Upgrade to WordPress 2.9.1 Now
Who knew that WordPress 2.9 was going to be such a bear?
Gee, wasn’t it nice to find posts that you’d queued up for delivery with little “Missed Schedule” notations where their publication dates should have been (see screenshot below).
So much for depending on those queued up posts to let you take a ‘make money while you sleep’ (and party) break over Christmas. 
Pingbacks too apparently weren’t being processed correctly — and both problems were due to incompatibilities with ‘some hosts’, according to WordPress.
Hmmm… I discovered the problem on blogs hosted both on my dedicated servers and at Bluehost.
Anyway, WordPress 2.9.1 was released on January 4th, and I just upgraded all my blogs today. Let’s hope the issues are truly resolved — I hate doing the manual installs on this blog. WordPress is a big program and it takes awhile to delete and upload all those files via FTP.
Although, I must say that I’ve done enough manual upgrades now that I don’t have to refer to the Upgrading WordPress Extended instructions anymore to know that I shouldn’t delete or overwrite my config.php, .htaccess and other important files during the upgrade process… which, thankfully I’ve never done because I kept refering to those instructions.

Thank you for posting this. I just updated right now. Hopefully this upgrade fixes the previous bugs.
Yea, I hate doing all those installs… I think it’s about time for me to install wordpress Mu , so I only have to do one update for all my sites…
At least auto upgrade has been working much more reliably now…
Salam n Hola all..
Great! Just upgraded my blog today.
Craig, if you are going to MU path, be aware that many plugins have problems or just don’t run on MU. As an example, the featured content gallery used by this lifestyle theme here. i had to substitute it with the dynamic content gallery plugin instead.
Still, MU really does cut down on those tedious updating chores. One admin to rule em all…
I upgraded my wifes blog [link removed] and now she cannot access the admin page. This is the 1st time this has happened after an upgrade. You can read the articles posted there and posts can be made with the ScribeFire plugin with FireFox. If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
I check your wife’s site and the login URL works perfectly. Just go to herdomain.com/wp-admin and enter username and password.
I can log in but the wp admin dashboard is not uploading. I would like to try and upload the php files again but am afraid that all data will be lost.
Did you do an automatic or manual install?
I did the automatic upgrade that pops up, not the plugin.
