The code for this was originally in the home theme of the WPMU download, so thanks to Donncha for that bit. ;)

Last Updated Sites widget (60)

I tested it in the mu-plugins folder, but you should also be able to use it as a regular plugin as it only needs to run on one blog. It’s also the older widget code, so you can only use it once, not multiple times, and it has no options. Short, sweet & simple.

It does!

    So, if you’re looking to have a widget that will show the last ten blogs, go get it here.

When they upgraded to WordPress 3.0, it was having an error. I fixed the error and forwarded it to our client. Other folks reported the same issue in this thread in the WP support forums. The author of the plugin posted and indicated he was going to be tied up for a bit. I have forward the update to the plugin author. At some point he will be releasing an updated version.

      In the mean time, you can download my updated version: WP125 Ads Plugin (92). If you have issues with it, please post those issues in the support thread linked above. I won’t be attempting to do other bug fixes or CSS changes.

One of those is no longer available for download. Because it was such a handy plugin, I updated the plugin for WordPress 3.0 so that it works with both single and network installs. It can be installed in either the mu-plugins or plugins folder. Here are the features:

      In a single site WordPress install adds the following privacy options:

      • I would like my site to be visible only to Site subscribers.
      • I would like my site to be visible only to Site administrators.

      In a WordPress network activated on an individual site adds the following privacy options:

      • I would like my site to be visible only to Registered network users.
      • I would like my site to be visible only to Site subscribers.
      • I would like my site to be visible only to Site administrators.

      When Network Activated or in the mu-plugins folder in a WordPress network adds the following:

      • A privacy selector in the Super Admin -> Options page to allow individual site privacy or the 3 above across the network.
      • If the network setting is individual privacy the Super Admin -> Edit Site screen has a privacy selector.

      Thanks to D Sader for the original version. Download Network Privacy.

Just a dust and a clean, and sometimes a sprinkle of awesome.

      New in the Featured Posts plugin: a short code. Set it up, pull in a feed, pick & choose your posts, slap the shortcode in a page you’ve set to home and there you go.

      Download it from the repo: Featured Posts

      ]]>       http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/buddypress-child-themes/feed/ 2       Disabling the Plugin/Theme editor 3.0 http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/disabling-the-plugintheme-editor-3-0/ http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/disabling-the-plugintheme-editor-3-0/#comments Mon, 12 Apr 2010 16:04:00 +0000 Ron http://wpmututorials.com/?p=362 One of the features that is coming in WordPress 3.0 is the Plugin & Theme editors will be enabled for Super Admins (the new name for site admins). If you have a closed site with a known list of users, it will be a nice feature to have. On the other hand, if you have open registrations with a larger list of users, I strongly recommend that you disable the plugin and theme editor.

      The aim of most website hacks is to gain access to the source code of the website to insert links to spam sites. If you disable the plugin & theme editor, you place another barrier between a hacker and the source code of your install. Cleaning up a couple hundred themes, is not an insignificant task. And, even one hack will cost you far more time than the convenience of the editors are likely to ever save you.

      I’ve written a plugin that we will be installing in all of our MU installs before upgrading to WP 3.0 that disables both editors.

      You can download it here: Disable Theme/Plugin Editors in WordPress 3.0 (202).

      Updated: If the plugin causes issues with your theme’s options you can also add a line in wp-config.php to disable the editors

      define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT',true);

      That was added to after I wrote this post :)
