Adopt a plugin or 7

My profile on WordPress.org has almost 30 plugins listed. I wrote (or contributed to) some of these to fill a vacancy (at the time) in basic functionality available in the community. There are others that I wrote as part of a development project. There are several that we have never used on our sites. Over [...]

Updates for WordPress 3.3

I’ve updated the development version of both Domain Mapping and Sitewide Tags. The update to domain mapping has a few warnings fixed & addresses the issue of saving the settings in WP 3.3. The update to Sitewide tags has a few fixes. If you were having an issue with SWT adding duplicate categories, can you [...]

switch themes with a filter

A while back someone asked on twitter if there were an easy way to change all sites in a network to a different one. Yes, that’s fairly easy to do with a simple plugin that you put in the mu-plugins* folder. function ra_switch_to_twentyten() { global $wpdb; $last_id = get_site_option( ‘ra_twentyten’, 1 ); if( $last_id < [...]

Document Repository

Update Aug 26, 2011 Today I pushed out version 0.2.4 which has script fixes for link insertion & cross domain support for IE (tested with 8 & 9). It’s the go version. Those two issues with IE were the only things we found since 0.2.3. Update Aug 11, 2011 Today I pushed out version 0.2.3 [...]

Plugin compatibility with WP 3.2

Andrea & I are going to be on vacation for a couple weeks. I knew I wouldn’t be around after WP 3.2 was released, so I tested some of the network specific plugins against the latest RC. Latest Release was compatible with WP 3.2RC3: SharDB 2.7.5 Sitewide Tags 0.4.1.1 Genesis Simple Menus 0.1.3.2 Development version [...]

Networkwide Menu

Since WordPress 3.0 was released we’ve had quite a few inquiries about the possibility of having the same menu across a network. This morning I had a bit of time to pull together a small plugin that accomplishes that. Basically what it does is cache a menu on the main site and display it on [...]

BP multi-network update

A quick note for the RSS subscribers that I updated the Multiple BuddyPress Social Networks to include instructions on getting the forums to work correctly in a multi-network configuration.

Sitewide Tags for WP 3.1.3

Some of the security changes in WP 3.1.3 causes Sitewide Tags to create a new post in the tags blog every time the post is updated after it’s been published. I’ve updated the development version. The development version should work correctly for WP 3.0 through 3.1.3. If you are currently using Sitewide Tags, please give [...]

Multiple BuddyPress Social Networks

Since the merge of WordPress and WordPress MU, WordPress has supported running multiple WP networks in the same WP install. This site has been part of a multi-network install for more than two years. In WordPress, the networks are almost completely separated. The only thing that is shared between networks is the user infomation. Since [...]

Network CSS hack

In mid-March we had a couple users sign up at our GenesisConnect demo site in short succession. A few hours after the second registration both users posted numerous spam links to the activity stream. A quick check of the access log showed that both users had logged in from the same IP address. Naturally I [...]
