Scott – I don’t use the theme editor, nut I checked my 2.8.6 install and there is no color coding.

Of course since I don’t use tha teditor, I can’t really say that it was there before either…

I installed 2 new sites 2.8.6 sites yesterday and the syntax/code highlighting/coloring in the theme editor is gone. Anyone else experience that? My 2.8.5 version still shows it.

Gabe,

I included the link to the Plugin Compatibility in the post. But, it isn’t up to date. I know of several plugins on that list which have been updated to 2.8 compatibility which are still showing as NOT Compatible. If you have plugins on that list you use, DON’T GO BY THE LIST, check the plugin author’s site.

I’ve updated one blog. I’m waiting for the 2.8.1 to come out before I do the next one. I’m still not a fan of the editor changes. Yes the line number are nice, and so is the color highlighting, BUT and this is a big but for for me. I don’t like having to scroll the editor to see the code.

That SUCKS. And I’m not pleased with the change. At least there should be an option to have the code NOT Scroll so I can see it all on screen. I’d rather have that than numbers or colors.

Thanks Dave, good heads up. I have upgraded several blogs to the 2.8 without any issues and the syntax highlighting is great but I know several other people who have had problems with plugins no longer working.

WordPress.org has a list of supported and problem plugins for 2.8 at http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Plugin_Compatibility/2.8

I'm holding off on this update as well. A little nervous about what it could do to my site. Brad Officer´s last blog post..Drayton Park Townhome For Sale - Short Sale

I'm with ya on this Dave. There's a progression of the WP release. First the release, then the bug fixes, then the hackers, then the hacker fixes, then the remaining bug fixes. After the progression, I'll upgrade! Joe´s last blog post..Kennewick WA Homes for Sale

I hate when the "upgraded" version makes you want to keep the old one. Kind of like having Windows Xp on your machine and having everything work great. Then you upgrade to Vista and half of your programs no longer work. I think I'll wait for another version before taking the plunge as well.

Thanks Dave! Agree completely about the new theme switcher thing... don't really see the point in that "enhancement". Love the color for the code editors. But I'm holding off upgrading. Broken plugins are no fun. Jay Thompson´s last blog post..Joining First American Title’s Eagle University
