Essential Plugins for WordPress 2.5

Essential Plugins for WordPress 2.5

With every new version of WordPress, I update my list of plugins that I consider to be essentials.  That is, these are the group of plugins that I install in almost every instance of WordPress that I run on my site.  In the last couple of weeks, there have been several really slick little plugins [...]

WP-Stats Problems

WP-Stats Problems

I don’t track my blog stats quite as religiously as I did a year ago, so it was a couple of days after I upgraded to WordPress 2.3 before I realized that something very strange was happening with my stats.  I switched to WP-Stats awhile back because it’s lightweight and takes some of the load [...]

WordPress 2.3

I’ve successfully migrated this blog to WordPress 2.3, and I was actually a little surprised at how painless it was.  I did turn up a handful of duplication errors with regard to the wp_term_relationship tables, even though I’d made sure I deleted those tables beforehand, but in spite of that, I think everything migrated to [...]

Bad Behavior Behaves Badly

Well, that was fun.  I’ve been having some issues recently with a couple of my WordPress installations.  In a nutshell, every form that has anything to with communication to the database was choking.  Data wasn’t being saved to the database, screens weren’t loading properly, functions weren’t… functioning.  It took me a little while of searching [...]

WordPress 2.3 Beta 1 Test

I’ve been toying around with the WordPress 2.3 Beta 1 most of the day today.  I basically copied this site’s files and database to another location, uploaded the 2.3 files, and ran the upgrade script.  Then I spent the next several hours mucking about with the new system.  Here’s what I’ve discovered so far:

The only plugin [...]

Safari

I think I finally tracked down the memory leak in Firefox.  I’m still waiting to see if anything goes completely haywire, and I do need to double-check it on my PC at home to be sure, but I think the problem may have been the Firebug addon.  While it is a very useful tool for [...]

A Look at WordPress 2.3

Small Potato has written up a preliminary review of WordPress 2.3 Beta 1, and I must say that the new features being introduced into this version are positively yummy.  I think I’m going to really like having tags native to the WordPress core.  I was worried about the need for a tag importer for those [...]

WordPress Plugin – Subscriber Gadget for myDashboard

WordPress Plugin – Subscriber Gadget for myDashboard

The Subscriber Gadget is an additional gadget for the myDashboard gadget library.  It works in conjuction with two other plugins – the Subscribe to Comments plugin and the complementary WP View Subscriber Info plugins, the latter of which places a module in the default WordPress dashboard that shows you how much subscribers you have to your posts.  [...]

Bit by the Coding Bug

I’m getting my inner geek on – again.  I spent the majority of my day today trying to figure out how to crosspost from WordPress to MySpace.  I’d found a hack that looked like it had potential that I messed with for quite a while, but so far I’ve had no success in getting it to run, [...]

Some New WordPress Plugins

I haven’t done one of these in a while, but I wanted to point out a handful of new plugins I’ve started using recently.

Better Comments Manager is another of those plugins that’s been added to my list of essentials for any WordPress installation.  It adds a tab to your dashboard that allows you to view your [...]
