WordPress 1.5

I’ve just upgraded my WordPress installation to the latest beta version, that being 1.5 beta 1, and while there has been a lot of good changes, there are some that’s been bugging me ever since I did it…

Firstly, the linklog layout has been screwed up, so they look like regular posts, I’m looking into how to get them displayed differently so hopefully they won’t be looking like they do for long.

Secondly, the amount of posts displayed on the front page is bugging me, in the previous version there was an option for the last 7 days (ie. one week) since the last post was made, now the 7 days option means the last 7 days posted, so if you don’t post that often it could be the last two weeks on the front page.

Thirdly, When I click on a monthly archive link I don’t get to see the entire month, again it’s the last 7 post days of the month. Call me old fashioned, but when I click on the monthly archive link, I expect to see the month, not part of the month. Now I have to add a navigation link at the bottom of the pages, something I don’t want to do, just so people can see earlier posts in months or categories.

Anyways, this is a work in progress, the one thing I hate… But once I got the basics working in the template theme, I just couldn’t help but upgrade. Expect a few more things to crop up over the next few weeks, I don’t imagine it will be a work in progress much longer.
