WordPress 2.5 Release Pending – Templates and Themes Changes?

Well I’m glad to say that in the past month, being on the beta testers subscribers list have netted me a great deal of insight into WordPress 2.5. If I were asked to summarize WordPress 2.5 I’d simply say "clean and beautiful" as the admin interface is as well organized as any application I’ve seen and the structure of the code makes template modifications with plugins and overwrites truly endless with possibilities.

Today I just reinstalled a fresh copy of the release candidate and tested a few menu ideas I had from one of my old stock templates and I was amazed at how quickly it came together. One major contributing factor is the structure of the menu in the admin panel and the rest of the layout will make customization a welcome task instead of a chore.

WordPress powers to be hint at the possibility of releasing version 2.5 as early as today. This news comes at just the right time for me personally as I was able to test my two pet projects for WordPress plug-ins and I’m happy to say that they work just fine. Although having only been previously released for clients and beta testers, the moment WordPress 2.5 releases I’ll release my new plug-ins, the Featured Listings plug-in and the WP-Post Planner.

WordPress 2.5 Templates and Themes

Naturally my initial concern was any last minute changes to template code and or template tags used in templates and if that code in any way effected the bridging scripts we use for Joomla and or Open Realty. I’m glad to say that only minor modification was required for our registration bridge and the rest works like a charm. So to are the templates and themes having been built for the 2.3 series of WordPress.
