You must know about this release

  • The custom menus system (Appearance > Menus) is not quite finished. In Beta 2, the layout will be different and a bunch of the functionality will be improved, but we didn’t want to hold things up for this one screen. You can play with making custom menus, and report bugs if you find them, but this is not how the final screen will look/work, so don’t get attached to it.
  • The merge! Yes, WordPress and WordPress MU have merged. This does not mean that you can suddenly start adding a bunch of new blogs from within your regular WordPress Dashboard. If you’re interested in testing the Super Admin stuff associated with multiple sites, you’ll need some simple directions to get started.
  • We’re still fiddling with a few small things in the UI, as we were focused on getting the more function-oriented code finished first. For example, we’re getting a new icon for the Super Admin section.

Best new thing in wordpress 3.0 beta

  • Play with the new default theme, Twenty Ten, including the custom background and header options.
  • Custom Post Type functionality has been beefed up. It’s really easy to add new types, so do that and see how it looks!
  • WordPress MU users should test the multiple sites functionality to make sure nothing broke during the merge.

Solved: issue with wordpressMU image or media uploading

Single wordpress and wordpressMu has different behaviour.. If you are using apache webserver then there is no issue but if you are using than there is issue with image mapping. specially with nginx web server.
You need to write the rewrite rule for image. Also you need to check about folder permission in your “blogs.dir” directory. change folder permission to 777.
For single wordpress there is uploads folder is present but for wordpressMu there is no uploads folder present in directory. You should look for blogs.dir folder which is present in wordpressMu/wp-content folder.

For solve the issue add the following lines in your apache configuration(httpd.conf) file. If this file is not present then add following lines in your .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

One another issue.
You should check the “Upload File Types” settings going here.
http://yoursite/wp-admin/wpmu-options.php

Check the “Max upload file size” and also check the “Blog upload space”

For Nginx you will find the configuration code from https://purabtech.in/image-upload-issue-in-wordpressmu-with-nginx/
