WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious” Features

Posted by : on June 17, 2010 – 10:35 pm5 Comments

Finally, the wait is over..!!! WordPress has announced the launch of Version 3.0,  ”Thelonious”. The beta version was released a few months back and the final edition is now available for download. You can also upgrade your current blog from your dashboard. Many exciting features have been introduced in the version including a new default theme called Twenty Ten.

The best feature which would be very useful to people who run more than one blog is the merging of MU and WordPress. Now you can run as many blogs as you wish from a single installation. Also, the default random password which was generated after every installation has been replaced with the custom password field.

Merge Feautre:

To test the above feature you will need to follow the steps mentioned below:

  • Open wp_config.php in any text editor.
  • Add the lines define (‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true ) ; to it. This will enable the Network menuwhich can be under the Tools menu

To know more about this feature, head to WordPress Codex.

Custom Navigation

The feature lets you create a custom navigation bar wherein you can

  • Add any number of menus.
  • External Links.
  • Any Category from your website.
  • Any Page.
  • Create drop down items.

Another interesting feature is that you can now update up to 15 plugins simultaneously with a single click..!! All the more, new theme customization APIs have been introduced thereby allowing users to customize the headers, shortlinks, background, menus, post types, taxonomies and much.. much.. more…..!! The list is long including more than 1200 bug fixes. That’s it..!!! I can’t describe much. Check out the official video below and explore the cool exciting features of “Thelonious”.

The list of new features is so long that I found myself too lazy and helpless to list them all.!!! :) If you find any new feature please feel free to share it with us. We will be happy to receive your views.
