WordPress 3.0: Thelonious

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, but I’ve been very busy with school, and work. I’ve also been enjoy­ing sum­mer a lot. A lot of my time has also gone to the World Cup, which has been full of sur­prises so far. (Just so you know, I’m cheer­ing for Ger­many). With all that aside, I’d like to say that Word­Press 3.0 is out.

We’ve been wait­ing for this upgrade for a while now, and it’s finally here. Dub U Pee is also using 3.0 now. So what does that mean for the every­day blogger?

The every­day blogger

I know this ver­sion has been tested thou­sands of times before it was released, but just to be safe, I recomm­net wait­ing for about a month or two before upgrad­ing to the lat­est ver­sion. There are a lot of plu­g­ins that are not yet 3.0 com­pat­i­ble, so upgrad­ing might cause them to stop func­tion­ing cor­rectly. So that’s why I rec­om­mend wait­ing for a lit­tle bit. The same thing goes for the themes. This is very unlikely, but who knows, your theme might stop work­ing. So just to be on the safe side, wait for about a month, that is if you can, of course.

The devel­oper

Whether you’re a theme or plu­gin devel­oper, that means that it’s time for you to upgrade your themes/plugins if you haven’t done so already. This is more for the plu­g­ins, not as much for the themes, although it would be nice if you updated them too. But for the plu­g­ins, you gotta make sure they work with the new ver­sion of WordPress.
