It appears that the nightmare that was the WordPress 1.5 upgrade has come to an end.

After a few more hours of browsing through the support forums and going through code line-by-line, it appears that the main problem with regard to the comments section was that the wp-comments.php file that the upgrade instructions say to import from 1.2 is, in fact, just not all that compatable with 1.5. Sure enough, many other WP users reported similar problems.

Anyhow, the site appears to be back to normal as far as I can tell, however if anyone happens to notice anything out of the ordinary, I’d appreciate it if you could let me know. It probably would be a good idea for me to go ahead and do a complete redesign, but seeing as I’m naturally inclined to be a lazy bastard, I think I might put that off for just a little longer.

I had seriously envisioned myself spending the entire weekend in front of the computer trying to sort things out with the coding, so it’s such a relief knowing that I can now spend the time pursuing other, more enjoyable activities. Lock your doors, folks!
