Wordpress 3.0, true CMS

Note the detail, not without meaning in the new version of Wordpress: in the setup menu, the word blog is replaced by the word site. This indicates a desire for the versatility of this CMS.

There are two important changes in this direction, on the one hand, combining the simple version with the MU version, which allows you to create several blogs on the same site, and on the other, the ability to create different types of pages, in addition to Post and Page ..

New Theme and New Templates

The default themes were not very elegant and not very easy to edit. They will no longer be included in the distribution and will be replaced by a single theme called Twenty Ten.

There are now more templates in the theme editor. The link page template appears.

The theme editor allows you to change the background image and how it is displayed, regardless of the theme .

New login

The wp_login_form function can be used anywhere. If it allows you to access a specific page and thus can edit it directly, rather than sending us back through the administration interface, this is a clear advantage.

Tag and Categories

Using the conversion tools, you can convert labels to new categories and delete the category to replace it with a tag.

Custom Page Types

Along with "Post" and "Strada," it is now possible, as with Drupal (with CCK), to create new types of articles .

You do not need to modify the database to create the type manually. The editor allows you to define new fields that will be part of the type and will be filled when creating a page of this type.

To have a graphical user interface, you need to download the Custom Post Type UI plugin. After installation, a new menu will appear at the bottom of the administration interface - "Custom Post Types."
Creating a new type also adds a new menu to the dashboard.

Author templates

By creating a template for each author, you can customize the appearance of your articles and add your own information, for example, a photo, biography...
