I installed WP 2.5 only last week, and this has me worried. Concerned. And to be honest, a bit scared too. What if I lose it all some day by accident? Should I revert to an older version? Will there be a patch out? Will it screw up all my plugin settings? Hmm… This will keep me worried for the next few hours, I know…

From Big gotcha in WP 2.5: If you’re a self-hosted Wordpress user and have upgraded to WP2.5, you need to know there is a serious ‘gotcha’ in the revised sidebar widget building section. If you use text widgets to include custom HTML, javascript or other non-PHP code and want to make changes or add new ones then be very careful how you do it.
