WordPress 3.2 Features and Other Cool Stuff

  • Primary release feature: faster and lighter
  • Refreshed dashboard design that tightens the typography, design, and code behind the admin.
  • HTML5 Twenty Eleven theme- Responsive design, HTML 5 and ability to have multiple rotating header
  • Redesigned post editor and full-screen button in the editing toolbar to enter the new distraction-free writing or zen mode
    • All of the widgets, menus, buttons, and interface elements fade away to allow you to compose and edit your thoughts in a completely clean environment conducive to writing, but when your mouse strays to the top of the screen your most-used shortcuts are right there where you need them.
Editor width in Distraction-free writing mode:
Alt + Wider Alt - Narrower
Alt 0 Default width
  • Retire support for PHP4, older versions of MySQL, and legacy browsers like IE6
  • Admin bar has more shortcuts to your most commonly-used actions
  • Comment moderation screen, the new approve & reply feature speeds up your conversation management
    • Keyboard shortcuts are enabled on a per-user setting, and can be turned on by visiting the Profile panel in Administration > Users > Your Profile. Check the Keyboard Shortcuts checkbox to enable keyboard shortcuts for comment moderation.
    • Pressing a approves the currently selected comment.
      Pressing s marks the current comment as spam.
      Pressing d moves the comment to the trash (WordPress 2.9) or deletes the current comment.
      Pressing z restores the current comment from the trash or activates the Undo when that row is selected.
      Pressing u unapproves the currently selected comment, placing it back into moderation.
      Pressing r initiates an inline reply to the current comment (you can press Esc to cancel the reply).
      Pressing q activates “Quick Edit” which allows for rapid inline editing of the current comment.
    • Bulk Actions
      You can also perform an action on multiple comments at once. First, you’ll need to select the comments for the bulk action, using the x key to check the checkbox for the currently selected comment. Shift-x can be used to toggle the checkboxes, inverting their state. Once you have some comments checked:
      Pressing Shift-a approves the checked comments.
      Pressing Shift-s marks the checked comments as spam.
      Pressing Shift-d deletes the checked comments.
      Pressing Shift-u unapproves the checked comments.
      Pressing Shift-t moves the checked comments to the Trash.
      Pressing Shift-z restores the checked comments from the Trash.
  • When WordPress version is updated, only the changed files are downloaded and updated
  • Speed is no longer an issue when using the permalink setting of page title
  • Embed Youtube video by just adding the link.  WordPress will only embed URLs matching an internal whitelist. This is for security purposes.

  • Screen Option settings can be set per user.  Screen options per plugin are an option
  • PressThis option
    • The “Press This” function allows quick publishing with a special web browser bookmarklet. You can create a post by quoting some text, images, and videos on any web page.
