WordPress 2.1 Ella Released

Filed in: WordPress, News & Updates Jump to comments

As a big fan of WordPress, I’m very excited to hear the new release of WordPress 2.1 Ella. Although I haven’t upgraded yet, but it seems like they’ve added a lot of new features and fixed a lot of bugs. One of my favorite new features is now you can set the Pages to be drafts, or private. The new Page option is extremely useful for people who use WordPress as a CMS tool because it allows you to preview the page before publishing it. Now you can backup a Page by turning it to private rather deleting it. Another great feature is now you can set any Page to be your front page, and put the latest posts somewhere else. Version 2.1 also incorporated more AJAX which makes your site maintenance more faster and fascinating. I will definitely upgrade to 2.1 and post more thoughts soon. Download the latest version of WordPress at http://wordpress.org/download. If you have upgraded already, please share your thoughts here.

    I have upgraded and I love the maturity of Wordpress. It will only get better.

    One thing . . . In your post you said “set any Page to be your front page, and put the latest posts somewhere else”

    The drop down menu gives me all the pages except “Home” to use as a static page. I want to have a static welcome page and then have a blog under a separate pahe header menu. Any ideas ?

    I was squirming with excitement about Ella!

    Unfortunately, the theme I’m using isn’t compatible with the upgrade. My diner’s blog was wrecked for a coupla days…

    I learn things the hard way… :-/

    Wordpress 2.1 is amazing. My biggest problem with wordpress before this update was with the lag in the dashboard page. Now it loads as fast as any other page on the site. :)
