Just in time for the holidays WordPress has rolled out a shiny new version to unwrap. Named “Elvin” in honor of drummer Elvin Jones, who played with John Coltrane in addition to many others, this version has some exciting features including:
- New Media Manager
- Beautiful interface: A streamlined, all-new experience
- Create galleries faster with drag-and-drop reordering, inline caption editing, and simplified controls
- Insert multiple images at once with Shift/Ctrl+click
- New Default Theme – Twenty Twelve
- Simple, flexible, elegant
- Mobile-first, responsive design
- Gorgeous Open Sans typeface
- Uses the latest Theme Features
- Admin Enhancements
- New Welcome Screen
- Retina-Ready (HiDPI) Admin
- Hide Link Manager for new installs
- Better accessibility for screenreaders, touch devices, and keyboard users
- More polish on admin screens, including a new color picker
and much more!
So far the only issue I encounter since updating about an hour ago is a conflict with Photodropper. Deactivating it seems to have everything running smoothly. The new media uploader is pretty snazzy {see screenshot} I’ll have to explore the rest of the bells and whistles when I have a minute.
As always run a full cpanel backup and keep your eyes and ears open on your social networks. If something has gone wrong, someone is screaming about it somewhere!
