Installed WordPress 3.0 beta on some test sites yesterday. Happy so far.
Good things I see:
- New default theme
- Custom header images managed from the dashboard
- Custom page background images managed from the dashboard
- Multi-site !!!!
- Widgetized Fat Footer in the default theme (4 widget areas so now default theme has 6 widgets instead of 2)
So on the bad news:
Multi-site with multiple domain names – to do this you still need
- a domain mapping plugin
- customized wildcard DNS settings in cpanel or WHM
- create a parked domain in cpanel
- eye of newt
- live owl intestines
BUT it does and did work and hopefully the days of maintaining dozens / hundreds / thousands of standard WP installs are done.
What to do with my time?
