The upgrade appeared to go successfully. All of the data is intact, and I’m obviously still able to make new entries. But I’m still vexed by two problems.
First, I can’t save template changes. I’ve been editing the MySQL database directly to work around this, but that is a royal PITA. The good folks at MT have been trying to help me resolve, but no luck so far.
Secondly, the TypeKey authentication for the comment system still isn’t working properly. It might be related to an old template, so I’m going through and making sure I’m using the latest and greatest. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions on my TypeKey and MT problems, you’ll have to just email them to [email protected]
I’ve enabled “unregistered” comments. If you’re not using TypeKey (which is totally free, by the way), you can still post comments, but they won’t appear until I get a chance to review and approve them.
This is unfortunately necessary because of the dreaded comment spammers.
