[wp-testers] WP 3.0x Pagination problem

Fri May 7 17:54:39 UTC 2010

Yes, it handles the loop in a strange way (in all their themes) but it
worked in WP 2.9x without any problems. I'm now experiencing the same
problem stated in my original post in my local machine so it has nothing to
do with the PHP version.

What I just did to test everything is:

- Fresh install WP 2.9.2
- Install Whootheme's "Healdlines" theme
- Create 1 multipage article from scratch and pagination works
- Install Multi-page Toolkit Plugin and pagination works

Then:

- Fresh install WP 3.0 night build
- Install same theme
- Create 1 multipage article from scratch and pagination doesn't work
- Install Multi-page Toolkit Plugin and pagination still doesn't work

In conclusion: Same steps from fresh install on both versions - old works
and new doesn't.

Everything indicates something has changed in the WP core in the way it
treats pagination and I can't find it... Is there a "developer's changelog"
of some sort I haven't found? I'm pretty sure that it has to be something
very easy to fix.
