Latest WP Version 6.4 “Shirley”

If you want to test the latest WordPress version no matter if it is in Beta or Release Candidate version then I suggest you install the following plugin WordPress Beta Tester on a test machine or WordPress test platform. This is very important if you want to know whether or not your current setup will work with the next WordPress version.

WordPress Roadmap:

WordPress Default Themes Twenty Family

WordPress has a number of default themes that begin with the name Twenty. These themes are always updated to work with the latest WordPress version released. If you can’t find the correct theme for your site in the repository, then simply install one of the following default themes. This will give you a heads start until you find the correct theme for your site. These themes are clean, simple and easy to setup. Remember they are updated by the WordPress community regularly.

WordPress Old Release Information

Important Discovery: WordPress 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 have removed the Title tag when inserting images into your post and pages. Please be aware of this. There is a plugin available Restore Image Title that will add the title back to the images when you insert them. I got the above information from Sue Surdam in linkedin WordPress community. Here is her article Get Back the Missing Image…..

Since RC2, we’ve done a handful of last-minute tweaks and bugfixes that we felt were necessary. Our goal is to release version 3.3 early next week, so plugin and theme authors, this is your last pre-release chance to  test your plugins and themes  to find any……

So come next week you can install WordPress 3.3 but before you go ahead make a backup of your website and have a look at your theme and plugins before you go ahead. Make sure that theme and plugins can handle the new version of WordPress. If you have a testing site then use that testing site first and test everything that is running on your website on the testing site.

  1. Hi, I just updated to WP 3.3.1 and the blog members are complaining because it’s so difficult now to access the built-in private messaging function. It is much harder to access the inbox now – is there a way to have it appear somewhere more prominently?

    • Hello Denis, thank you for your question?

      Can you please elaborate more what are you trying to achieve. If you have a look at the admin panel on the top you will see that a message symbol will display any new message submitted.

      When you mention the inbox, are you referring the point above?

      Kind regards

  2. O really? What are the added feature in the updated wordpress version?

    • Hello and thank you for your question. If you click on the above link it will provide another link where it illustrates the code improvement. Click on the following WordPress 3.4 rc2 to view the changes.

  3. Hello,

    Can someone please help me; I just installed WordPress 4.1 and my visual editor isn’t working. It looks like there’s a bug in the code.

    Thanks,
    Stephanie

    • Hi Stephanie, thank you for your question. Have you tried a different theme? Have you also tried to deactivate all your plugins and see if the issue goes away. If it does then start enabling one by one your plugins until you come across the plugin that causes the issue.

      Let me know if that helps you.

      Regards

      • Same problem as Stephanie… Just updated (automatically) to 4.1.1 and now the visual editor isn’t working.

        Stephanie, did you find a fix? I don’t have any plugins enabled and I have the default theme but can’t edit/create pages or posts now….

        thanks!
