Notes
• Screenshots taken from WordPress 3.1 RC2
• Installed locally on a Windows machine using XAMPP
• Started with the single install and moved to network; some images may be slightly out of order
• Complete list of WordPress 3.1 Features is at http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.1

Dashboard (Single Install)
It all looks the same as WP 3.0 so far.

Post Formats-Aside
From the WordPress Forums: A “status” is going to be a short status update, usually limited to 140 characters. An “aside” is going to be a short blog post, typically without a title.

This hasn’t changed for aeons.

Import
The import list has gotten shorter. What’s become of Textpattern, GreyMatter, and DotClear?
![Page 34: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Export
Export is now more sophisticated. You can export only posts, only pages, or all content including menus and custom content types.
![Page 35: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Site Settings: General
Nothing to see here, folks; move along.
![Page 36: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Site Settings: Writing
•New section for “Default Post Format”
•No post by e-mail option. (I never could get that to work.)
![Page 37: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Site Settings: Reading
Same as in WordPress 3.0 and earlier.
![Page 38: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Site Settings: DiscussionComment settings are the same as in earlier versions of WordPress.
![Page 39: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Site Settings: Avatars
There’s a new avatar option, Retro. (From the style of video games before Matt Mullenweg was born.)
![Page 40: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Site Settings: Media
The only change is the phrasing of the auto-embeds checkbox.
![Page 41: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Site Settings: Privacy
It’s good to hide test sites and dev sites from search engines, but remember to change this setting when you go live. (Oh—no changes from WordPress 3.0.)
![Page 42: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Site Settings: Permalinks
This is still the same. We’ll probably have to wait a few versions before there’s any built-in UI for permalinks for custom post types or custom taxonomies.
![Page 43: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
NETWORK 3.1The moment you’ve been waiting for
![Page 44: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
New Network AdminAfter you activate the network (follow the same directions as for WordPress 3.0), you’ll find the link to the new Network Admin section in the top right corner of your screen.
![Page 45: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Network Dashboard
Quick Sites Button
New “Right Now”
New Menu
![Page 46: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Network: Sites
Guess what? These are sortable, too, by Path, Last Updated, and Registered. That’s the main difference from WordPress 3.0.
![Page 47: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Network: Add New Site
Because this copy of WordPress is installed locally in a directory, new sites can only be installed in subdirectories. This was the same in WP 3.0.
![Page 48: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Network: Users
Sort by Username, Name, E-mail, or date Registered. A Super Admin is someone with authority to change the network, not just one site. Sorting is new since WordPress 3.0.
![Page 49: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Network Themes
You must enable a theme on the network for it to be available to individual sites. Layout is different from 3.0; function is the same.
![Page 51: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Network Install Themes
This works just the same as for the single install, and is very similar to WP 3.0 except in its placement.
![Page 52: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Network PluginsNote you “network activate” plugins here (for all sites) and can edit and delete them.
![Page 53: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Add New Plugins
When you activate the network, this moves over to network admin. It looks the same as in WP 3.0.
![Page 54: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Update
Once the network is activated, this moves into the Network Admin section. In single installs, it’s under Dashboard in the Site Admin section, same as in WordPress 3.0. The update engine itself appears to be the same as in WordPress 3.0.
![Page 57: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Network Updates
This panel is now located just below “Updates” in the Network Admin section, which is a much more logical place for it. (You used to have to find “Updates” in the Dashboard menu, then locate “Network Updates” in the Super Admin menu.)
WordPress 3.0
WordPress 3.1
![Page 58: Word press 3.1 feature tour](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54c0d3144a7959094f8b4667/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
My Sites
This panel takes the place of “Updates” in the Site Admin menu once the network is activated in WordPress 3.1.
