How do I change the file upload path?
The default upload path can be changed by adding a line of code to your wp-config.php file.
Just BEFORE the line that says require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php'); add this line:
define('UPLOADS', 'wp-content/myimages');
In the example above, this will result in uploads being placed in your wp-content/myimages/2006/01 folder. Note that 2006 is the current year, and 01 is the current month, in this case January. If the myimages directory does not exist it will be created as long as the parent folder wp-content is writeable.
An unwriteable parent folder will cause a message similar to this:
- "Unable to create directory
/sample.com/wordpress/wp-content/myimages. Is its parent directory writable by the server?"
A plugin alternative to enable uploading like WordPress 1.5.2 is available with Filosofo's Old-style-uploads: http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/old-style-upload

Why is my comment count not increasing?
If you are running Spam-Karma (http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/), upgrade to version 2.1.
If you are NOT running Spam-Karma, then delete your wp-content/cache directory. If that doesn't work, you should use WordPress:phpMyAdmin to decrease, by one, the number stored in the db_version record of your wp_options table, and then run upgrade.php again.

I don't like WordPress 2.0, how can I revert back to WordPress 1.5.2?
It is not recommended to revert back to 1.5.2 but it can be done. To successfully revert you must have a backup of your database and a backup of your WordPress files before you upgraded from 1.5.2 to 2.0.
To revert you must:
- Drop 2.0 tables from your existing database
- Restore your 1.5.2 database tables
- Delete all the WordPress 2.0 files
- Restore all the 1.5.2 files.
