Members Only is a WordPress plugin that requires users to login to your blog in order to read/write. In addition, you can protect your RSS feed as a unique URL is generated for each user. Every user was getting the following error: Feed Key is Invalid The Feed Key you used is invalid. It is either incorrect or has been revoked. Please login to obtain a valid Feed Key. The feed URL in the version of Members Only that worked with 2.6 changed during the upgrade to 2.7, so a simple URL change solved the problem. I attempted to contact the plugin's author Andrew Hamilton and sent him the updated files, but I have not heard anything from him, so I am posting here for those who can use it.

wp sticky is no longer needed
any plugins that helped you to reply or work with comments are unnecessary now – WP finally got this nailed
Popularity Contest throws a fatal error now – wish I could get that back
Any tagging plugins you might be using are no longer needed – WP native tagging rocks

There are surely more but those are the ones I noticed.

I can't remember, I think maybe a couple of releases ago, for some reason, it didn't reactivate my plugins. That's kind of a pain, but no biggie.

From 2.7 on you won't have to do a hard install again. Just press a button and the system will upgrade itself. (Haven't done that yet, but that's what they say!) Upgrades usually mean security fixes, etc. and you should do them as soon as new ones come out. This upgrade was a massive one as far as changes though and you're going to love it! @Georjina – you should try really hard to get on the latest WordPress.
