WordPress 2.7 new administrator interface

wordpress-27Somebody said WordPress V2.7 has a totally different administrator interface, this make me curious about it, so decided to upgrade my website this night, just want to look at how different it is.

1. no backup db, no backup WordPress V2.6.5 codes, just using last night backup

2. access wp-admin, disable all plugins

3. ftp login, uploaded default theme

4. modify theme used from my personal theme(SimpleIT1999) to default theme

5. upload new codes of WordPress V2.7

6. access wp-admin, click upgrade, succeed.

7. access wp-admin, again. new interface is shown. just as left-top image.

8. Difference:

Menu from top to left

more drop down menu or function

Post writing has small text box, I donn’t like this change.

… …

I donn’t like there columns in background,  the old one is better.

The menu style of “Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu” fits with me, which alway let me remember mambo.

9. Enable plugins installed.

10. change theme to my SimpleIT1999

It’s OK, my website is WordPress V2.7 now.

But I feel a little inconvenienc, because just familiar with V2.6.5

BTW, alt+shift+t, will add “more” into your post.

    What about this mate : An Unexpected HTTP Error occured during the API request.

    Do you have any solutions?
