Plugins
Yesterday, I had a problem with editing posts. I’d click “edit”, then the next page would load blank.
Solution: Disable Clutter Free (by Mark Jaquith), which “is a plugin that lets you hide portions of the WordPress posting interface that you rarely (or never) use. Instead of being minimized (and still taking up room), they’ll be completely invisible.” Mark Jaquith will be gone until May 11th, so until then, I’ll have do without it.
I haven’t changed any core WordPress files, and this was working fine for awhile. Maybe my host updated something that broke this.
Note: For future reference, this post was written in WordPress 2.1.3.
The WordPress Plugin Competition Winners have been posted at the Weblog Tools Collection. I’m trying out LMB^Box Comment Quicktags, so hopefully commenters can enhance their comments (especially if they don’t know HTML).
I’ve installed Andrew’s AJAX Shoutbox plugin “Wordspew” on my band’s private site so we can chat in realtime without using full-fledged posts and comments. Version 1.0 RC2 seems to work just fine, too. I’m not going to touch anything with it now, and I’m stoked that it looks fine with Kubrick.
I’ll need to look and see if I should implement it on a my main site. How much will it take to overload the server? *shrug*
Collapsible More Link Plugin (for WordPress 1.5)
This plugin lets you create collapsible more links. Instead of the default “Read more” links that take the user to the single post page, they can click the link produced by this plugin to instantly show the rest of the post on the same page.
I’ll find a use for this sometime. If not, this is for future reference.
Just uploaded and activated the Search Pages WordPress plugin. Looks like it’s working fine. Yay!
I just activated the “Permalink Redirect” WordPress plugin. Very nice! (Golf clap: PhotoMatt)
The WordPress Email Notification Plugin looks really fascinating. For another WP site I’m running, where the majority of people probably aren’t using RSS readers, they might appreciate me adding this to the site. (Golf clap: Prissed in the WP forums)
Carthik finally got time to update the Registered Only plugin. He was nice enough to email those who asked him! It restricts everything on your blog to registered members only, but I don’t think it protects your RSS feeds. Nevertheless, this looks like it’d be awesome to have if you want to keep everything things private, without tinkering with .htaccess.
The Obfuscate E-mail plugin for WordPress has been activated here. I no longer need to manually encode an email address I enter here (usually mine). See it in action on my contact page.
I don’t think most WordPress users realize that their feeds might be broken from » symbols. Go on, check your comments feed. If anybody has done a pingback/trackback to one of your posts, or if you’ve done the same on your own blog, these symbols will break them.
Fortunately, Entity2NCR fixes this. Just upload and activate. Whee! You’re the man, Kaf!
James, I don’t think you realized it when you first posted it - but neither did I. Justin, this does the trick, okay? No need to ask in the WP forums. Phew!
