Updates for Joomla and WordPress users.
Today, WordPress 3.9 was released.
New features include:
- Drag and drop images right into the editor.
- Images formatted as galleries now show up in the editor.
- Audio and Video Playlists.
- Improvements to Widget editor and Themes with previews
The built in updater will NOT upgrade your WordPress site automatically, this only works within the same point release. Contact 2020Media if you’d like us to backup, upgrade and test your site, or for just £12 let us do this for you for an entire year. See www.2020media.com/managedwp for details.
Joomla 3.3 is just around the corner.
An important change is that the minimum supported version of PHP will be PHP 5.3.10. Users who are unable to update to 3.3 due to the new PHP requirements are able to use the one click-click update, once they can update to PHP 5.3.10. You can quickly check this from your Joomla System – System information menu – last PHP Information tab.
The main features/changes of Joomla 3.3 are:
- PHP 5.3.10 and above is now required
- stronger password hashing storage
- microdata implementation for Joomla content opens the door to better search engine experience
- Replaces MooTools based JavaScript with jQuery equivalents
- new cloud storage API
