   For credit sake, Jennifer Hodgdon was responsible for a good portion of the Codex article on Migrating Plugins and Themes.

   Good catch on his part. I hope that WordPress 2.5 and going forward, there will be a standard by which old plugins won’t break as easily — giving them a much longer lifespan.

   I found in my biggest plugin that it looks just as good in WordPress s2.5 as WordPress 2.3 with only one change — it uses the main-part as well as a side bar, so they had to be put into two separate table cells, but nothing else had to change.

   If you plugin looked good and was modeled after the default WP pages, you shouldn’t have any trouble. It is especially easy if you styled it using the dbx boxes.

   I clicked the WordPress 2.5 Plugin Settings Pages Style Guide link but it doesn’t work for me. It opens in a new tab and I receive an error of “Error establishing a database connection.”

   Maybe it is temporary but thought I’d post this in case others have problems connecting to that link.

   I’ve written an updated version of a style guide on my blog at http://epicalex.com/wordpress-.....yle-guide/ – it lists all the possible inputs that can be used, and gives examples.
