Some of the coolest <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/2009\/12\/wordpress-2-9\/\" rel=\"noopener\">new features<\/a> are &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0 <strong>Thrash it<\/strong>&#8211; Deleting posts, pages and comments will no longer delete them forever, but place them in Thrash instead. So if you accidentally delete a post or comment, you can undelete it from the Trash. Also when you delete comments, there are no more annoying confirmation requests, I am sure that is a big relief.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Image editor<\/strong> &#8211; There were hints that WordPress 2.9 was getting a basic image editor. Now you can crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images easily and this will really be useful to bloggers who use external image editors now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Batch plugin update &#8211; <\/strong>Now you don&#8217;t need to upgrade all plugins one at a time. WordPress 2.9 lets you update multiple plugins at once. The compatibility data from plugins directory ensures your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Easier video embeds<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0 I used to use a WordPress plugin to do this, but now WordPress can do this by default.\u00a0 WordPress 2.9 features <a href=\"https:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Embeds\" rel=\"noopener\">Oembed support<\/a> for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv &#8211; which means you simply paste the url of the video and WordPress will convert to the correct video embed code automatically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\u00a0 Database optimization support<\/strong> &#8211; WordPress has some cool tricks activated in the backend which provides automatic WordPress database optimization! Edit your <code>wp-config.php<\/code> file and add<br \/>\n<code>define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);<\/code><\/p>\n<p><embed src=\"http:\/\/v.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/video\/flvplayer.swf?ver=1.11\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"224\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"guid=NBZ853Xn&amp;width=400&amp;height=224\" title=\"Introducing WordPress 2.9 Carmen\"><\/embed><\/p>\n<p>These are just a few of the tweaks behind this release.
