WordPress 3 has launched and as you have probably noticed, so we have taken the opportunity to update the WordPress Manual Plugin. First the updates:
- We have re-shot all the videos and added new voice overs.
- We have also completely updated the written manual.
- We have added a new video to cover new featured image functionality.
We have listened to your feedback and have made changes to the way the videos are grouped. You told us that the old video groupings were not always consistent with the way you were deploying your clients websites. So we made the following changes:
- Videos are now grouped to match the WordPress menu (ie. Dashboard, Posts, Media, Links, Pages etc.)
- We have shortened the commentary on the dashboard video to only focus on the left navigation, and not mention any of the dashboard panels. You now have the ability to remove the dashboard video now if you want as well.
- You can now change the title of the video tutorials from “WordPress Video Tutorials” to anything you want.

You will then need to choose which videos you want to appear, because the default is to show them all.
Not Updating The Plugin
If you choose not to update the plugin, then it will continue to function as normal. The video groupings will remain the same, even if the client updates to the latest version of WordPress.
