Yesterday I updated _[The S.T.E.A.L. Saga](http://www.stealsaga.net) _to Wordpress 2.5.1. I thought the upgrade would be painless, but I was wrong. First of all, the auto plugin updater kind of confused between the various plugins, so it marked some as updateable although they weren't. Then, some plugins (albeit incompatible), **disappeared** from the plugin list (the fix was downloading a more recent version).

The biggest issue was, however, the mangling of my .htaccess file due to a wrongly-generated permalink rule that was without a trailing slash (/). Such a badly done .htaccess would cause:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Problems when loading the pages
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Problems with admin panels (no such page errors and the like)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Most importantly, it would cause an enormous load on the server (and with shared hosting, it _is_ a problem)
|
|
|
|
|
|
It took me at least 30 minutes to find out what the cause was. Removing .htaccess did not help, I had to remove it then change the permalink to the default value, and then change it again. Now it works, but what a bother for a seemingly "simple" upgrade.
