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.

WordPress Plugins & Themes

This week was a pretty productive week for updating and editing my WordPress related content here on the website, I updated most of the plugins and a few of the themes to modernize them. In a few cases minor bug fixes but mostly just ensuring they are ready for the new WordPress 2.8 release.

Theme Updates

You can always find links to all my themes in the theme directory, but here’s a run down of some of the changes:

Great Chefs Great Restaurant Web Theme
New! This is a completely new theme for my website and hopefully will be my first contribution to the WordPress directory. It’s designed for restaurant owners and chefs who are looking for a perfect theme for their restaurant but could easily be used for any variety of websites.

One Night in Paris
I recently updated the One Night in Paris theme and redid a significant amount of the front end including a redesign of the index.php file.

Community Friendly Theme
Minor changes to the code designed to make the theme more compatible with 2.8

Plugin Updates

Get Image from Post, a Free WordPress Plugin
New! This is a simple plugin which allows users to return an image from the related post.

Get Better Excerpt Plugin for WordPress
New! The Get Better Excerpt plugin works almost identical to the built in get_the_excerpt() and the_excerpt() functions except it returns whole words.

You can of course see all my plugins in my plugin directory on thisismyurl.com or by visiting the official WordPress website at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/christopherross where I sincerely hope you’ll download and vote for my plugins.

For a bit of shameless self promotion today, I’d love to remind everybody that I’m available to develop custom WordPress themes and plugins for your organizations. Sponsoring a free theme giveaway is an easy way to dramatically increase links to your website and give back to the community.

WordPress Plugin Updates

For those who don’t follow my posts regularly, you might not know that I’m a fairly passionate WordPress plugin developer, in fact I have ten plugins on the official WordPress plugin website as well as another half dozen or so that I’m working on finishing up the beta development for.

Updates

This week I’ve completed updates to a few plugins including adding new functionality to the Easy Popular Posts plugin which allows users to add a list of popular posts to their theme. Users can now sort by ASC for Ascending posts, DESC for Descending posts and RAND for Random posts. v0.1.1

I’ve also added the ability to sort the List Posts with Pingbacks and Tracks by ASC, DESC and RAND options v0.1.1

I’ve also added the ability to sort the Easy Scheduled Posts by ASC, DESC and RAND options v0.1.1

The Auto Copyright plugin is one of my personal favorites, it’s an easy plugin to add to just about any theme which allows users to insert the start and stop dates of their copyright based on the first published post in the database. Now, the plugin also allows users to format how the output looks. v1.1.2

Call for Plugins

I’m a pretty passionate WordPress developer and I’m always looking for plugins to work on, if you have any that you developed but simply don’t have time to work on anymore or would like to resurrect an abandon plugin please let me know about it. I would love to take on a few more plugins to manage.

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.
