Finally, Wordpress 2.7 is released!Written by Abdulrehman on December 11th, 2008
The countdown is finally over as the Wordpress 2.7 was released yesterday and without doubt it was way better than I expected it. Although I am having trouble with the new interface but I guess I’ll get a hang of it soon. I must give credit to the developers of ‘Automatic upgrade plug-in’ for making the whole process of installing the new version so simple and easier! A big shout-out to all the people who were involved in the making of this version for the hard work they have put into it. Below is the release video:
So far as I have used the new version, this is what I have liked about it:
- The navigation to different functions has been made a lot more easier, less need to go to Setting>Users now you can go straight away to Users, it cuts time for dial-up users.
- The color scheme is pretty good, but I prefer the blue one which is not selected by default.
- Every page is customizable, you can change the place of containers the way you want it which makes it a lot more flexible.
- The automatic upgrade has been added as a feature to the new Wordpress, no need to get the plug-in or manually upgrade it!
- Plug-ins can now be installed with just a few clicks cutting out the long processes of downloading, extracting, uploading and installing.
- The ‘Quickpress’, which is a small container on the dashboard where you can write a post and publish it if you’re in a hurry.
I don’t know about other bloggers, but I for one wordpress user really like wordpress version 2.7, and would thank the wordpress team and contributors once again for producing a master-piece. Have a fun ride testing out the new wordpress!

I have also updated my blogs from the slightly older WordPress 2.6.5 to the new WordPress 2.7 RC2 through cPanel. The navigation off the bat has improved (sidebar), however, I find that the admin drop-down menu plugin is still preferable to out-of-the-box WP 2.7’s.

I just created a new blog today and it was the wordpress 2.7. It gave me a shock when I logged in because I didnt expect it. The sidebar took a bit to get used too cause I was so used to it being a top bar.
