That’s a widget plugin. I don’t use widgets, but there have been several complaints in the thread about how WP 2.5 is not working correctly with widgets.

Have you tried manually updating it to see if that fixes the problem? Perhaps the auto-update data is in the update you haven’t installed yet?

Based on that second screenshot, my best guess is that the plugin needs the FTP information to access the plugin creator’s database for the update. If a manual update doesn’t make things any better, try contacting the plugin creator and see if they have any help for the auto-update.

A new item I just noticed with 2.5.
On the new WP UI, I don’t seem to have any way to edit Comments.
Is that correct ? What am I missing ?
(Also can’t see how the post-slug is managed ?)

Still confused about two existing items.
Media / Image insertion … still can’t figure out.
Theme / Style / Plug-ins … still have some behaviours I don’t understand.

This is gonna require some effort, possible a re-design / new themes / styles ?

NO its not the Database host information from the setup. I’ve provided some screen shots.

Firs the plugin page

I click the “upgrade automatically” link and
get this page

Anyone have a clue about what this is .

the link is available on every plugin that needs to be upgraded.

@Jacob Bager: What plugins are you using? The hostname, username, and password I have had to enter were in the initial configuration of WP. Sounds like you have something that needs access to your database (and probably uses the same names that are in your config file).

Either that or the plugin creator has not configured the plugin for the one-click update to work properly, in which case the hostname, username, and password have to come from the plugin creator.

that was one of the first things that i tried, i set it to 700 but that says it is for medium sized pictures?

But im looking for answer not found here.

Ive noticed that my plugins can be upgraded automatically. But how.
I have to provide a hostname, username, password. Any clue where to get that ?

A. Login to your WordPress back end and browse to DESIGN - WIDGETS. Look on the right hand side under CURRENT WIDGETS and click on the EDIT link for any widget you would like to configure the settings for.

– Okay… but… how do I edit Widgets?
Your answer says nothing to me that I didnt know, but I still cant edit widgets. I click on “edit” and the Widget opens, but only half of the edit screen appears - the left side is cut off. When I try to move the widget it so I can see the box fully, it just snaps back into place. When I try to move it, the whole widget window does appear, and I can see buttons in the lower left of it for “change” and “remove”… but I cant get to them because as soon as I let go of the widget, it snaps back like I said, and the left side of the box cuts off. Also… when I try to add a new Text Widget, and then click “change” it disappears. I’ve had friends test this too on their computers, same thing. I’ve heard there is a IE 6.0 conflict (which should be fixed considering how many use 6.0 compared to 7)… but my girlfriend used Firefox and had the same problem.

Overall… the dashboard looks more modern… but it is also more clumsy. Not a matter of “getting used to”… there are some things good - like the Manage page having Cats, Tags, everything listed nicely… but the Post Edit page used to be better organized - you’d have the post window, category list, tags, everying appearing together… now you have to scroll to get to things… some will say “so what”, but thats the idea of design, to make as user friendly and logical as possible. Scrolling around to get to things, when you used to have it all put nicely together and be able to see it all in one glance… thats going from good to not so much.
