My apologies for the problem with comments

I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress the other day, and apparently the anti-spam plugin I had installed was not compatible. It was preventing people from posting comments, but I didn’t notice it (my blog’s not that popular, so a few days without comments is not abnormal… ). Many thanks to micpro at In the Life of a Child for letting me know. For now I’ve disabled the plugin, so comments are open again.

    I was wondering what the deal was when the spam image didn’t show … I know that I had something profound to say … I just can’t remember what it was

    Gees, I can’t leave you alone for a day without you mucking something up.

    I basically coded myself into a corner when it came to my blog, so there’s pretty much no way for me to upgrade without blowing up half the Internet as a result. This is the one thing I truly hate about WordPress.

    Yeah, I wanted to use the smileys plugin you’re using, but it doesn’t work, either.

    Yep, too many awesome plugins still rely on the old 2.0.x code. Some plugins though require at least 2.1, but I noticed it’s because they tend to require WP-Cron, which is a native part of 2.1 and better. I found I was able to overcome that for the most part by (what else), installing WP-Cron as a plugin.
