- Tuesday, August 30, 2022 6:33 PM: Blog Updated to WordPress v6.0.2
-
Just updated my blog to WordPress v6.0.2 which was a security and maintenance release with several bug fixes. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. As I usually do, I updated the local copy on my PC before updating the blog here.
My TwentyTwelve parent theme was not updated so I did not have to worry about anything affecting my child theme.
I am now using the work around posted here to be able to highlight text I've selected with a color I choose. Although, if I select text near the right side of the editor, the color palette is partially hidden as well. I can live with this until they fix the [Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced)] plugin. So, far this update seems to have gone well. 🙂

My TwentyTwelve parent theme was not updated so I did not have to worry about anything affecting my child theme. They still haven’t improved the selected text color selection so it’s not hidden slightly behind the right-side settings bar beyond what 5.9.2 did. I made this post about it: [Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced)] Text Color Custom Popup below Side Bar. Other than that, the update seems to have gone well. 🙂

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 ten years LOL, but how could I not? After all, his name is also Dale Jr. 🙂

A thank you to all the men and women in the armed forces who have served and sacrificed themselves for America, as well as, those who continue to serve. I also wish for everyone to stay safe and remain healthy.

Current residence: Edmond, OK currently. Before I lived in Oklahoma City, OK. If you want to know where Oklahoma City is in Oklahoma, or if you want to see what other internet resources there are in Oklahoma, click Oklahoma. Here's another site for info about what's in Oklahoma City.

Website was created with HomeSite v4.5. After Macromedia purchased HomeSite I stopped upgrading. It seems to do the things I want.. so why upgrade? Also, some aspects of version 4.5 that I use on occasion were removed from later versions.
