Top WordPress 2.7 Tips, Hacks, Plugins & Resources

on December 11, 2008 in WordPress

WordPress 2.7 is here! As usual the WordPress community has been very active even when WordPress 2.7 was in beta and were publishing a lot of good resources. I have been reading them and collecting them.

What’s new in WordPress 2.7

Upgrading to WordPress 2.7

Before you upgrade to WordPress 2.7, here are a few things to check:

Advanced WordPress 2.7 Resources

If you are a WordPress theme or plugin developer, a few of these articles could come in handy to make your theme or plugin compatible with WordPress 2.7 if you haven’t already done so.

Plugins for WordPress 2.7

  • Compatibility Notes
    Compatibility Notes is a simple WordPress plugin that will attach a list of supported WordPress versions to every plugin’s description on the “Plugins” page.
  • Post Notes
    On its own, this plugin adds a text area on the sidebar of the add and edit post pages so that users can add notes for themselves or others.
  • 20+ WordPress 2.7 Compatible plugins
    Mashable has put together a great list of plugins your shiny new 2.7 install can handle.
  • Make Simple Tags Plugin Work
    Ask VG has this hack to make Simple Tags plugin work in WordPress 2.7
  • Top WordPress Plugins
    A continously updated list of WordPress plugins by yours truly. Bookmark this to find new WP 2.7 compatible plugins.
  • 2.7 Plugin Compatibility List
    WordPress
    Codex has a list of plugins that are compatible with 2.7 and those that
    are known to have issues with 2.7. Check this list before you upgrade.

And, if you are wondering with so many significant changes in 2.7, why wasn’t it named as 3.0, this post Why 2.7 is not 3.0 will clear that up for you.

Also, Six Apart, the company behind the rival blog platform Movable Type has come out with WordPress 2.7 Upgrade Guide again! :-)

If you enjoyed this list, please take a moment to Stumble, Digg, Tweet or share it with your fellow WordPress bloggers through your favorite social meda tools.

    Wow, what a great resource page. I am new to WordPress and am trying to learn all I can. So far I am really impressed with what it can do and this new version looks even more amazing. I will definitely keep this page bookmarked for information I will need as I go along.
    Is there a lot of difference between WordPress on my server and WordPress.com? I have been thinking of trying a free hosted blog on .com to see how it works.
    Thanks for all the great information.

    Maurice, thank you so much for stumbling it and leaving this cool comment! :-)

    Andy, welcome to ShanKri-la and thanks for the kind words. WordPress on your server is extra work for you but gives you a lot more flexibility than having a WordPress.com blog. Think of custom themes, plugins of your choice. One of the biggest plus with running it in your server is the monetization opportunities. But, if you are just getting your feet wet in blogging, WordPress.com is a great place to get started and get yourself familiar with WordPress admin interface, etc. I started with a WordPress.com blog myself before moving on to a self-hosted WordPress blog. Good luck and hope to see you around.

    Fahad & Syahid, thanks a lot friends. :-)

  • http://www.shankrila.com K

    Keith, thanks a lot for the stumble and the great review of this post at TB! I am so humbled. :-)

    JR, there is a lot of changes in the admin but hopefully they make your tasks easier than making it harder to find things.

  • http://www.shankrila.com K

    Alex, you are welcome. I am a regular reader of your WpEngineer blog and love the work you do with WordPress although I am bad at leaving comments! Thanks for dropping by. :-)

    Coulson, thank you, thank you and thank you. :-) The plugin I am using is called Live Comment Preview and CommentLuv. You can find those and some of the best WordPress plugins in my Top WordPress Plugins post.

    How do you possibly find time to put these huge list posts together? I’ve just updated a few of my blogs to 2.7 and must say I like it quite a bit. The new dashboard is just awesome. Much more intuitive than the old one in my opinion.
