The following changes and improvements have been pushed live earlier today:

  • Theme Retirement Notifications – sites that are currently using themes that will be retired will now start seeing a notification to users when logged in. A list of themes that will be retired was sent in an email to all Super Admins last week. Please note, ‘Edublogs Default’ was accidentally added to this list. It will not be retired. Learn more here.
  • New Themes Added – Many new mobile friendly themes are now added to all CampusPress networks. Super Admins must enable new themes in Network Admin > Themes to make them available to users. The new themes are listed here.
  • Reader Update – including lists and private comments. Learn more here. Super Admins must enable Reader features in Network Admin > Settings > Reader. The ‘lists’ feature requires that the “Following” module be enabled. We recommend changing the first setting option to “The Reader should replace the default WordPress Dashboard Home page” on all networks so that users can more easily find the reader and its features.
  • Jetpack Plugin Update – to version 3.4.3 – including enabling access to the Mobile Theme module.
  • Redesigned Error Pages – 504 and other server-level error pages are now simpler in design and more user friendly.
