WordPress 3.4 is not available yet but the codex page is listing new features. The third bullet point caught my attention.
- Better checking for values for multisite upload limit
- Only allow _multisite_ super admins to demote themselves on a site
- Create a network/about.php page and leverage it, to prevent the dashboard from switching to the blog admin
- Add an “Edit Site” submenu to the admin bar site menu when a super admin visits a blog dashboard
- Autocomplete for add-user screens
- Do not save the last visited tab on the multisite Network Themes page and Site Themes tab
- Make ‘Network Activate’ a bulk action on network/plugins.php
- Increase default upload space for sites on a network from 10M to 100M
- Clean up plugins.php with regards to recently edited files, deactivations, and the network admin.
Yes. An about.php page would be nice but the page is just a placeholder without valuable information for the network admin. The information on the customizer needs to be in admin and is not required for a network admin to know.
Consider the following descriptions under Customizer on the about.php page:
All In One Place
- OMG, this one thing does multiple things, on one screen.
Live Preview
- Immediate feedback on what your butchery looks like.
Commitment Issues?
- Before activating that new theme, customize and test drive it.
Variable Height Headers
- If your theme elects, image headers can be made at variable height and even width. Pick the size that suits you.
What the heck are they talking about? The page is confusing to say the least.
What they mean is that an admin can do a live preview, change titles, change the front page from dynamic to static, and change the header for your site’s theme. These bullet points need to be rearranged to clarify this is for a theme and nothing about the network.
I’ll keep playing with the latest WordPress version and hopefully you will too.
