I upgraded KBK Connect today to 3.1. There is a LOT going on with this new upgrade, so I have highlighted the some of the features below. I will provide more in-depth information on the new features and changes later this week.

Highlights

Internal Linking – click a button for an internal link and it allows you to search for a post or browse a list of existing content and select it for inclusion.

Admin Bar – contains various links to useful admin screens. By default, the admin bar is displayed when a user is logged in and visiting the site. Each user can change these settings via Dashboard > Users > Your Profile.

Streamlined Writing Interface – new users of WordPress will find the write screen much less cluttered than before, as more of the options are hidden by default. You can click on Screen Options in the top right to bring them back.

Post Formats – meta information that can be used by themes to customize presentation of a post. I will post more on this later.

List-type Admin Screens – sortable columns for list-type screens and better pagination.

Exporter/Importer Overhaul – many under the hood changes including adding author information, better handling for taxonomies and terms, and proper support for navigation menus.

Custom Content Type Improvements – allows developers to generate archive pages, and have better menu and capability controls. I will post more on this later, too.

Refreshed Blue Admin Color Scheme – puts the focus more squarely on your content.You can select this Dashboard theme via Users > Your Profile.

Just think – that’s only the highlight of the upgrade! I will work on writing up additional information as I noted above. In the meantime, if you see anything wonky, or need help, let me know right away by sending me a message, or chatting with me via facebook. You can also chat with me via the Messenger in your admin (Dashboard > Help).
