WordPress 3.0 Released to Public – Thelonious!
I was working on some very crazy ideas this afternoon and saw that WordPress 3.0, dubbed Thelonious… is available for install.
I really don’t know much about it at this point – what have you found? I LOVE the new theme named Twenty Ten… its actually awful close to Thesis! (Very minimalistic) I will use it on one of the “Crazy Idea” I am working on!
Edit:
After watching this video and playing with new install for a bit – WP 3.0 is a HUGE difference!
- The CMS and Blog are now ONE!
- Ability to build your own custom menus
- Ability to design your own class, or type, of pages (Think extra menus for products, people, locations, etc)
- MUCH more… now I’m excited!

I have been doing my part to "Build the Internet" since 1994, when I built my first website! Since then, I have built hundreds of niche websites for myself and many others, focused on design, applications, ecommerce, search optimization and internet marketing.
looks really good to me. I have yet to install it because I am the type to be “last on board” with something new to see if I can get a few reviews on it (same with most all products)…. but according to the vids… it looks really nice.
@Junior – I tend to hold off also Junior, kinda let the bugs work out of it, so to speak.
It was my only choice on the new site install… (On a different server farm) and thus far, I only found one of my main plugins that don’t seem to work smoothly. (OZH Menu)

I upgraded to 3.0 and everything seems cool except the wordpress Bans integration is broke. Mark I used your tutorial to convert my wordpress theme to work with bans and had it working great. Suddenly after the upgrade I get this error on the BANS side.
Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.sitename.com/inc-bans-header2.php) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /home/mfalk75/public_html/shop/themes/BANS BP DAILEY/header.php on line 30
Same error occurs for sidebar and footer
any ideas
thanks
@Michael – Shoot me the URL of the site… Use the contact form if you prefer not to make public here.
Mark
@Michael – Was this working before now? The spaces in the theme name you are using result in a malformed URL.
Your theme name: BANS BP DAILEY (With spaces between words)
Should be: bans_bp_dailey, or bans-bp-dailey (With hyphens or underscore)
My guess is that the spaces in the theme name are cracking the soft .htaccess or functions of the WP permalinks, causing it to break.
OR… the host made a change for WP 3.0, blocking the include files from working. They are definitely there… and the spaces are the only issue I can see.

@Mark Hansen – Thanks Mark, yeah, it was working before this with the name as it was. I’ll try to change that but I think maybe it has to do with the second part of what you said. How would I look into that?
@Michael – I fixed the folder name but it is still broken. I’m not sure what you mean, like hostgator my host is the problem?
I updated! the only thing so far that I had to change was my reviewazon php file, fingers crossed that’s it.
I didn’t realize that 3.0 was out. While logged in to one of my sites, I noticed that several of my plugins needed to be updated, so I clicked the “Update” button and then updated all my plugins with a single click. So I thought. Then, as it was updating, I realized I was upgrading WP to v3.0. I screamed, “No!” at my computer, as I didn’t mean to, nor want to, upgrade to 3.0 at this time (I prefer to wait until I know that the plugins will all work).
My immediate fear was that I had broken the site. Fortunately, it seems to be working fine. I haven’t looked at any of it yet, so have no opinion. But, Ozh Menu is working for me with after the upgrade.

I’m glad I saw this video you provided, Mark, otherwise, I probably would have just upgraded and only used the features I’m already familiar with.
Wow, WP sure has come a long way and this is clearly the best upgrade yet!
so nobody else had any trouble with bans converted templates and wordpress 3.0. I still can’t figure this out, its driving me nuts!
@Michael – I may actually walk through an install some time this week just to double-check.
I just checked a couple sites I know of that are running the dual purpose… (BANS and WP) and they appear to be working fine. I don’t know if they upped to 3.0 or not though Michael.
Was it on HostGator? Have you asked HG about it also? As part of the 3.0 upgrade, it may have required a switch change in php, which wouold block soft includes.
Mark
@Mark Hansen – Hey Mark, yup HostGator. I have contacted them and so far they have suggested stuff that don’t work. I replied by asking them about what you mentioned here and soft includes. Still waiting for answer.
I also tried going back and activating my previous wp-bans theme arthemia. I downloaded that one from buildabetternichestore.com and it used to work but now I get the same errors.
Interested to see what you find if you do a walkthrough install. Thanks for your help. This is driving me nuts..haha
Hey Mark, I figured it out. I replaced a bit of code at the top of my inc-bans-header,footer and sidebar files so this
php if (empty($wp)) {require_once(‘wp-config.php’); wp(‘feed=rss’);}
became this:
require( ‘wp-load.php’ );
I learned it from reading this if you want to know more http://wpengineer.com/embed-wordpress-functions-outside-wordpress/
Thanks for your help:)
So I upgraded to 3.0 and it totally screwed up my BANS site as well. Using Michael’s fix and a little help from hostgator my site is now up and running again.
Thanks!
John, glad it worked. Quick update on this after having another issue with a second site I upgraded. The fix wasn’t working but then I moved the inc-bans header, footer, sidebar files to the same folder that wp-load.php was in and it worked. This was already the case with my first site. For some reason my second site had them sitting in the same folder as the bans theme shop files. Of course you have to change the path from the shop header.php file.
