Has anyone updated to Wordpress 3.5
 

Has anyone updated to wordpress 3.5? any troubles? wonderment?

No issues of significance.

:) *audible chuckle*.
"of significance" to you Larry. You could fix any issues in literally seconds, issues that might send anyone else into a trail of try and fix but end up destroying their site completely.

Upgrading.... scary stuff :)

Yeah I guess it does depend on level of comfort and familiarity. I do, however, always update my test site first and then some less important sites. I also have backups (in most cases) before upgrading.

I have been working with it for 2 days. the only thing I don't like is the editor. The tabs used to say visual and HTML. now they say visual and text.

I think that could be confusing to people who don't have a high tech experience. Even newbies know what HTML is. I suspect they won't know what the difference between visual and text is.

I haven't seen any major problems, although since updating to WP3.5 and ATA 3.7.10, I notice that my WP-Cirrus tag cloud widget has stopped working. I have no idea why.

uncheck 'Disable the visual editor when writing', no tab shows up to show you what you have selected. Oh well. :p

I think if you are concerned about WP 3.5 issues, you should be monitering the wordpress.org forums.

I just installed it and it works fine for me - try disabling all your other plugins and see what happens.

I tired that but it didn't help, and now I also get an error message from Jetpack saying that the site is not accessible (although it was fine before). Hmmm... I suspect a setting in my Better WP Security module, but what?

did you disable ALL your plugins at the same time and then just enable WP-Cirrus tag cloud?

Yes, that's exactly what I did. WP-Cirrus still didn't work. I have however managed to get Jetpack working again by re-enabling that plugin before anything else.

odd, that widget works fine for me, what happens if you swap to twenty-twelve and use the widget? does it work then?

The same thing happened in twenty-twelve, but then it is OK if I go back to ATA 3.7.7.

Ahhh.. wait a minute. The WP-Cirrus widget is not showing up on the widget page in 3.7.10, and I had mistakenly used the Tag Cloud widget instead, which of course is not the same thing.
I used to just drag the WP-Cirrus widget onto the sidebar, but it doesn't seem to be showing up now?

so are you saying you can't drag the widget to one of the sidebars or thatt you can drag it, but it won't stay in the sidebar.

I'm saying that the WP-Cirrus widget completely vanishes from the widgets page when I switch theme to ATA 3.7.10 or twenty-twelve. I even tried dragging it from the sidebar to the inactive widgets area before switching themes, but it even disappears from there.
Very odd.

**update - I just tried completely deleting the plug-in, updating the theme, then re-installing. That seems to have done the trick, and it's working again. Very weird though.
Anyway, thanks for the input, Juggledad - it did get me thinking of things to try.

if you send me a PM with an admin ID/PW i'll take a peek
