Wordpress Upgrade Preflight Check

WordPress logoUpgrade Preflight Check is a plugin that will attempt to check your other plugins and themes for problems that may cause errors when upgrading to WordPress 2.3. Run this before upgrading and it may save some headaches. It works in version 2.3 too and may be useful to help identify the cause of errors.

About WordPress 2.5

The current version of Upgrade Preflight Check only checks for problems in upgrading to WordPress 2.3. This is still useful if you’re moving to version 2.5 from a version prior to 2.3

There are far fewer problems upgrading from 2.3 to 2.5 so I’m not sure if updating the plugin would be of much value. Please comment and let me know your thoughts.

Important Note

Having or not having problems listed in the Upgrade Preflight Check report is not a guarantee of compatibility or failure. It is designed as a starting point to help you follow-up on potential problems. Please check individual plugin and theme Web pages to fully verify compatibility. (And always make a backup before upgrading.)

How It Works

This plugin works by scanning for the appearance of text within plugins and themes that may indicate compatibility problems.

It currently looks for the following:

  • Use of the old category tables that are now gone.
  • Use of wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php, which has been moved and renamed.
  • Use of the get_the_title function, which works a little differently.
  • Use of deprecated permalink functions, which still work for now but should be replaced.

Each of these conditions comes from discussions on the wp-testers mailing list and various blog posts during the time leading up to the WordPress 2.3 release. More details are shown at the bottom of the report.

Installation and Use

  • Upload upgrade-preflight.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  • Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  • Use the Upgrade Preflight menu under Options in the WordPress admin panel to generate a report.
  • There is no need to leave the plugin activated when not using it. Disable it when done.

Download

Download from smithsrus.com: Upgrade Preflight Check

Samuel Aguilera was nice enough to create a Spanish translation that you can download from his site.

Version History

Version 1.1, 10/22/07

  • Additional checks for plugins knowing about the new tag system so they don’t get flagged as incompatible. i.e., Sitemap Generator 3.0.
  • Internationalization of text. If you do a translation please send the files over. I’ll post them here for download and give you credit.
  • Miscellaneous clean up.
  • Added GPL license text.

Version 1.0, 9/26/07

  • Initial release.

Donations

I’ve been asked for a way to make donations. If the plugin saved you time or trouble and you want to say “thank you” in that way, you may do so through a PayPal donation or the Amazon Honor System.

Suggestions from all are welcome.
