpress doesn't explain why my site gets borked EVERY time I upgrade. THIS is why people hate to upgrade. in reply to wptavern #
- Hey, @pauloflaherty you called WPMU who don't upgrade stupid, but YOUR site is down. HA Ha. #
- Oh, this is bullshit. There are NO tweets with "wordpress" in them? Search is screwed. #
- I'll need to be able to move all the posts to a new location … or advise people to move their own posts to WordPress.com #
- So, is anyone aware of a good alternative to WordPress Mu? I love it, love the community. But I'm sick of constant need to upgrade … #
- I am beginning to think It's time to move away from WPMu to something I pay for and get get people to fix. #
- Sorry for the rant. Just sick of spending every waking moment upgrading sites because of vandals. #
- THIS is why people hate to upgrade. It unreliability of upgrades discourages people to protect their sites. #
- In fact, it has pretty much the same issues it had when I tried to upgrade it prior to this worm problem. It's the UPGRADE that failed. #
- Feh. My WPMU site was working fine, no problems. I was warned that the universe would end without an upgrade. I did. Now it is borked. #
- @donncha @wpmuguru @andrea_r Can you guys look at this? Post upgrade and my site is borked http://bit.ly/3YzH0U Thanx in advance #
- wpmuguru @andrea_r Can you guys look at this? Post upgrade and my site is borked http://bit.ly/3YzH0U #

- @Alyssa_Milano No. 50:"You thought Doogie Howser/Samantha Micelli was hot" You were a little YOUNG for me back in the 1980s, but now I agree in reply to Alyssa_Milano #
- RT @ataccini RT @badbanana: "Capitalism is evil," says Michael Moore's new film. Tickets are $10. #
- I am trying to back up my WPMu database. table wp_site_comments alone is more than 140 MB and counting. Geeze! #
- @daveshomeroast You are a good Dad. What else did you do in Peoria? in reply to daveshomeroast #
- RT @daveshomeroast Just back from Peoria, the only city in the state showing "Hero of the Rails." Both boys declare it the best film ever . #
