Just recently Donncha O Caoimh posted on his blog that WordPress Mu (2.7) was available. We have not had a great deal of time lately to stay on the bleeding edge of its development so this announcement was all we were waiting for to push two MU installations updates.
A quick review and some brief observations:
The combined time to update both WordPress Mu installations was slightly less than 20 minutes. An additional five minutes were needed to “fix” the “home” theme on the first installation. It was not a theme issue in as much as an installer issue. We are embarrassed to say we missed not over writing the theme folders during the update. We have a complete backup of all our active MU themes so the correction was made with a quick upload.
The general layout is very similar to a single user version of WordPress 2.7, with the exception of the newly included Admin bar by Viper007Bond at the top of the Dashboard screen. An unexpectedly nice touch that should be easily put to good use.
A job well done to all the developers and testers to get this to the public, we are looking forward to working more with this version of WordPress MU in the near future.
A curious question: how will you be using the new WordPress MU version 2.7?
