WordPress 2.0 Problems on 2006-01-25

I found two problems (bugs?) with WordPress 2.0 + MySQL 5.
(1) you can’t save a post, before you publish it. If you try to save, before publishing, you’ll get the error “WordPress database error: [Incorrect datetime value: '' for column 'post_date' at row 1]“.

There is a workaround, for this problem: to force a “post timestamp”.

(2) you can’t upload files to the database. If you try to upload, you’ll get the error “WordPress database error: [Field 'post_content_filtered' doesn't have a default value]“.

I don’t know of a workaround for this problem.

These problems look like bugs, related to how WordPress 2.0 interacts with MySQL 5. If one uses MySQL 4, these specific issues shouldn’t arise.

Other people have identified these bugs. For (1) check here. For (2) check here.
