WordPress Plugin Updates for WordPress 2.8

This morning saw the release of WordPress 2.8 which fixed a significant number of small issues with the platform but also required an extensive review of all the plugins I have released over the past few months as a result, all 13 of my existing plugins have received an update this morning to ensure compatibility with the new release.

As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

New Updates to WordPress Plugins

This week I took a little bit of time and cleaned up some inconsistencies on my four new plugins, here’s a quick summary:

Easy Technorati Tags for WordPress

I’ve added a new menu and improved instructions for how to include the Technorati tags in your blog posts.

Easy Popular Posts

There’s a new admin menu for the plugin, and I’ve fixed an error in the documentation which incorrectly labeled echo as an option.

Easy Random Posts

There’s a new admin menu for the plugin, and I’ve fixed an error in the documentation which incorrectly labeled echo as an option.

Easy Scheduled Posts

There’s a new admin menu for the plugin, and I’ve fixed an error in the documentation which incorrectly labeled echo as an option. I’ve also added a new option to the function which allows you to control wether to link to the scheduled post or not.

All four plugins are available for free download and are compatible with WordPress 2.0.x -> 2.7.1, if you have any questions please feel free to drop me a line.

Easy Technorati Tags for WordPress

TechnoratiThere are a few other Technorati Tags generators for WordPress out there but I found most of them overly complicated and fairly difficult to use, often requiring custom fields or complex processes. What this plugin does is takes the native tags from WordPress and generates a list of Technorati tags for your blog.

Usage

To use the Easy Technorati Tags for WordPress plugin, simply download and install onto your WordPress website. You can then add it to your theme by inserting the code <?php echo timu_technorati_tags() ;?> to your blog theme files or to a sidebar widget.

Output

The tag generates a comma separated list of tags complete with Technorati links. I choose to return it as a value rather than write it directly so that if you’d like to make changes or process the results, you can do it easy.

You can download the plugin directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory. Don’t forget to rate the plugin if you’ve enjoyed it.

How You Can Help

I love developing plugins for WordPress and do my best to always keep them free but of course it take a lot of time and effort to build these plugins so if you’d like to say thanks, the best way is to take a few moments and write about the plugin on your own website, include a link to my website from your posts or download and rate the plugin on the official plugin directory.
