The admin menu changed a lot, any plugins that hooked into that stuff will likely be broken until they get upgraded. Not that surprising.

I wasn't at all keen on the new-look 2.5 but this one plugin incompatibility really meant I had no choice but to rollback. Under 2.5 you get the shortcuts box on the Write page, underneath everything else instead of to the right; but there's no button to click, just the Yahoo logo.

Basically, with this plugin installed everything in admin runs so impossibly slow you can't access any functions. I had to manually delete the folder from my server before I could once again return to smooth and fast admin operations. I really hope a new version comes out soon that addresses this huge problem. I'm not the only one encountering the slowdown but I would very much hope to try it out again soon, providing this problem is addressed. It's got great potential, but to be very fair, it is in beta so problems are bound to crop up... It seems the WP upgrade has something in the mix (I'm no PHP coder) that doesn't play nice with the plugin or vice versa.

Alex King and Yahoo! should have stated that clearly. I found that info at the bottom of a FAQ, whose link itself was at a bottom of a Yahoo! page. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/search/webpublishers/shortcuts/pubshortcuts-01.html Anyway. I will try again. Have a great day. Thanks. UPDATE: I was using the rich editor, which the plugin does not support. Alex King and Yahoo! should have stated that clearly.

It inserts the code, but nothing is shown when the blog post is published. I probably have an option enabled on my WP that kills this plugin, but I don't what. Any idea? Thanks. Hi Alex King,
