JavaScript Pull-Quotes 2.1.2

Version 2.1.2 of my JavaScript Pull-Quotes plugin for WordPress is up.
The biggest change from the user end is that localizations (i.e. translations) now work. (The had worked previously, but broke somewhere along the way.) It includes French and Italian translations.
If anyone out there would like to translate the plugin for others who speak [...]

JavaScript Pull-Quotes 2.1.1 for WordPress

A new version 2.1.1 is up. Among the changes:

Increased efficiency of version checking
Fixed a small bug with the admin footer
Significant cleanup of Style selection code
Moved Default style to resources folder so it can’t be misplaced
Significant error checking RE missing or renamed styles

If chosen style is missing, falls back to default rather than linking nonexistent [...]

On Attribution and Plugin Priorities in WordPress

A few weeks ago I wrote instructions on putting a plugin attribution in the footer of your plugin’s Admin/Settings screen. It’s a good technique, and I’ve already seen a few plugins using it.

Unless you’ve taken the low road and forced the user to directly edit the plugin file, “options” means a Settings screen in the WordPress admin, and most likely you are storing those options in the blog’s wp-options [...]

WordPress plugin attribution footer — update

In a recent post I showed how to put an attribution in the footer of your plugin’s admin screen. In the example I gave, I used a format of:
MyWidget plugin | Version 1.0
I have seen a few plugins already updated and using this methodology, but for the most part authors are adding a third [...]

Virtual Multiblog and WordPress 2.6

This is an important note to anyone using my Virtual Multiblog system for WordPress:
WordPress version 2.6 is going to be released very soon. Until I have had time to test Virtual Multiblog on WP 2.6, I recommend that you not upgrade WordPress past 2.5.1.
I’ve always said that the VMB system is quite future-proof, “unless [...]
