Updated Wordpress

I finally got enough courage to update my Wordpress installation from 2.0.4 to 2.3.2 and although time consuming it worked almost out of the box. The pages didn’t render at all at first. After activating my plug-ins the pages rendered but included several messages begining with “Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 0 in …” The More Smilies plug-in is broken and there doesn’t seem to be a new version on the horizon. I deactivated the plug-in and all was back to normal. Woohoo!

If you should come across any other oddities please leave a comment and I’ll try to fix them.

That’s weird! I’m running 2.3.2 and also More Smilies, without any problems!

When I deactivated it my problems disappeared and I got the suggestion to deactivate it from http://wordpress.org/support/topic/101850.

Which version are you using? Have you modified it in any way? Maybe it’s my theme, which hasn’t been updated, that doesn’t support More Smileys?

I’m using more smilies version 2.1.

Take a look at: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/101850

Seems that upgrading to 2.1 solves the problem too.

Updated to 2.1 and the problem remains. According to post at wordpress.org there is a solution but the people who came up with it hasn’t posted the solution. Not very helpful.
