Another great post in your back-to-blogging-basics series Mike – I hope you’re going to compile this series into a report when it’s completed so that the information will still be easy for people to access!

Great advice! I guess one down point to WordPress is how easy it can be to add plugins and change the theme. It’s great to be able to do quickly, but I can see now how it could result in some issues when updating and adding multiple scripts.

I only have one and I use different themes but use the same basic plugins on most. The blog is more for beta testing so I know what to recommend and what is changing before the new releases come out.

Seems like a methodical approach. Hate to think of having to do it too often, but the approach makes sense. Wondering about your test blog. Do you maintain it just to test for incompatible plug ins for your other blogs, do you use the same set up for all your blogs? Or do you have more than one test blog?

I face this when I do an upgrade Mike.

I suppose I should deactivate the plugins, upgrade WP and then reactivate them but some are so important I’m reluctant to deactivate them.

Some need a fair degree of customisation – would I lose that if I deactivate them?

I mostly find it is a plugin conflict – very tedious to track down when you have 30 or so!!

I love the ‘deactivate your plugins’ comment – it’s very true, but wow, can it be very painful indeed if you have 30 or so running!

I hate it when I have to debug….
