Seems they've taken out some very old and long used variables and created a totally new "taxonomy" system http://codex.wordpress.org/index.php?title=Version_2.3:New_Taxonomy

In doing so, now thousands of themes and hundreds of plugins no longer work. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/135564

And what to the developers say about the griping by two million dedicated users? Basically: Shut the hell up. What do you want for free you ingrates.

So either up to the version behind it, or forgot about upgrading unless you really must.

Yeah, I found that out also. Seems we should be grateful to get a program even if things don't work. Hell, I will even put some of those out myself..doesn't matter if they are crap, I can just churn them out like sausages and who cares if they don't work or will cause problems for the poor dumb saps who have their sites up using them. They are FREE, muhahahahahahahahaha.

ROTFL

I hear you, BlueBoy!

Not only am I NOT going to upgrade my 2.2 WPs. But the other day when I went back and upgraded and older 2.0.1 to 2.3, ran into the problems mentioned and read how bad it is, I DOWNGRADED it from the 2.3 to the 2.2. No problems.

At this point, unless there is some majorly serious vulnerabilty to the 2.2, that's where it's staying.
