Hello everyone. I'm back. First, I want to apologize for the two false alarms (via RSS/email) in the last two weeks. The first false alarm was caused by switching the IP address of this blog with my EDA Blog. For some reason, the IP switch triggered FeedBurner into thinking there was a new post when there wasn't. That's why you saw a bunch of stuff for my EDA Blog (FeedBurner used the old IP for iZachy, which was really mapping to EDA Blog). The second false alarm occurred when I reactivated my plugins after upgrading to WordPress 2.3.1. My guess is that the Better Feed plugin triggered FeedBurner. You might want to leave that plugin activated for your next WordPress upgrade.
As I mentioned previously, I upgraded to WordPress 2.3.1 (from WP 2.2.2) recently using my WordPress upgrade process. After upgrading, all of my plugins worked except for the Crawl Page and Brian's Threaded Comments plugins. One of my readers mentioned that CoolPlayer did not work with WordPress 2.3.1. I can assure you that is not the case. Both CoolPlayer 9.0 and 9.3 worked with WordPress 2.3.1. However, I had to hit the browser reload button after I upgraded from CoolPlayer 9.0 to 9.3 before the plugin worked correctly.
I could never get the Crawl Page 1.00 plugin to work, but I did get Brian's Threaded Comments plugin to work with WordPress 2.3.1. After upgrading to WP 2.3.1, I got a 404 error whenever I tried to leave a comment. The fix for this problem is actually fairly simple. You just need to enter "wp-comments-post.php" in the custom box on the threaded comments admin page (Options => Threaded Comments):
WordPress 2.3.1 breaks a lot of plugins. You should check around to be sure your plugins work before upgrading. At the bottom of this post, I listed plugins that I use that work with WordPress 2.3.1. If you are using an older version of the Google XML Sitemaps plugin (I was using 2.7.1), you should upgrade to the latest version (currently 3.0.2.1). The new version works with WP 2.1+ and has a bunch of new features. It's a big improvement on already nice plugin.
Plugins that work with WordPress 2.3.1:
- Akismet 2.0.2
- Audio player 1.2.3
- Better Feed 1.1
- Brian's Threaded Comments 1.5.12
- Contact Form ][ 2.0.13
- CoolPlayer 9.3 (CoolPlayer 9.0 also works)
- Democracy 2.0.1
- FeedBurner FeedSmith 2.3
- Google XML Sitemaps 3.0.2.1
- Head META Description R1.1.2
- Related Posts 2.02
- Similar Posts 2.3.6
- Simple Recent Comments 0.1.2
- Smart Update Pinger 2.0
- Spam Karma 2 2.3 rc3
- Unfancy Quote 2.0
- WordPress Database Backup 2.1.5
Thanks for posting this. I was going crazy trying to figure out why my comments wouldn't work in 2.3….

It's great to have a fix for running threaded comments on 2.3.x.
Happy Easter everyone!

Hi,
I just installed coolplayer 9.3 and test button says China server :
RPC Server is invalid.
Now what do I do?
WP 2.3.1 installed
've been experimenting with various project management tools and have discovered an excellent site. It is a very user friendly, web-based application that is well worth taking the time to explore. Take a few minutes and look at Projjex.com. The tutorials are excellent & you don't need to be a Rocket Scientist to figure out how to use it. It even offers a free version so you can try it on for size.
Hey thanks so much for posting this fix. It saved me a ton of time!
Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
