Version 0.1 of the One Search WPMU Plugin is now available for download. I’m making it available so you can use and abuse it. Try it out and let me know how it goes for you.
Remember, this is beta (uh, more like alpha) software and has been barely tested. It works with:
WPMU 1.3.3
MySQL 5.0
PHP [...]
I’ll be releasing a search plugin for WordPress MU. It’s doing the job, but I would love a few others to test it. If you’re interested, leave me a comment or email me.
Why another search plugin?
Well, this one is written specifically for the WPMU. There are a few plugins that already do this, but they [...]
I updated the No Feed WordPress plugin this week. It now accurately issues a “404 Error Not Found” for disabled feeds. It will also correctly display your default 404 template.
Get the update.
When you add an attachment to a WordPress post, the attachment inherits the post’s categories. However, future changes to a post’s categories are not reflected in the attachment. The Attachment Category Updater WordPress plugin fixes that.
This can be beneficial for tag or category searches, and even for custom attachment archives.
If you use it, let [...]
I came across a thread in WordPress support about someone needing to remove all feeds. There was no need for password protection or limited access. They just needed the feeds deleted. Download the plugin that will remove all feeds.
I’d agree that simply deleting the feed-* files would be sufficient and acceptable. However, whenever I hack [...]
During my recent switch, I decided not to import comments. The main reason? It was easier not to. I don’t regret it, but now my posts look less lively. So I need more! For business blogs, even old comments are important. They increase authority and can provide a bit of an ego boast if you’re [...]
Favicons are those little icons in the Address bar and next to your Favorites. When I migrated to Blogger, I lost my custom favicon and inherited the default, orange “B.” To restore it to my original “j.u” favicon, I performed some first-grade slight-of-hand trickery (It’s really easy).
Choose a favicon host.Although possible, Blogger doesn’t make it [...]
With the migration to Blogger from Wordpress, the most effort is going into dealing with post path differences. These differences will cause 404 (missing file) errors if not dealt with correctly. I wanted to be sure that people looking for my older WordPress posts would be appropriately redirected to the correct Blogger address.
My WordPress paths [...]
With each blog incarnation (i.e., reboot, redesign, or relaunch) things are usually updated, upgraded, or improved. But how about a downgrade?
After months of dealing with spammers and denial of service attacks, I’ve decided to pass the bandwidth buck. I’ll be migrating my personally-hosted, personally-managed Wordpress blog over to the free, yet acceptable, Blogger.
Here’s what I’ll [...]
If you’re not using FeedBurner, now is a good time to try it out. FeedBurner is a site that allows you to share your content with others through a central service for distribution. (Okay I tried to make it sound simple, but RSS is sure a lot simpler.)
So why now? FeedBurner has just given more [...]
