You might heard that wordrpess has recently launched its latest beta version, 2.8 Beta 2, of the popular blogging platform, which comes with the usual set of new features tweaks and enhancements aimed at making the lives of bloggers using the platform easier.
- Uploading WordPress themes from the Admin Panel. This feature allows users to upload themes from the admin panel without having to use other means of getting the files on the server, like FTP clients. This was made possible for plugins since 2.7 and now you can do it for themes too. There is also the possibility to search through the themes you have installed using filters like width, colors and number of columns.
- Widget Section Tweaked. Sidebars are visible again in the widget section. This makes it easier if you have more sidebars as you will be able to get a better idea of where everything is going to be.
- Editing all plugins with the editor. Now you can edit all the plugin files from within the editor, an option that was not possible for plugins with more than one file. This way you can make small changes if for example the plugins aren’t working very well with your current theme.
- Editing comments from the edit post section. Any comments that have been made to a post will now be visible in the edit post section also. All the usual comment management options are available, like delete, spam and reply.
- Tag management. Tags can now be managed from the Posts section called Post Tags with the options of creating a new tag, a tag slug and a description for the tag.
So, what are you waiting for guys? Upgrade now, you can get the latest WordPress 2.8 beta 2 right here so you can test the changes for yourselves.
