WordPress 2.7 is Released!
Automattic has just released WordPress 2.7 and it’s had a complete overhaul to the administrative interface based on lots of user testing and feedback.
I’ve been using the betas for a while and have grown to love it, especially:
- the design and increased usability of the admin interface (backend)
- upgrading WordPress from within WordPress
- adding new plugins from within WordPress

Definitely looking forward to trying it out! Haven’t seen any of the betas, so looking forward to unwrapping the present all at once 🙂

WordPress 2.7 is really quite fun. There are lots of improvements, making it much easier to use, upgrade and work with.
I upgraded sewmyheadon.com earlier today and it went off without a hitch.

2.7 is miles ahead, but i do find getting around still a little difficult. I think it will take some getting used to.

Got it installed for a friend today and tried to add some categories but couldn’t.
I’m using a “theme” call gravel. . . could that be the problem?
It’s taking some time to get use to, but I like it better than older versions.

I’m not familiar with the theme, but it’s certainly possible that it’s not playing nice with WordPress 2.7 depending on how it’s coded.
Might check:

Otherwise, feel free to send me a URL and I’d be happy to take a look.

Switching back the WordPress Default theme didn’t make any difference.
I discovered this: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9089
Has anyone else had problems adding categories with 2.7.1 or earlier?

Rich, I haven’t run into this, but I honestly haven’t added a lot of categories to a fresh 2.7.1 WP install. My first thought was that if the category had zero posts, it may not show in the sidebar or theme, but you seem to be referring to it showing in the admin panel, correct?

Soon. Sorry for my absence. Been busy and a bit lazy, but have some plans for some upcoming posts. 🙂 Thanks for reading!
