Wordpress 3.8 is here! Let's take a look at the good bits



hello everybody Alex here from WP Eagle
calm so wordpress 3.8 came out did you
notice I did because I run quite a few
different WordPress sites so I had to
kind of update them all which I've got
to say it does fill me with a bit of
dread if I'm hotness because some of
them are quite heavily customised so you
have to be careful when you're doing
updates but hey I thought we could you
know have a look at it together and I'll
point out a few the good bits that I
think a good if you haven't tried it you
can you know have a look on here first
and see if you wanna go for it I mean
you're gonna have to go for it in the
end it you know there's no putting off
you know for security reasons whatever
you do have to update but hey let's have
a look I've got the test site up here so
which is still running 3.7 something so
let's update it and then have a quick
look around so well I'm updating a site
I always think it's best to update the
plugins first in fact it is best to
update plugins first because that way
you know you've got the latest version
and if there was any problems with with
the plugin aversion and the latest
version and WordPress you'd hope that by
the time you get around updating that
they've kind of lined out so I've got a
few plugins here so I just can update
the whole lot obviously on a live site
you would back up a whole lot so that if
anything goes wrong you can always
restore it and then you know back up and
then you know try and update each
plug-in individually and see which ones
causing the problem so they're all
updating nicely let's take a look well
let's fast forward time dunno hey that's
all done looks like one of them did have
a bit of a problem there so I well
hopefully we'll be fine let's go back to
the wordpress updates and update the
call you often get messages like that
when your update I find and they're not
always anything to worry about
especially if you're updating lots of
plugins at once it sometimes I don't
know maybe they confuse each other or
whatever so that's just some screen for
woocommerce let's update WordPress here
we go
now if you've got good hosting it should
just work you shouldn't have to put any
ftp details in or anything like that if
you are being asked for ftp details it
only means that your wordpress isn't
right probably on your house side so you
need to get in touch with them and say
there that's not right it should just do
it because WordPress should be able to
write to itself so hey look here we are
wordpress 3.8 so if you haven't seen
already you can already see that they've
they've changed the backend made it more
modern allegedly i like it i think it's
it's really nice and the great thing you
get with this new backend is that you
can actually choose colors to match your
different iphone 5c if you have one I
don't know weighed 105 c but that's
another story yeah and you can just
press here a nice light one a blue one
midnight ectoplasm no quite sure that
means anyway and so that's one nice
feature that then you back end the other
great thing is that the the admin bar is
now responsive so when you're on an
iphone or some smartphone it all nicely
look goes responsive e which is is very
nice that's probably the second good
thing and the third good thing is the
widget area has all been redesigned kind
of laid out differently you've got these
two columns over here now to mess around
with your different side bars so if
you've got a lot of sidebars you know
then easier to manage so really like
that but generally all round and web
best looks a bit more polished and
obviously just keeps getting better and
better so that was it was only just a
quick video on 3.8 there's not much more
to say apart from going update and check
it out for yourself good luck with that
