I just updated my blog to WordPress v4.8.1 which contained a number of maintenance fixes and enhancements. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. Nothing changed with the Twenty Twelve theme so I didn’t have to worry about anything there. So far it seems this update has gone smoothly. 🙂
Wishing everyone a Happy (and safe) 4th of July! 🙂 For those in certain Oklahoma city areas, AAA is offering their Tipsy Tow service for free once again. You can call them at (800) AAA-HELP or (800) 222-4357. So, there’s no excuse for anyone to drink and drive.
Have a great Independence Day! 🙂
Wishing everyone a Happy Father’s Day, especially mine! Love you Dad and hope you’re doing well! You’re the best! Yeah, I know, I’m recycling the same image I used the last five years LOL, but how could I not? After all, his name is also Dale Jr. 🙂
I just updated my blog to WordPress 4.8, which contains a number of feature updates mostly to do with widgets. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. The TwentyTwelve theme was updated but the only file that was changed was the style.css that contained rules related to the new widgets. I did not have to change my child theme since it loads the parent’s style.css automatically.
The only quirk I noticed was in the post editor I am using right now. The line-height did not match that of the theme and it bugged me. After inspecting the CSS, I discovered I needed to add the following to the my child theme’s editor-style.css to override some other styles:
After this, I then had to clear my browser cache to actually see the changes. Other than this, everything seems to be working fine. 🙂
I updated my blog to WordPress 4.7.5, which contained a number of security updates and bug fixes. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. No issues to report with this update. Everything seems to have gone well.
