WPMU 2.8.5.2 Ready to Roll
October 31st, 2009
2.8.5 & 2.8.5.1 were released yesterday, unfortunately a bug crept in that prevented non site admins from publishing posts. However, Donncha quickly rectified the bug, and tagged the latest release version. 2.8.5 was dubbed a “hardening” release, and upgrading is recommended. Donncha outlines the details.
I’ll also be releasing soon a WPMU version of the WPlite plugin. WPlite allows you to hide admin menu items from non-admin users, the modified version will hide menu items from blog admins, but not site admins. It doesn’t lock down the page, the URL is still accessible, but for the unsuspecting user they’ll never know a setting is available to them. For potentially destructive pages for inexperienced users you can use the Toggle Admin Menus plugin to secure blog admins from doing something they would regret (like delete their blog).
