Thanks to Colin, I now have the new beta release of Viddler Video Comments to work with the new Wordpress 2.5. Can i just say AMAZING! Colin and Viddler continue to do great work with integrating it with Wordpress.

You can record your own videos again in the comments section. Click on the little video icon and start recording again!

Now what I absolutely love is the new embedding feature via the media section in Wordpress. You can add feature video, your own video, search, and record your own video right from the media tab when creating your posts.

I’m going to give this little embed feature a try! Let’s try with iJustine’s newest video called Crazy Town!!! She does have some great dance moves! Justine, I think I need some lessons from you!

Edit: I don’t know why its blowing the video way up! I’m trying to get it figured out right now….It’s still under beta we are working on it!

Edit 4/14/08: FIXED! Visit Viddler Beta 2 Wordpress Plugin

This has just been a week with problems! I just recently upgraded iJohnw.com over to the new Wordpress 2.5. It offers a visibly improved back end for managing blogs. The upgrade only took a few minutes and it was successful. The best new feature I love so far while I was playing around with it is the automatically upgrade your plugins you have installed! Man does that reduce a heck of a lot of overhead!

Now the biggest problem right now with Wordpress 2.5 is media uploader for the new and improved gallery. I have no idea where it went?! After reading the forums over at Wordpress.org, it looks like many people are having the exact same issue as myself. So is this first bug in Wordpress 2.5? The above image (thanks to http://jeanegan.com/ for the image) shows where the image uploader should be located.

I have noticed one more thing. In the RC1 for 2.5, there was an add category option when you are writing a post. I see that has disappeared too. Is that something in the new Wordpress 2.5? or another bug?

Is anyone else having this exact same issue? Is there a fix for it yet?! HELP!

Update 1 Hour Later: I have found the plugin that is causing this problem. Unfortunately, it was one of the plugins I love! ViddlerCompanion was giving me those issues as described above. I am going to have to email them and let me know, and for now I <3 Wordpress 2.5! Also, thank you Otto for your suggestion on figuring out how to solve this problem!
