RSSWordpress 2.5
WordPress 2.5 was released Saturday and I upgraded this evening. I was able to play around with the new admin interface before upgrading thanks to Chris Johnston’s WP Demo Site. The interface is much more streamlined and quite slick with plenty of whitespace and a light blue color scheme:
So far I can only lodge two complaints:
- Scrolling is now required to add tags and assign categories
You can no longer rearrange the sections. Hopefully this feature will come back in future upgrades.
- A class attribute is specified when adding an image
Uploading is now spiffy and near seamless with an overlay:
But even selecting an alignment of ‘none’ inserts class="alignnone size-full wp-image-[#]“.
Aside from these two minor complaints I’m enjoying the new WordPress. One wish I have for future versions is for the plugin page to be Ajaxed, so when I activate a plugin the entire page doesn’t have to reload. Check the WordPress Blog to read about all the changes.
You can leave a response below, or trackback from your own site.

I doubt that reordering post meta sections will be brought back in mainline, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before it’s available in plugin form. All it takes is a bit of javascript and a cookie.
As much crap as 2.5’s admin interface has gotten, I’m personally a fan. Good stuff.
I’m a fan as well. The two points I addressed above were my only ‘complaints’ (or, bitchery). I’ve since installed the Fluency admin interface plugin and am really happy with it.
Since moving from Movable Type to WordPress years ago, I’ve been increasingly satisfied with my decision to switch.
