Styles have been improved. You can specify where Styles are stored at, activate multiple styles, and edit them in the WordPress Theme Editor. You can also now customize the Post Meta (the line that reads Published by John Doe…) without having to edit any code.

Subversion & nightly users: this release is revision 810. A list of bug fixes is here.

If you are still using the K2 Sidebar Manager and you are planning to upgrade to the nightly builds/future stable releases, you have two options:

  • Option A: Start using Widgets.

or

  • Option B: Install the K2 Sidebar Manager plugin. Extract the zip into your wp-content/plugins/ folder and activate it via the Plugins admin. This is the same K2 Sidebar Manager that was included with K2 1.0-RC7, bugs and all. However, this plugin will also work with other widgets-ready themes. There is no support for this plugin.

If you are using subversion or a nightly build, this does not apply.

There is a bug in K2 1.0-RC7 which causes K2′s layout to break with WordPress 2.7.1. If you are using or planning to update to WordPress 2.7.1 (which you should if you’re using WordPress 2.7), you have two options:

Option A: Download the fixed info.php and replace the existing: k2/app/includes/info.php.

OR

Option B: Upgrade to the latest K2 nightly.

One more thing, there will be a 1.0-RC8 release of K2 and this release will not contain the K2 Sidebar Manager. Work is being done on a K2 Sidebar Manager to Widgets importer.

2009-02-18 Update: Added clarification.

Comments. Their features have been consolidated into the default page/single template and can be activated through the use of Custom Fields.

To show comments in a page, add a new custom field with the name: comments and value: 1 (or on or yes, the value doesn’t matter).

To hide the sidebar in a page or a single post, add a new custom field with the name: sidebarless and value: 1 (or on or yes, the value doesn’t matter). You will now get a wide appearance without the sidebar when viewing the page or single post.
