Ever since I’ve taken over development of the WP-PageNavi plugin, I keep seeing people opening support topics like “PageNavi doesn’t show the correct posts” etc.
Most of the time, your theme is using query_posts() wrong.
This version finally brings something you can sink your teeth into, so to speak. I’m talking about the new taxonomy drill-down widget:
As you might notice from the screenshot, it works with hierarchical taxonomies too and lets you do queries like this:
?ingredients=flour+sugar&flavour=sweet
I’m planning on applying as a GSoC 2010 volunteer for WordPress. This is a working draft of my proposal.
One of the key features missing from the list-type administration screens is the ability to view items sorted by a certain column. For example, on the posts screen, you should be able to view posts sorted by comment count etc.
The new tooltip appears whenever you hover over an editable area.
Jason G. Lemieux was kind enough to help position it and define it’s appearance.
If you don’t need it, you can disable it from the settings page.
I’ve recently learned that register_uninstall_hook() allows a single callback per plugin. This meant that if you were using both scbOptions and scbTable, for example, when a user uninstalled that plugin, either the option wasn’t deleted or the table wasn’t dropped.
This version requires PHP 5. If you’re getting an error on activation, it means you’re running PHP 4.
Two template tags have been added:
If you have posts in multiple categories, you can use get_referrer_category() to retrieve the category object, based on the referrer url.
get_referrer_url() returns the full URL of the referrer.
Although Front-end Editor tries to be compatible with as many themes as possible, there’s only so much it can do.
No wp_footer() call
Lots of plugins, including this one, rely on the wp_footer() call to include their JavaScript files. Open your theme’s footer.php file and make sure you have this line somewhere:
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
If your theme supports native thumbnails (introduced in WordPress 2.9), you will be able to change them by double-clicking on them. Also, you now have editable_option().
Last month, Lester Chan, one of the most respected plugin authors in the WordPress world, has announced that he will no longer be able to continue development on his plugins.
Since I use WP-UserOnline on all of my sites, I adopted it (along with WP-PageNavi) and will continue to support it.
If you’re involved in WordPress development, a challenge that you’re going to face sooner or later is how to include JavaScript files efficiently.
In this tutorial, I’m going to show you the best way to do that.
