Announcing the “SEO Ultimate” PluginNormally when I set up plugin-level SEO on a WordPress blog, I’ll need 5-8 plugins to provide all the desired SEO functionality. Wouldn’t it be cool if there was one plugin that incorporated all that functionality and more into one easy-to-use suite? That’s the goal of SEO Ultimate, which is a free plugin I’m developing on behalf of SEO Design Solutions. Right now the plugin is in its early stages (currently at version 0.6). There are many more features yet to come; as m [...]
WordPress theme licensingThere is finally an official answer to the question of whether or not WordPress themes must “inherit” the GPL license that WordPress itself uses. Matt asked the Software Freedom Law Center to examine the WordPress source and how themes fit in. The final, official answer to whether themes must be GPL? Yes and no. As many people have theorized before (myself included), the PHP files in a theme fall under GPL because they are reliant on the main WP codebase in order to function. The C [...]
Let’s Get More Contestants Into the WordPress Plugin CompetitionThe WordPress Plugin Competition is the best moment of the year, plugin wise. This year’s edition is still running till the end of the month of July and as of writing, there are about 10 plugins (with some really interesting stuff). Still, new plugins are released every day. Why aren’t these authors joining the competition? Participating in the competition is Instructive: you *will* learn something. Guaranteed. Or refunded. Basically, joining the competition is asking for feedback, s [...]
Themes are GPL, tooIf WordPress were a country, our Bill of Rights would be the GPL because it protects our core freedoms. We’ve always done our best to keep WordPress.org clean and only promote things that are completely compatible and legal with WordPress’ license. There have been some questions in the community about whether the GPL applies to themes like we’ve always assumed. To help clarify this point, I reached out to the Software Freedom Law Center, the world’s preëminent experts on [...]
Official WordPress Commercial Theme Directory is liveThe Official WordPress Commercial Theme Directory is now open. It is linked off the WordPress Extend and is part of the parent theme directory set of links. It is not as much a directory as it is a listing of sites that offer commercial GPL themes. It lists the philosophies, a few words about the business models and the need for the encouragement, a list of screenshots and links to the various theme sites and then a list of criterion for inclusion into this site. I like the succinct explanation [...]

Along the way, Ian describes the changes being made, and why you are making them. In this way, you can gain a basic understanding of the roles of the various [...]
WordPress Plugin Related Sites 2.1 Blind SQL Injection VulnerabilityA critical vulnerability has been discovered in the WordPress Plugin Related Sites plugin. An exploit is available in the wild and available on Milw0rm, making this attack easier to exploit. Although, the vulnerability says that version 2.1 is vulnerable. You should assume previous versions are vulnerable as well. BlogSec have confirmed that the current version (at the [...] [...]

WordPress Configuration TricksWordPress Configuration Tricks : If you have ever installed WordPress and wanted to know what else you could do with your wp-config.php file, this is the blog post to read. As Ozh points out in the comments, a couple of tricks were left out but nothing that could not be remedied with a simple Google search (e.g. WP_HTTP) as long as you know what you are looking for. Tips from that page that got me thinking (things that make you go hmmmmm?) include moving your wp-content directory, increasing you [...]

Benchmarking the WordPress Admin PanelDev4Press has done some interesting work on benchmarking various aspects of WordPress and then testing out some popular questions on page loads etc. The methodologies are well documented and the benchmarking setup is standardized. They are testing three version of WordPress including 2.6.5, 2.7.1 and 2.8 (I wish they would have waited for 2.8.1 to be released). This first set of tests were performed on the WordPress admin interface and other benchmarks will follow. While the quantities are not [...]

Massive Migration to WordPressOne of the sites I’m running is a long established community website with zillions of posts and bazillions of comments. The whole stuff is powered by a home made CMS written in Perl, something I did nearly 10 years ago and that is totally outdated today. For instance, there were no such things as “comment spam” back in that time, and dealing with this plague a couple of years after you’ve totally forgotten how your own stuff works is a real pain to deal with, believe me.

Recents Drafts All AuthorsIt's not uncommon that a blog runs by different authors, so it may be useful if you can have a quick look at the drafts of all authors. In our joint blog WP Engineer we created a feed, which keeps us up to date if a new draft of all authors were created. The work of every author is different and the dashboard is the center of information. Therefore we have decided to supplement a widget in the Dashboard, which shows the last five drafts of all authors. I enhanced the existing Plugin Draft Feed. [...]
Introducing YOURLS (Your Own URL Shortener) and its WordPress Plugin CompanionSo, if I didn’t forget to upload a zip archive or to press a “Commit” button, it should be all here for you: the GPL’d URL shortener I wrote about earlier that Lester Chan and I have been using for a while now. Our URL shortener service is called YOURLS, as in Your Own URL Shortener. It’s all GPL, free, do-what-you-want-with-it. Lester is running it on his own domain lc.sg, I’m running it on ozh.in, and it’s fun :) A companion for YOURLS is a WordPress p [...]

Is WordPress.com Hurting the WordPress Brand?Is WordPress.com hurting the WordPress brand? Mark Jaquith seems to think so, and I’m inclined to agree with him. Here’s a snippet of his reasoning… I got a tip that Chris Anderson’s upcoming book Free has the following to say about WordPress: 2. Feature limited (Basic version free, more sophisticated version paid. This is the WordPress model.) * Upside: Best way to maximize reach. When customers convert to paid, they’re doing it for the right reason (they understa [...]

The BuddyPress Revolution (coming soon…)By the time you’re reading this, it is quite possible that the BuddyPress revolution will have happened, but if you’re reading this soon after this was posted, I can safely say that the BuddyPress revolution hasn’t happened yet. It’s under way, but is hasn’t happened. What on earth are you going on about?! I’ll go back a step. You’ve probably got some idea what BuddyPress is and will have heard about it, but chances are you don’t really know what i [...]

WordPress 2.8.1 Beta 1 ReleasedSince so many people are having simple problems with their WordPress 2.8 installations, the WordPress community is working tirelessly to get a point-one update out as soon as possible, and the first step on that road is to test a beta of the release. WordPress 2.8.1 Beta 1 has been released, and they need people to test it out and see if it fixes the problems, so if you are having issues with WordPress 2.8, try the beta, and see if that resolves it. Here are some of the errors it fixes: Certai [...]
2.8 Plugin CompatibilitySome plugins are causing grief for those upgrading to 2.8. HyperDB needs to be updated to the latest version, otherwise tags won’t save. DB Cache also prevents tags from being saved. I haven’t seen an update for it yet. Plugins that load old versions of jQuery for all admin pages will break all kinds of stuff. Plugins should use the version of jQuery that ships with WP. If a plugin must use a particular version of jQuery, that version should be queued only for the plugin’s [...]
