Succesfully running 2.8.1, but

By Austin On July 12, 2009 1 Comment

I’ve updated the site to the latest release of WordPress. 2.8.1 fixes many bug found in 2.8 and I finally was ready for the update. While everything went smoothly, I did have to update my theme a bit to run some of the additional widget area.

Using the old style dynamic_sidebar( 'Utility: Header' ); didn’t work any more, while just replacing the Title of the widget area with the ID fixed this problem: dynamic_sidebar( 'utilityheader' );.

I also came across a major error with one of my plugins. AsideShop just doesn’t work with and version WordPress

Swekey: A safe web enabler usb?

By Austin On March 28, 2009 1 Comment

I received a Swekey in the mail this week. What’s a Swekey you ask?

Like regular keys protect your car and your home against thieves and burglars, the swekey protects your internet accounts against any kind of piracy

Any swekey protected web site will never accept to log you in if your swekey is not plugged into your computer… Read more

Comment Validation update plus fix

By Austin On March 16, 2009 4 Comments

On this site I use the Comment Validation plugin from Jörn Zaefferer.

You can find out more about this plugin at the WordPress directory.

This plugin is an amazing plugin, but the new version breaks W3C validation. Mostly due to typo’s and small oversights. Lets take a looks at the original comment-validation.php file in version 0.3.

function commentValidation() { echo ' '; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; } add_action('wp_head', 'commentValidation');

Hey, where you able to tell what need to be fixed? Well lets take a closer look.

On line 15 you’ll see we need to change

Add the twittar plugin for WordPress w/ comment threading

By Austin On February 18, 2009 6 Comments

I talked about the Twittar plugin in a previous post. But learned that the read me text file was only useful for installing the necessary php code into WordPress themes that don’t have comment threading enabled.

First open you functions.php, and look for a line of code that says:

function custom_comment()

This is where your new comments are pulled from when you have the threaded comments enabled.

Now just find <?php echo

Plugin Review: WP Greet Box

By Austin On February 8, 2009 1 Comment

Yesterday I found and downloaded the WP Greet Box plugin from Omni Noggin. This plugin could be a very useful tool and keeping visitors from various sites, asking them to subscribe to your RSS feed.

A great feature of this plugin is the ability to allow or disallow a user to remove the banner if they so choose to. Another great example is the different icons and text that show up from where the user come from. For example if this post was to get tweeted by yourself or
