Gaaagrgrrh. Has anyone else made the mistake of upgrading to WordPress 2.7? It is, not to put too fine a point on it, a smouldering turd of online putrefaction.

Not only is it as slow as a bucket of frozen kebab fat but the text editor is completely screwed. If you want the luxury of not writing in HTML then you have to jump through endless hoops of clearing caches, removing useful plugins and hunting down wee tweaks like Testing TinyMCE 3.

It’s a total disaster and I wish I’d never upgraded. Roll on 2.8. Unless it actually reaches a hand out of the screen and twists off your genitals it can’t be any worse.

    Feck. I feel your pain. I hadn’t even upgraded – I was only thinking about going up from 2.5 and I don’t know what happened but BlueHost have totally fubar’d my site.

    I feel your pain too. I am really struggling with how slow it is, and have NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. ARGH. It’s slow on the back end, it’s slow on the front end. My template is pretty slow, but using the basic one doesn’t speed anything u that fast.

    2.7.1 is slightly better. The visual editor works but it’s still as slow as frozen treacle.
