Testing WordPress 2.5 RC1 By Jason 18 March 2008 at 7:38 am 1,451 views

I’ve backed up my old WordPress database and decided to get a jump on testing out WordPress 2.5. While the front-end of the site looks pretty much the same, the back-end will take much more getting used to. Check out the details and screenshots here (also for those brave enough, download your own copy!):

WordPress 2.5 Sneak Peak

There are only a few things I’ve noticed that aren’t working. When making a URL, the link box is blank:

Also you might notice the “Visit Site” overlapping the “Write” button. This blank box also happens when trying to add an image. There’s a chance this is because of my browser, but I’m using FireFox 2.0.0.12 and that’s been pretty good to me. The only other issues come from plugins that haven’t been upgraded to work with 2.5, but there’s nothing to be done about that at the moment. Hopefully these issues will fix themselves by the final version, but beside that I’m impressed with all the good I see here!
