According to WordPress blog “This is an early beta. This means there are a few things we’re still finishing.

New Features :

• Custom Menus System is not finished in Beta 1, This will change in Beta 2 with improved layout & functionality.
• WordPress and WordPress MU merged but you’ll need some simple directions to get started
• New icons added for the Super Admin area
• There are other changes to the UI and interface as well, including the addition of a new default theme “Twenty Ten” and custom post type functionality improvements.

Problem :

While making the new post on wordpress blog that requires any media like Image & video, When you try to upload media in post you get this error message.

Unable to create directory /wp-content/uploads/2010/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

The parent directories “uploads” and “2010″ had 777 permission so there was nothing wrong with the permission settings.

Fix :

The problem was not with the directory permissions, but it was with URL where Wordpress was trying to upload the image.

• Go to Settings > Miscellaneous > Store uploads in this folder
• Remove ” / ” from the front of “wp-content/uploads“

There is another way to of changing the file upload path of your Wordpress blog by modifying wp-config.php file.

• Add this define(‘UPLOADS’, ‘wp-content/new_folder’); Before this require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);

• Create the new location for the WordPress files to be stored
  For Example : Here we use http://yourdomain.com/wp
• Go to General option under “Settings” tab in wordpress admin
• Change the address to the new location of your WordPress files in WordPress address (URL) field
  For Example : http://yourdomain.com/wp
• Change the address to the root directory’s URL in WordPress address (URL) field
  For Example : http://yourdomain.com
• Click on Save Changes. You will get a message about file not found but don’t worry about error message & leave it.
• Copy index.php and .htaccess files from the WordPress directory http://yourdomain.com/wp into the root directory http://yourdomain.com of your site
• Open index.php form the root directory http://yourdomain.com in any text editor & change the following.
  Change this line
  require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
  to the following
  require(‘./wp/wp-blog-header.php’);
• Login from the new location which is http://yourdomain.com/wp/wp-admin/
• If you have set up Permalinks, go to the Permalinks option under “Settings” tab and update your Permalink structure.WordPress will automatically update your .htaccess file if it has the appropriate file permissions. If WordPress can’t write to your .htaccess file, it will display the new rewrite rules to you, which you should manually copy into your .htaccess file in the same directory as the main index.php file.

While using on one of my project encounter this problem, When I open Home Page after installation an endless loop occur.

Why this happens?

It happens when during installation of Wordpress MU, database was not created but the wp-config.php has already been written. If wordpress find this file then installation not begin & it search for the DB to load blog but actual DB information is not there. It try again & again to load blog & redirect loop occur in result.

Fix

To fix the issue simply rename or delete the wp-config.php that was generated during the first install & re-install wordpress mu. Make sure you have corrected the DB problem before you go through the install again & database user you are using during installation have sufficient permission to create and manipulate database tables.

Normally wordpress themes behaviour is to combine both comments and trackbacks / pingbacks together and display under the same list.

To separate editing of comments.php required.

<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?> 

Add After this:

 <?php } else { $trackback = true; } /* End of is_comment statement */ ?>

Add After this:

<?php if ($trackback == true) { ?>
<h3>Trackbacks</h3>

<?php $comment_type = get_comment_type(); ?>
<?php if($comment_type != 'comment') { ?>
