Earlier this week WordPress 2.9.1 was released to fix some minor bugs found in release 2.9. It also fixes the annoying issue some bloggers faced with posts scheduling and pingbacks. It is always a good idea to keep your WordPress installation (and all plugins) uptodate, so I would strongly encourage you to upgrade to 2.9.1 as soon as possible.

You can upgrade directly from you Admin console or if you prefer you can download the latest version here.

 

Recently I upgraded to WordPress 2.8.5. The upgrade process itself went smoothly but some of the plugins I have installed on my blog stopped working with latest WordPress version. One of them is AdSense Deluxe.I use AdSense units on my blog (as you can see) and use AdSense Deluxe plugin to manage my ads. The plugin was still displaying my AdSense units properly, the problem was that I could not access its admin panel to change settings or ad units. I was getting following error.

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
