From one blog of my blogroll links, I was happy to hear that there was a newer version of WordPress MU available now. Finally MU has been upgraded nearly a month after the WordPress was upgraded to 2.3 then 2.3.1.
I downloaded the zip file from the official website of WordPress MU and compared it with WordPress MU 1.25a within WinMerge. And I found that there were a lot of files changed, including the include/kses.php. Since I did something changes on kses.php, I had to merge my changes to the newer file then go ahead to upload the new version to my blog sites.
One more thing you need to pay attention if you implemented Simple Tagging with your current WordPress MU which is not compatible with WordPress 1.3. You will have to delete Simple Tagging before you upgrade the WordPress MU.
Since WordPress MU 1.3 is based on WordPress 2.3.1, you can use the native Tagging system from WordPress. But I still recommend you install Simple Tags, the successor of simple tagging, from http://www.herewithme.fr/wordpress-plugins/simple-tags#download to manage your tags more efficiently.
To install Simple Tags into your wp-contents/mu-plugins directory, you need to create a php file called stp.php or whatever you like and put it into the root of mu-plugins folder. In the new stp.php file, you only need the following codes:
<?php
include(’simple-tags/simple-tags.php’);
?>
