WordPress core upgrader eliminates the biggest annoyance of upgrading WordPress manually. There's a Plugin around that can upgrade your WordPress installation with a few clicks, but nothing beats the in-built ease of upgrade, right?
You can access the upgrader by navigating to Tools > Upgrade.
This should have been done earlier. It's just impossible to manage all the links and menus in top navigation bar. But well, better late than never.
The side navigation is not only more usable, intuitive, and good looking, it also gives you access to various submenus with just one click thanks to the new expandable navigation. Expand and collapse the menus as you see fit!
Rearrange the panels on Dashboard and in post editor with good ol' drag and drop. This is such a time saver. You keep only the important stuff handy, and still have all other goodies docked off-screen for one-click access.
There are plethora of other features that you can find by digging deeper into the menus. So have fun discovering the new WordPress goodness.
What do you like most in WordPress 2.7?
P.S. aren't they trying too hard to make the backend look like Mac OS X?
You plan to upgrade anytime soon?
Do we get a party?
It'll take some getting used to, but I finally finished upgrading my blogs to 2.7 I'm certainly looking forward to the auto-upgrade. As for the rest… I suppose it will grow on me.
Wow!! WordPress had improved alot since it started while blogspot had just made mini improvements.
I like its interface, press it and autoupgrade features. Look & feel is awesome!
It's awesome! I love how you can quick post from the main page.
I have not used it yet but I'm about to start another blog and I'll start with a fresh installation of 2.7 on the new blog.
I hear that it also has a built in facility to reply to comments rather than using Brians threaded comments plugin. This sounds pretty cool.
I like the automatic upgrade feature, It saves lots of time!
I like just about everything about the new look wordpress.
I just installed new wordpress 2.7 two weeks ago , it look awesome !!!
If I were to buy an iPhone, what would be the cheapest plan that included unlimited text messaging and __min. of talk time? Can you get Verizon as your provider with an iPhone?
The more I use it the more I like it. So nothing to say really.
Really Appreciate this blog post, can you make it so I get an update sent in an email whenever you make a fresh article?
