According to the official Word Press blog, published yesterday (February 22, 2011) by Matt Mullenweg himself, the new WordPress 3.1 “Django” is now available for download.

This long-awaited release of WordPress (I had pending work, waiting for the new advanced taxonomy queries), is packed with some new great features, such as:

• A lightning fast redesigned linking workflow which makes it easy to link to your existing posts and pages
• An admin bar so you’re never more than a click away from your most-used dashboard pages
• A streamlined writing interface that hides many of the seldom-used panels by default to create a simpler and less intimidating writing experience for new bloggers (visit Screen Options in the top right to get old panels back)
• A refreshed blue admin scheme available for selection under your personal options.

In this upgrade developers get the lion’s share, with new CMS capabilities like archive pages for custom content types, a new Network Admin, an overhaul of the import and export system, and the ability to perform advanced taxonomy and custom fields queries, and more!

As Matt states in the official Word Press blog: “With the 3.1 release, WordPress is more of a CMS than ever before. The only limit to what you can build is your imagination.“

Hurra! to that, (…) Matt!

Original article on the Word Press Blog

One of my fisrt Word Press plugins “FYEO”, has just been fully rewritten!

For Your Eyes Only (FYEO) Word-Press admin Plugin.

This plugin hides all Word Press Dashboard administrative-related information from non-admin users.

This means that just the admin (or someone with a user level of 10) is able to view them.
This is useful when you develop a wp blog to a client, and don’t want him to see the all dashboard info, word press blogs, resources, new WP-versions, etc.
New v4 version fully rewritten now with more robust coding. Download it here (it’s free): http://www.wdmac.com/wp-plugins/fyeo
