Oh yes finally the eagerly awaited WordPress version 2.8 is out. You can download it here.
Highlighted new features in v2.8:
- Faster to use
- You can now browse the entire theme directory and install a theme with one click
- Redesigned widgets interface
- New Screen Options
Probably right about now, you’re excited and ready to upgrade right?
Well why not wait a little while …
I know that yellow tab at the top of your WP dashboard admin that says “Please update now” is annoying, but hear me out.
It’s better to wait and see for a week or so, before upgrading as by then you’ll get a general consensus of how the upgrade has been for WP users.
Today itself I’ve read couple of blog entries how the WordPress v2.8 upgrade screwed up their blog.
To know more and knowing what to expect, and by upgrading later, you’re saving yourself plenty of time wasted on finding the cause of the problem, if there happen to be during the upgrade.
Well it’s your call.
By the way, always backup your database and site before any upgrade. That’s the main important tip you must know.
Any screw-ups, just revert back to the old DB and try upgrading again, PROPERLY. Read the support threads at WordPress.org.
What to expect for future version v2.9 and v3.0:
- Improved media handling
- Better dependency checking
- Versioning of templates and themes
- Merging of WordPress and MU
