At last the moment has arrived when you can get rid menu interface of the WordPress. Now a brand new and user friendly version of WordPress – Wordpress 2.7 is here to give you the relief from the pains of old navigational menus.

The members of the wordpress team have finally approved the major changes. Matt Thomas, Matt Props and Andy Peatling along with their teams have finalised this new version keeping in mind all the problems which the users have suffered.

Now let’s have a brief overview of this new version.
The most problematic area of WordPress has been the admin menu. The main cause of concern was the loading of screens while accessing sub navigational menus. Webmasters had to wait for it to load, so to reduce this new WordPress has specially designed navigational menu. In case you have been using the nightly build you should be aware those arrow keys were the ones which could be used to contract and expand the menus. Also the box style along with icons that opened vertically and closed horizontally gave a feeling of an advanced mode. But now the new version will have stylish and much more user friendly real buttons.

The header section has three main portions. First is the icon on the left side, then comes the blue link text and the third is the right side area where expansion arrow can be seen on hover or in an expanded state. The arrow is placed just like the favourite menu in a small header segment and when you click on it, it will show you a menu which contains all the options in that section. To close it, just click once more. Now if you want to go directly to the first choice in that section, just click on the blue link text. Here you can also see the other sections available so in case you want to go to other section you need not to come back and then proceed. Just choose the section and move on. So this makes you just a click away from all the available sections. For horizontal toggling, the spacers or the lines dividing menu groups have small arrows attached to them.

While doing all these changes, one thing is kept in mind and that is that these changes should not make it a complicated version. The new menus are redone in such a manner that it gives you advanced features but not at the cost of simplicity. The results are still what you expect. For example if you click on the blue link it will show you the expected results along with some new and advanced options.
So wordpress 2.7 is the version which we hope will end all the navigational problems and will provide us a much more customised way of navigating through the menus.
