Updating to WordPress 3.7-beta2-25774-20131014
Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/nightly-builds/wordpress-latest.zip…
Unpacking the update…
Installation Failed
Error: [mkdir_failed_pclzip] Could not create directory.

I reinstalled (ftp) 3.0 beta2 by hand, and then repeated the automatic update and got the same results. Setup details:
– plugins: akismet 2.2.7 & WordPress.com Stat 1.6.3 package (alllatest versions)
– Dutch language (.mo) file installed
– site https://www.fotogroepwaalre.nl (but I will fix it)

I will do some further experimentation, but wanted to report this quickly.

I’m playing with the new menu and don’t understand what is the right way to use it.
Let’s say I want to build a CMS site without blog, I would like to display a menu with Home | Products | Services | About
Products will show a submenu with Product 1 and Product 2
Services will show a submenu with Service 1 and Service 2

Should I create a menu with pages only?
ex. add page products to the menu, then add page product1 and product2
I tried to build a submenu according to this post

Adding submenu to some of the menu item is quite simple. 1st, add menu item which will be submenu item. 2nd, drag this item to the menu item under which you wish to have submenu and drop on it. That’s all. Simple, right?

but it doesn’t work, dragging it just change the order

Any help/link appreciated!

it happen on 2.3-beta1, so i just upgraded fresh installed 2.3-beta1 to 2.3-beta2. but still the same.

what should i do?

when installing completely new instance, several errors appear while insert statements as some (i think) new columns are not mentioned in the statements ( see below )

I made a workaround setting all the columns to not null, than this part worked fine.

But than I can login with admin/password, but not enter the admin panel. ( message : You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. )

ps: These errors are not the only one, as when you change in wp_posts the columns, in table wp_posts several more columns are throwing an exception.
