# Running and Debugging WordPress 2.6 Beta

I am using WordPress 2.6 (currently beta 2) now, and here are the issues/problems discovered so far: **(1)** [PHP Speedy WP](http://aciddrop.com/2008/03/22/php-speedy-wordpress-plugin-version-04/ "PHP Speedy WP plugin") doesn’t work any more because of the [changes in `WP_scripts`](http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/class.wp-scripts.php "View the current trunk version of wp_scripts class") class.

**(2)** [Admin Drop Down Menu](http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/wordpress-admin-menu-drop-down-css/ "Admin Drop Down Menu plugin by Ozh") hides the new [*Turbo* link](http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/gears/ "Read more about the new Google Gears feature") (for initiating the *Google Gears* feature) which should be displayed in the top right-hand side corner of your WordPress dashboard. **(3)** [Baltic Amber Themes & Schemes](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/baltic-amber-admin-themes-and-schemes/ "Baltic Amber themes and schemes for WordPress dashboard admin") do not have CSS rules for the new *Press This* shortcut (available under the *Write Post* section).

When *Ubuntu* finishes upgrading to 8.04, I’ll update the *Baltic Amber* plugin and will post the shell script I use to update WordPress in five minutes and make backups of all files and database at the same time. It is a modified version of [this](http://www.jerry-bell.com/2008/04/29/wordpress-backup-script/) [one](http://pthree.org/2007/03/02/wordpress-upgrade-script/).
