WordPress Version 3.0 Hosting Now Available
WordPress version 3.0 was released earlier this month (17th June).
We have updated our WordPress installer to install this new release. As well as the core upgrade being made to 3.0, we have also made some amendments to the way that you can install themes and plugins. The new changes mean that any theme or plugin can be installed on your web site hosted by us in under two seconds. (Previously we retrieved themes and plugins via FTP, which could take around 30 seconds.)
Main Changes in WordPress 3.0
- A new default theme;
- Custom background support;
- Custom post types (this means you’re no longer limited to posting either posts or pages);
- Custom taxonomies (for example, you can rate each page or post based on its suitability for different age ranges);
- Simple menu management;
Information for Existing Clients
There is no simple way to automatically upgrade from version 2.9.2 to version 3.0. The easiest way to upgrade is to download the new version from wordpress.org and then upload the new files to your web space using FTP. As always, before you make any changes ensure that you back up both your files and MySQL database.
If you don’t want the hassle of having to upgrade then we can professionally upgrade WordPress to version 3.0 for just £19.95. Simply let us know that you would like to upgrade and we’ll take care of it for you.
