WordPress Ventures Into 2.8.1 Beta

WordPress recently released their version 2.8 with a long list of changes, updates and new items.  But like with many releases, bugs were present immediately.  WordPress and their wonderful group of developers around the world are working on getting these fixed.

One main issue being worked on the WP 2.8.1 Beta is a fix for themes calling categories in a way that is causing them to fail.  As you can see on my site here, my category call is failing at the moment as well.

Other Changes in WordPress 2.8.1 Beta

• Less memory usage by the dashboard
• Automatic upgrade fix when a failed upgrade occurs (files were being deleted)
• Problems with the Rich Text Editor worked around
• Extra security added

If you are still on WordPress 2.7.x it may be a good idea to wait to upgrade.  If you are already on 2.8 you may be experiencing these problems but be patient or go get the 2.8.1 Beta now.
