This is an early beta. This means there are a few things we’re still completing. People wanted in order to get many people tests it this weekend, so we’re releasing it now rather than waiting one more week till everything is completed and rubbed. There’s a ton of things going on in 3., so this time we’re giving you a list of things to check out, so that we can make sure people are tests all the things that need it.
You Should Know:
- The customized menus system (Appearance > Menus) is not quite completed. In Beta 2, the design will be different and a bunch of the features will be advanced, however we didn’t want to hold things up for this 1 screen. You can play with creating custom menus, and report bugs if you find them, but this is not how the final screen will look/work, so don’t get attached to it.
- The merge! Yes, WordPress and WordPress MU have merged. This does not mean that you can suddenly begin adding a bunch of new blogs from within your normal WordPress Dashboard. If you’re interested in tests the Super Admin stuff associated with several sites, you’ll need a few easy information to get started.
- We’re still messing with a few little things in the UI, as we were focused on getting the much more function-oriented code completed first. For example, we’re getting a new icon for the Super Admin section.
Things to test:
- Play with the new default theme, Twenty Ten, including the custom background and header options.
- Custom Post Type functionality has been beefed up. It’s really easy to add new types, so do that and see how it looks!
- WordPress MU users should test the multiple sites functionality to make sure nothing broke during the merge.
