    Our approach with WordPress has always been to make it run on \r\n\r\ncommon server configurations. We want users to have flexibility when choosing a host for their precious content. Because of this strategy, WordPress \r\n\r\nruns pretty much anywhere. Web hosting platforms, however, change over time, and we occasionally are able to reevaluate some of the requirements for \r\n\r\nrunning WordPress. Now is one of those times. You probably guessed it from the title — we’re finally ready to announce the end of \r\n\r\nsupport for PHP 4 and MySQL 4!

    \n

    First up, the announcement that developers really care about. WordPress 3.1, due in late 2010, will be the \r\n\r\nlast version of WordPress to support PHP 4.

    \n

    For WordPress 3.2, due in the first half of 2011, we will be raising the minimum required PHP \r\n\r\nversion to 5.2. Why 5.2? Because that’s what the vast majority of WordPress users are using, and it offers substantial improvements over \r\n\r\nearlier PHP 5 releases. It is also the minimum PHP version that the Drupal and Joomla projects will be supporting in their next versions, both due out this year.

    \n

    The numbers are now, \r\n\r\nfinally, strongly in favor of this move. Only around 11 percent of WordPress installs are running on a PHP version below 5.2. Many of them \r\n\r\nare on hosts who support PHP 5.2 — users merely need to change a setting in their hosting control panel to activate it. We believe that \r\n\r\npercentage will only go down over the rest of the year as hosting providers realize that to support the newest versions of WordPress (or Drupal, or \r\n\r\nJoomla), they’re going to have to pull the trigger.

    \n

    In less exciting news, we are also going to be dropping support for MySQL 4 after \r\n\r\nWordPress 3.1. Fewer than 6 percent of WordPress users are running MySQL 4. The new required MySQL version for WordPress 3.2 will be 5.0.15.

    \r\n\r\n\n

    WordPress users will not be able to upgrade to WordPress 3.2 if their hosting environment does not meet these requirements (the built-in \r\n\r\nupdater will prevent it). In order to determine which versions your host provides, we’ve created the Health Check plugin. You can download it manually, or use this handy plugin installation tool I whipped up. Right now, Health Check \r\n\r\nwill only tell you if you’re ready for WordPress 3.2. In a future release it will provide all sorts of useful information about your server \r\n\r\nand your WordPress install, so hang on to it!

    \n

    In summary: WordPress 3.1, due in late 2010, will be the last version of WordPress to support \r\n\r\nPHP 4 and MySQL 4. WordPress 3.2, due in the first half of 2011, will require PHP 5.2 or higher, and MySQL 5.0.15 or higher. Install the Health Check plugin to see if you’re ready!

    Our \r\n\r\napproach with WordPress has always been to make it run on common server configurations. We want users to have flexibility when choosing a host for \r\n\r\ntheir precious content. Because of this strategy, WordPress runs pretty much anywhere. Web hosting platforms, however, change over time, and we \r\n\r\noccasionally are able to reevaluate some of the requirements for running WordPress. Now is one of those times. You probably guessed it from the \r\n\r\ntitle — we’re finally ready to announce the end of support for PHP 4 and MySQL 4!

    \n

    First up, the announcement that developers \r\n\r\nreally care about. WordPress 3.1, due in late 2010, will be the last version of WordPress to support PHP 4.

    \n

    For WordPress 3.2, due in the \r\n\r\nfirst half of 2011, we will be raising the minimum required PHP version to 5.2. Why 5.2? Because that’s what the vast majority of WordPress \r\n\r\nusers are using, and it offers substantial improvements over earlier PHP 5 releases. It is also the minimum PHP version that the Drupal and Joomla projects will be supporting in their next versions, both due \r\n\r\nout this year.

    \n

    The numbers are now, finally, strongly in favor of this move. Only around 11 percent of WordPress installs are \r\n\r\nrunning on a PHP version below 5.2. Many of them are on hosts who support PHP 5.2 — users merely need to change a setting in their hosting \r\n\r\ncontrol panel to activate it. We believe that percentage will only go down over the rest of the year as hosting providers realize that to support \r\n\r\nthe newest versions of WordPress (or Drupal, or Joomla), they’re going to have to pull the trigger.

    \n

    In less exciting news, we are also \r\n\r\ngoing to be dropping support for MySQL 4 after WordPress 3.1. Fewer than 6 percent of WordPress users are running MySQL 4. The new required MySQL \r\n\r\nversion for WordPress 3.2 will be 5.0.15.

    \n

    WordPress users will not be able to upgrade to WordPress 3.2 if their hosting environment does not \r\n\r\nmeet these requirements (the built-in updater will prevent it). In order to determine which versions your host provides, we’ve created the Health Check plugin. You can download it manually, or use this handy plugin installation tool I whipped up. Right now, Health Check \r\n\r\nwill only tell you if you’re ready for WordPress 3.2. In a future release it will provide all sorts of useful information about your server \r\n\r\nand your WordPress install, so hang on to it!

    \n

    In summary: WordPress 3.1, due in late 2010, will be the last version of WordPress to support \r\n\r\nPHP 4 and MySQL 4. WordPress 3.2, due in the first half of 2011, will require PHP 5.2 or higher, and MySQL 5.0.15 or higher. Install the Health Check plugin to see if you’re ready!

    WordPress 3.0 Thelonious passed 3 million downloads yesterday, and today the plugin \r\n\r\ndirectory followed suit with a milestone of its own: 100 million downloads.

    \n

    The WordPress community’s growth over the years has \r\n\r\nbeen tremendous, and we want to reinvest in it. So we’re taking the next two months to concentrate on improving WordPress.org. A major part of \r\n\r\nthat will be improving the infrastructure of the plugins directory. More than 10,000 plugins are in the directory, every one of them GPL compatible \r\n\r\nand free as in both beer and speech. Here’s what we have in mind:

    \n

    We want to provide developers the tools they need to build the best \r\n\r\npossible plugins. We’re going to provide better integration with the forums so you can support your users. We’ll make more statistics \r\n\r\navailable to you so you can analyze your user base, and over time we hope to make it easier for you to manage, build, and release localized \r\n\r\nplugins.

    \n

    We want to improve how the core software works with your plugin and the plugin directory. We’re going to focus on ensuring \r\n\r\nseamless upgrades by making the best possible determinations about compatibility, and offer continual improvements to the plugin installer. And we \r\n\r\nalso want to give you a better developer tool set like SVN notifications and improvements to the bug tracker.

    \n

    We’re also going to \r\n\r\nexperiment with other great ideas to help the community help plugin authors. We want it to be easy for you to offer comments to plugin authors and \r\n\r\nthe community, including user reviews and better feedback. We may experiment with an adoption process for abandoned plugins as a way to revitalize \r\n\r\nhidden gems in the directory. I’m not sure there is a better way to show how extendable WordPress is and how awesome this community is at the \r\n\r\nsame time.

    \n

    As Matt said in the 3.0 release announcement, our goal \r\n\r\nisn’t to make everything perfect all at once. But we think incremental improvements can provide us with a great base for 3.1 and beyond, and \r\n\r\nfor the tens of millions of users, and hundreds of millions of plugin downloads to come.

    It’s been summer for about a week now. Whether you’re on vacation or burning the midnight oil, attending a \r\n\r\nlocal/nearby WordCamp is a great way to spend a weekend. Meet other WordPress users, developers, designers & \r\n\r\nconsultants, learn a little something, maybe share a little of your own experience and knowledge, and break bread (or raise a toast) with new \r\n\r\nfriends and collaborators. Here are the WordCamps scheduled for this summer, along with what I know about them.

    \n

    July 3: WordCamp Germany – Berlin, Germany. I love it that they’re using BuddyPress for their event site. They \r\n\r\nhave multiple tracks, and what looks to be a nice variety of sessions. It’s only a few days away, so if you’re thinking of going, get \r\n\r\nyour tickets now!

    \n

    July 10: WordCamp Boulder – Boulder, Colorado, USA. This was \r\n\r\nWordCamp Denver last year, but the organizers have decided to mix it up and go back and forth between Denver and Boulder, which also has a thriving \r\n\r\ntech community. This year the venue is the Boulder Theater (so pretty!), and there will sessions for bloggers and devs alike, plus a Genius Bar to \r\n\r\nhelp people get their WordPress sites all fixed up. The speaker lineup looks good, and I hear they’re pumping up the wifi this year. \r\n\r\nI’ll be there, likely hunched over a notebook with Lisa Sabin-Wilson (author of WordPress for Dummies and BuddyPress for \r\n\r\nDummies) to talk about the WordPress User Handbook project, and/or hunched over a sketchbook with Kevin Conboy (designed the new lighter \r\n\r\n“on” state for admin menus in WordPress 3.0) to work out a new default WordCamp.org theme (using BuddyPress). You can still get \r\n\r\ntickets!

    \n

    July 17–18: WordCamp UK- Manchester, England, UK. The roving WordCamp UK will be in \r\n\r\nManchester this year, and is probably the closest to BarCamp style of all the WordCamps, using a wiki to plan some speakers/sessions and organizing \r\n\r\nthe rest ad-hoc on the first day of the event. I’ll be attending this one as well, and am looking forward to seeing WordPress lead developer \r\n\r\nPeter Westwood again. I’m also looking forward to meeting some core contributors for the first time in person, like Simon Wheatley and John \r\n\r\nO’Nolan. Mike Little, co-founder of WordPress, is on the organizing team of WordCamp UK. Tickets on sale now!

    \n

    July 24: WordCamp \r\n\r\nNigeria – Lagos, Nigeria. Their site seems to have a virus, so no link from here, but if you’re in Nigeria and interested in \r\n\r\nattending/getting involved, a quick Google search will get you to the organizers.

    \n

    August 7: WordCamp Houston – Houston, TX, USA. Houston, Texas, birthplace of WordPress! Fittingly, Matt \r\n\r\nMullenweg will be there to give the keynote. WordCamp Houston is running three tracks — Business, Blogger and Developer — in recognition \r\n\r\nof the fact that people who are interested in using WordPress for their business may not actually be bloggers or developers themselves. This used to \r\n\r\nget labeled as a “CMS” track at previous WordCamps (including NYC 2009), but with WordPress 3.0 supporting CMS functionality out of the \r\n\r\nbox, “Business” is a much more appropriate label. Who wants to bet on if there will be BBQ for lunch?

    \n

    August 7 : WordCamp Iowa – Des Moines, Iowa, USA. Another placeholder page. Happening, not happening? I’ve \r\n\r\nemailed the organizer and will update this post once I know more.

    \n

    August 7–8: WordCamp New Zealand \r\n\r\n– Auckland, New Zealand. They haven’t announced this year’s speakers or topics, but they’ve been running polls to get \r\n\r\ncommunity input into the program. Of note: in 2011 WordCamp New Zealand will be shifting seasons and will be in February instead, when the weather \r\n\r\nis nicer.

    \n

    August 20–22: WordCamp Savannah – Savannah, Georgia, USA. Disclaimer: I \r\n\r\nam completely biased about Savannah, since I’m one of the organizers. This will be the first WordCamp in Savannah, and it’s being held \r\n\r\nat the Savannah College of Art and Design River Club, an awesome venue that used to be a cotton warehouse or something like that. Since Savannah \r\n\r\ndoesn’t really have a cohesive WordPress community yet (though a fair number of people from Savannah attended WordCamp Atlanta earlier this \r\n\r\nyear), this WordCamp is aimed squarely at building a local community. We’ll have a local meet-and-greet, regular sessions with visiting \r\n\r\nspeakers (lots of core contributors coming to this one, plus Matt), and on Sunday it will be combination unconference/genius bar/collaborative \r\n\r\nworkspace. Oh, and a potluck! We’ll also be running a pre-WordCamp workshop for people who have never used WordPress but want to get started, \r\n\r\nso that they’ll be able to follow the presentations and conversations littered with WordPress-specific vocabulary over the weekend. Ticket \r\n\r\nsales just opened, so get your tickets now.

    Arm your vuvuzelas: WordPress 3.0, the thirteenth major release of WordPress and \r\n\r\nthe culmination of half a year of work by 218 contributors, is now available for download (or upgrade within your dashboard). Major new features in this release include a sexy \r\n\r\nnew default theme called Twenty Ten. Theme developers have new APIs that allow them to easily implement custom backgrounds, \r\n\r\nheaders, shortlinks, menus (no more file editing), post types, and taxonomies. \r\n\r\n(Twenty Ten theme shows all of that off.) Developers and network admins will appreciate the long-awaited merge of MU and WordPress, \r\n\r\ncreating the new multi-site functionality which makes it possible to run one blog or ten million from the same installation. As a user, you will \r\n\r\nlove the new lighter interface, the contextual help on every screen, the 1,217 bug fixes and feature enhancements, \r\n\r\nbulk updates so you can upgrade 15 plugins at once with a single click, and blah blah blah just watch the video. \':)\' (In HD, if you can, so you can \r\n\r\ncatch the Easter eggs.)

    \n

    \n

    If you’d like to embed the WordPress 3.0 video tour in your blog, copy and paste this code for the high \r\n\r\nquality version:

    \n
    <embed src="http://v.wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/video/flvplayer.swf?ver=1.21" \r\n\r\ntype="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" wmode="transparent" \r\n\r\nseamlesstabbing="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" overstretch="true" \r\n\r\nflashvars="guid=BQtfIEY1&amp;width=640&amp;height=360&amp;locksize=no&amp;dynamicseek=false&amp;qc_publisherId=p-18-\r\n\r\nmFEk4J448M" title="Introducing WordPress 3.0 &quot;Thelonious&quot;"></embed>
    \n

    For a more comprehensive \r\n\r\nlook at everything that has improved in 3.0 check out 3.0′s Codex page or the long list of issues in Trac. \r\n\r\n(We’re trying to keep these announcement posts shorter.) Whew! That’s a lot packed into one release. I can’t think of a better \r\n\r\nway to kick off the 3.X cycle we’ll be in for the next two and a half years.

    \n

    The Future

    \n

    Normally this is where I’d \r\n\r\nsay we’re about to start work on 3.1, but we’re actually not. We’re going to take a release cycle off to focus on all of the \r\n\r\nthings around WordPress. The growth of the community has been breathtaking, including over 10.3 million downloads of version 2.9, but so much of our \r\n\r\neffort has been focused on the core software it hasn’t left much time for anything else. Over the next three months we’re going to split \r\n\r\ninto ninja/pirate teams focused on different areas of the around-WordPress experience, including the showcase, Codex, forums, profiles, update and \r\n\r\ncompatibility APIs, theme directory, plugin directory, mailing lists, core plugins, wordcamp.org… the possibilities are endless. The goal of \r\n\r\nthe teams isn’t going to be to make things perfect all at once, just better than they are today. We think this investment of time will give us \r\n\r\na much stronger infrastructure to grow WordPress.org for the many tens of millions of users that will join us during the 3.X release cycle.

    \r\n\r\n\n

    It Takes a Village

    \n

    I’m proud to acknowledge the contributions of the following 218 people to the 3.0 release \r\n\r\ncycle.

    Arm your \r\n\r\nvuvuzelas: WordPress 3.0, the thirteenth major release of WordPress and the culmination of half a year of work by 218 contributors, is now available for download (or upgrade \r\n\r\nwithin your dashboard). Major new features in this release include a sexy new default theme called Twenty Ten. Theme developers \r\n\r\nhave new APIs that allow them to easily implement custom backgrounds, headers, shortlinks, menus (no more file editing), post types, and taxonomies. \r\n\r\n(Twenty Ten theme shows all of that off.) Developers and network admins will appreciate the long-awaited merge of MU and WordPress, \r\n\r\ncreating the new multi-site functionality which makes it possible to run one blog or ten million from the same installation. As a user, you will \r\n\r\nlove the new lighter interface, the contextual help on every screen, the 1,217 bug fixes and feature enhancements, \r\n\r\nbulk updates so you can upgrade 15 plugins at once with a single click, and blah blah blah just watch the video. \':)\' (In HD, if you can, so you can \r\n\r\ncatch the Easter eggs.)

    If you’d like to embed the WordPress 3.0 video tour in your blog, copy and paste this code for the high \r\n\r\nquality version:

    \n
    <embed src="http://v.wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/video/flvplayer.swf?ver=1.21" \r\n\r\ntype="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" wmode="transparent" \r\n\r\nseamlesstabbing="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" overstretch="true" \r\n\r\nflashvars="guid=BQtfIEY1&amp;width=640&amp;height=360&amp;locksize=no&amp;dynamicseek=false&amp;qc_publisherId=p-18-\r\n\r\nmFEk4J448M" title="Introducing WordPress 3.0 &quot;Thelonious&quot;"></embed>
    \n

    For a more comprehensive \r\n\r\nlook at everything that has improved in 3.0 check out 3.0′s Codex page or the long list of issues in Trac. \r\n\r\n(We’re trying to keep these announcement posts shorter.) Whew! That’s a lot packed into one release. I can’t think of a better \r\n\r\nway to kick off the 3.X cycle we’ll be in for the next two and a half years.

    \n

    The Future

    \n

    Normally this is where I’d \r\n\r\nsay we’re about to start work on 3.1, but we’re actually not. We’re going to take a release cycle off to focus on all of the \r\n\r\nthings around WordPress. The growth of the community has been breathtaking, including over 10.3 million downloads of version 2.9, but so much of our \r\n\r\neffort has been focused on the core software it hasn’t left much time for anything else. Over the next three months we’re going to split \r\n\r\ninto ninja/pirate teams focused on different areas of the around-WordPress experience, including the showcase, Codex, forums, profiles, update and \r\n\r\ncompatibility APIs, theme directory, plugin directory, mailing lists, core plugins, wordcamp.org… the possibilities are endless. The goal of \r\n\r\nthe teams isn’t going to be to make things perfect all at once, just better than they are today. We think this investment of time will give us \r\n\r\na much stronger infrastructure to grow WordPress.org for the many tens of millions of users that will join us during the 3.X release cycle.

    \r\n\r\n\n

    It Takes a Village

    I’m proud to acknowledge the contributions of the following 218 people to the 3.0 release \r\n\r\ncycle. These are the folks that make WordPress what it is, whose collaboration and hard work enable us to build something greater than the sum of \r\n\r\nour parts. In alphabetical order, of course.

During that time we’ve \r\n\r\ntinkered with the review process and some of the management tools, but haven’t really opened it up as much as we’d like. It’s time to rip \r\n\r\noff the band-aid and take some action; to that end, we’re looking for community members to help with the process of reviewing themes for the \r\n\r\ndirectory.

    \n

    Right now this is a bit like a New Year’s resolution to exercise every day: it’s what we need to do, but we’re still \r\n\r\nfiguring out exactly how it will all work. That’s part of the community involvement as well — we expect that those who pitch in will also \r\n\r\nhelp shape the process.

    \n

    What’s involved in reviewing themes for the directory? There are some obvious things, such as being familiar with \r\n\r\nPHP and WordPress theme code (and the theme development checklist), with an eye \r\n\r\nfor security issues. You would also need to have the ability to set up a separate install of the latest version of WordPress for testing theme \r\n\r\nsubmissions.

    \n

    Hopefully a few talented theme developers are reading this right now and saying to themselves, “I’d love to help! How \r\n\r\ndo I get started?” Just join the new theme reviewers mailing list \r\n\r\nand we’ll get you up to speed on this new opportunity to come to the aid of your community.

    \n

    …Similarly, it’s likely that \r\n\r\nthe future of blogging — and the future spread of knowledge — will reflect the characteristics of whatever blog platform achieves \r\n\r\ndominance. Increasingly it appears that the winner will be WordPress. It first appeared seven years ago as a successor to software \r\n\r\ntypically used for online diaries. Thus, it was originally text-based, but has since evolved to also encompass audio, video, and animation. It has \r\n\r\neven become a popular platform for entire websites as well as important components of prominent sites such as The New York Times. \r\n\r\n

    \n

    (Emphasis mine).

    \n

    Philip goes on to state:

    \n

    In short, WordPress is not merely a blogging tool. \r\n\r\nIt’s a platform that can lead to an explosion of new media properties capable of text, video, audio, music, animation, interactivity, online \r\n\r\nmerchandising, podcasting, and even social networking. Successful innovations will rapidly take root and expand while unsuccessful ones will quickly \r\n\r\nperish or remain marginal.

    The Open Source Awards is an annual \r\n\r\nonline event held by Packt Publishing to distinguish excellence among Open Source projects.

    \n

    Now in its fifth year, the Award (formerly \r\n\r\nknown as the Open Source Content Management System (CMS) Award) is designed to encourage, support, recognize and reward not only CMSes but a wider \r\n\r\nrange of Open Source projects.

    \n

    This year BuddyPress has the honor of being a finalist in the “Most Promising Open Source \r\n\r\nProject” category, which is for all Open Source projects that made their debut within the past 2 years. We’re up against some stiff \r\n\r\ncompetition with LiveStreet CMS, Pimcore, Tomato CMS, and WolfCMS, so we’re asking for \r\n\r\nyour support!

    \n

    I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want or care about the $2,500 prize for winning our category. Andy would \r\n\r\nreally like a sweet 3D-TV, and I could use a posh new living room set myself, but we decided donating the proceeds to the WordPress Foundation was probably the best way to use any cash winnings. \":)\"

    The WordPress.com team has now made it even \r\n\r\neasier to leave your WordPress.com blog for a self-hosted WordPress blog.

    \n

    The new offsite redirect \r\n\r\nupgrade allows you to easily redirect your blogname.wordpress.com blog and all of its permalinks to your new domain.

    \n

    The previous \r\n\r\nredirection method was a five-step process that had a tendency to cause some confusion during implementation. Now, all you need to do is export your blog, purchase the offsite redirect upgrade for \r\n\r\n$12/year (the same price as the previous redirection method), and enter your new domain name.

    \n

    Matt Mullenweg, Automattic’s one and \r\n\r\nonly Chief BBQ Taste Tester, highlighted the importance of the new offsite redirection \r\n\r\nupgrade, stating “the easier you make it for people to go, the more likely they are to stay.” The psychology certainly makes sense to \r\n\r\nme. I’d be less tempted to make a panic-influenced exit if I knew it was easy to leave at any time.

    A few days ago, Mark asked to hear about your “top 5 plugins that you WordPress geniuses use \r\n\r\nin every one of your WordPress installs.” With almost fifty responses, it’s great to see that so many people consider the same or \r\n\r\nsimilar plugins as their top five. Without further delay, here are the top ten of your top five plugins.

    \n
      \n
    1. Akismet: This plugin should be the front line of your blog’s anti-spam defenses. According to \r\n\r\nits directory listing, it’s been downloaded individually over 4,060,000 times, but it’s also bundled with WordPress. Just to give you \r\n\r\nan idea, the current version of WordPress has been downloaded over 15,800,000 times. Considering those numbers, it’s no wonder that this is \r\n\r\nthe most popular WordPress plugin and the top of almost every commentator’s top five list. [directory listing]
    2. \n
    3. Google XML Sitemaps: This plugin was the first XML \r\n\r\nsitemap generator for WordPress. Though the concept of a dynamically generated XML sitemap took a while to catch on, the popularly of this \r\n\r\nplugin should be a clear sign of the protocol’s success. [directory \r\n\r\nlisting]
    4. \n
    5. All In One \r\n\r\nSEO: As its name proclaims, this plugin takes almost everything you’d need for search engine optimization and wraps it into a \r\n\r\nnice package. If you’re concerned about SEO, this is as close to set-it-and-forget-it as these SEO plugins come. [directory listing]
    6. \n
    7. WP Super Cache: This plugin reduces server load and improves load time by serving html copies of every page without the \r\n\r\nneed to run PHP or access the database. It’s the oldest surviving cache plugin for WordPress. By that I mean that it’s been around \r\n\r\nsince 2007 and it’s still under active development. [directory listing]\r\n\r\n
    8. \n
    9. WP-DBManager: This all-in-one plugin allows \r\n\r\nyou to backup, optimize, and repair your database, empty/drop tables, and run SQL queries. Perhaps one of the most interesting bits of trivia on \r\n\r\nthis plugin is that it hasn’t been updated since June of 2009, it still works perfectly, and there’s no other plugin like it. [directory listing]
    10. \n
    11. Google Analytics for WordPress: This is so much more than your typical “enter your Analytics code here” \r\n\r\nplugin. It includes the ability to track outbound and download links, ignore visitors with specified user levels, track meta data via custom \r\n\r\nvariables, and much more. [directory listing]
    12. \n
    13. Contact Form 7: This is one of the first WordPress contact form plugins, it allows you to \r\n\r\nmanage multiple fully customizable contact forms with spam protection, and it continues to be updated at a very steady rate. [directory listing]
    14. \n
    15. W3 Total Cache: This is one of the newest caching plugins. Thanks to its promises of an easy setup and \r\n\r\ncompatibility with most hosting environments, its user base is growing rapidly. [directory listing]
    16. \n
    17. Subscribe2: This is the oldest email \r\n\r\nsubscription plugin for WordPress. The plugin was first released in 2005, and although it may have changed hands a few times, it’s still \r\n\r\nunder active development. [directory listing]
    18. \n
    19. WordPress.com Stats: This is the official plugin for the one and only hosted \r\n\r\nstats solution from Automattic. The adoption rate has been a bit slower than expected due to some interface and usability problems, but with a new user interface on the horizon, things are bound \r\n\r\nto improve. [directory listing]
    20. \n
    \n

    I’m sure that most of you \r\n\r\nweren’t surprised by your top ten, but I bet that some of you were, and at least a few of you discovered a great plugin that you may be \r\n\r\ninstalling today. If you find yourself relying regularly on a free plugin, find the developer’s donation page and at least buy them a \r\n\r\ndrink.

    \n

    I’ll have to join with the popular vote here and say that Akismet is definitely my favorite plugin. You have no idea how much \r\n\r\nof a comment spam nightmare this blog would be without Akismet.

    \n

According to its directory listing, it’s been downloaded \r\n\r\nindividually over 4,060,000 times, but it’s also bundled with WordPress. Just to give you an idea, the current version of WordPress has been \r\n\r\ndownloaded over 15,800,000 times. Considering those numbers, it’s no wonder that this is the most popular WordPress plugin and the top of \r\n\r\nalmost every commentator’s top five list. [directory listing]
    2. \n
    3. Google XML Sitemaps: This plugin \r\n\r\nwas the first XML sitemap generator for WordPress. Though the concept of a dynamically generated XML sitemap \r\n\r\ntook a while to catch on, the popularly of this plugin should be a clear sign of the protocol’s success. [directory listing]
    4. \n
    5. All In One SEO: As its name \r\n\r\nproclaims, this plugin takes almost everything you’d need for search engine optimization and wraps it into a nice package. If you’re \r\n\r\nconcerned about SEO, this is as close to set-it-and-forget-it as these SEO plugins come. [directory listing]
    6. \n
    7. WP Super Cache: This plugin reduces \r\n\r\nserver load and improves load time by serving html copies of every page without the need to run PHP or access the database. It’s the oldest \r\n\r\nsurviving cache plugin for WordPress. By that I mean that it’s been around since 2007 and it’s still under active development. [directory listing]
    8. \n
    9. WP-DBManager: This all-in-one plugin allows you to backup, \r\n\r\noptimize, and repair your database, empty/drop tables, and run SQL queries. Perhaps one of the most interesting bits of trivia on this plugin is \r\n\r\nthat it hasn’t been updated since June of 2009, it still works perfectly, and there’s no other plugin like it. [directory listing]
    10. \n
    11. Google Analytics for WordPress: This is so much more than your typical “enter your Analytics code here” \r\n\r\nplugin. It includes the ability to track outbound and download links, ignore visitors with specified user levels, track meta data via custom \r\n\r\nvariables, and much more. [directory listing]
    12. \n
    13. Contact Form 7: This is one of the first WordPress contact form plugins, it allows you to \r\n\r\nmanage multiple fully customizable contact forms with spam protection, and it continues to be updated at a very steady rate. [directory listing]
    14. \n
    15. W3 Total Cache: This is one of the newest caching plugins. Thanks to its promises of an easy setup and \r\n\r\ncompatibility with most hosting environments, its user base is growing rapidly. [directory listing]
    16. \n
    17. Subscribe2: This is the oldest email \r\n\r\nsubscription plugin for WordPress. The plugin was first released in 2005, and although it may have changed hands a few times, it’s still \r\n\r\nunder active development. [directory listing]
    18. \n
    19. WordPress.com Stats: This is the official plugin for the one and only hosted \r\n\r\nstats solution from Automattic. The adoption rate has been a bit slower than expected due to some interface and usability problems, but with a new user interface on the horizon, things are bound \r\n\r\nto improve. [directory listing]
    20. \n
    \n

    I’m sure that most of you \r\n\r\nweren’t surprised by your top ten, but I bet that some of you were, and at least a few of you discovered a great plugin that you may be \r\n\r\ninstalling today. If you find yourself relying regularly on a free plugin, find the developer’s donation page and at least buy them a \r\n\r\ndrink.

    \n

    I’ll have to join with the popular vote here and say that Akismet is definitely my favorite plugin. You have no idea how much \r\n\r\nof a comment spam nightmare this blog would be without Akismet.

    \n

    What’s your favorite plugin, and why can’t your blog live \r\n\r\nwithout it?

    Version 2.6 was an ambitious update \r\n\r\nfrom the start. We wanted to resolve several outstanding issues and add features that you’ve been requesting for quite some time. From \r\n\r\nWordPress 3.0 Network compatibility to better handling of local drafts, there were several fixes and improvements we wanted to include in the 2.6 \r\n\r\nupdate. We also wanted to add video, make it easier to add blogs and sites, and improve the core structure and stability of the app.

    \n

    From \r\n\r\nwhat we’re hearing, we managed to accomplish some of those items. Many of you have been ecstatic about the way you can now quickly \r\n\r\nadd multiple sites and blogs, and everyone seems thrilled about the new autosave feature. We’ve received many reports of improved speed and \r\n\r\nease of use, so we’re happy to hear that many of you are happy with the update.

    \n

    However, since WordPress is such an amazing and \r\n\r\nextensive platform, we weren’t able to fix everything, and in some cases we created new bugs that made things worse. We’re not perfect, \r\n\r\nand while we did test this new version heavily, it obviously needed further testing, especially for self-hosted sites.

    \n

    Right now there are \r\n\r\nfive major issues that users have reported:

    \n
      \n
    1. Upgrading from an existing older version creates the “Bad username/password” error and \r\n\r\ndialogs. Deleting and reinstalling the app resolves this issue for most users.
    2. \n
    3. Even after a clean install, some users are \r\n\r\nreporting crashes at the start screen and are unable to use the app.
    4. \n
    5. NSXMLParserErrorDomain 5 error appears when trying to view posts on \r\n\r\nsome blogs. Comments and pages work fine when this issue is present.
    6. \n
    7. Video – crash after compression finishes but before the upload \r\n\r\nbegins when adding a video from your library.
    8. \n
    9. Video – crash during upload for many WordPress.org users.
    10. \n
    \n

    Rest assured we \r\n\r\nare working to quickly resolve these items and get a new version back to you in the App Store as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience, and \r\n\r\nwe apologize for the inconvenience that this update has caused for some of you. We will let you know as soon as the new version is ready.

    WordPress.com VIP Cheezburger Network, where you get your daily LOLz from one of their 50 popular sites like I Can Haz Cheezburger? and FAIL Blog, have shared the code of their WordPress theme administration panels.

    Called CheezCap, it’s a simple library for easily creating custom admin panels.

    Cheezburger Network \r\n\r\n uses a single shared theme across all their sites. In order to avoid having to create conditionals and other per-blog modifications in their theme, \r\n\r\nthey developed CheezCap. Any of the administrators can update the options controlling the layout, design, colors, etc, without having to dig into \r\n\r\nthe theme code.

    If you’re a WordPress.com user, you may have noticed that your stats received a significant facelift today. The Flash-powered line chart has been \r\n\r\nreplaced by an interactive Javascript-powered bar chart and the module layout is now fully customizable.

    \n

    The new design was a team effort, \r\n\r\nthough some credit should definitely go to Nick Momrik for handling the new chart and a good majority of the \r\n\r\nextra work, Joen Asmussen for the overall design, and Matt Thomas for keeping \r\n\r\neveryone on track.

    \n

    Currently, the new stats interface is only for WordPress.com users, but the WordPress.com Stats Plugin for self-installed WordPress \r\n\r\nblogs will be updated once they have all the kinks worked out.

    Despite all the bug fixes, I had to re-enter the password for every \r\n\r\nblog that I manage with the app. It was a minor inconvenience, but it still beats using the admin panel in Mobile Safari.

    Attention Apple-gadget-owning WordPress users! Have you been using the WordPress iOS app for iPhone and iPad? Or \r\n\r\nmaybe you tried it a while back and thought it wasn’t for you? Either way, the new release — v2.6 — will knock your socks off. \r\n\r\nWhy? A bunch of reasons:

    \n\n

    There are also numerous bugfixes \r\n\r\nand performance enhancements in this release, so if you haven’t been using the app lately, you should consider giving it another try. \r\n\r\nI’m personally pretty excited to start using the iPhone version more often now that there are all these fixes and new features. Especially the \r\n\r\nvideo upload. You know, for those creative moments that make life fun. \":)\"

    \n

    You can read the full 2.6 release post on the WordPress for iOS blog, and can download v2.6 from \r\n\r\niTunes/the app store. Happy mobile blogging!

    The transients feature of WordPress is a very useful tool for local data cache when pulling from a remote data source (web \r\n\r\nservice/API).

    \n

    A typical workflow goes something like this:

    \n
      \n
    1. Get remote data.
    2. \n
    3. Store it locally as transient data with \r\n\r\na timeout.
    4. \n
    5. Once the data times out, get remote data again.
    6. \n
    \n

    That’s the basics and will work well most of the time. \r\n\r\nHowever there are a few considerations to keep in mind when using transients to store this data.

    \n\n

    To \r\n\r\naccount for the situations where a transient has expired and you can’t reach your remote data source, you will want to store the latest copy \r\n\r\nof your remote data in a more permanent location (probably as an option or post meta, depending on the nature of the data). With this copy of the \r\n\r\ndata still available, you can insulate yourself from situations where your remote data source is unavailable.

    \n

    Here is a better workflow that \r\n\r\ndoes error handling in a graceful and localized way:

    \n
      \n
    1. Get remote data.
    2. \n
    3. Store it locally as transient data with a \r\n\r\ntimeout.
    4. \n
    5. Also store it locally as non-transient data (as an option or post meta).
    6. \n
    7. Once the data times out, get \r\n\r\nremote data again.
    8. \n
    9. If remote data request fails, fall back on the non-transient copy of the data and try to get the remote data again next \r\n\r\ntime.
    10. \n
    \n

    You may want to implement some throttling as well (re-check every minute rather than every request), if so – you can use \r\n\r\na transient to easily implement the throttle duration.

    \n

    Hopefully this is useful to other WordPress devs out there. Other (better?) \r\n\r\nsuggestions on how to handle this? Share them in the comments.

    We discussed the SEO settings of Genesis, which has some of the more advanced SEO settings ever seen in themes, but also \r\n\r\nwhether these kinds of settings should be in themes at all. I referenced a recent post of \r\n\r\nmine and we talked about a plugin Nathan developed, the SEO Data \r\n\r\nTransporter that allows you to transport your SEO meta data from a plugin to a theme, or from one theme to another etc.

    \n

    We’re very happy to announce that the latest version of WordPress for iOS, Version 2.6, is now \r\n\r\nlive in the App Store. Go get it while you read the rest of this post!

    \n

    Video

    \n

    Since the introduction of video in the \r\n\r\niPhone 3GS, we’ve received requests for the ability to record video within the app and then upload it directly to a blog. With the \r\n\r\nintroduction of the iPhone 4 these requests become even more frequent. With 2.6 you can now record, upload, attach, and play videos within the app. \r\n\r\nWhen paired with a VideoPress upgrade, this feature becomes an even more powerful way to publish videos from \r\n\r\nyour iOS device to the web.

    \n

    Local Drafts

    \n

    We’ve also heard and share your frustration regarding losing posts \r\n\r\nsaved as Local Drafts. Nothing’s worse than working on a great post only to have it disappear. That’s why we took all of August to \r\n\r\ncompletely rewrite the areas of the app that handle Local Draft posts and pages. We’re now using Apple’s lovely Core Data technology to save posts locally before they’re published or saved \r\n\r\nonline.

    \n

    While that change alone will bring a new level of stability and reliability to the way Local Drafts are treated, we took it a step \r\n\r\nfurther and added some triple checking to determine if a post has truly been published and can safely be removed from your Local Drafts library. \r\n\r\nOnce you publish a Local Draft, we do an additional call to verify that the ID we got back from the server during a publish actually exists as a \r\n\r\npost or page we can retrieve. Only after we’ve verified that your new post does indeed exist on the server do we go ahead and delete the old \r\n\r\nLocal Draft. All of this happens in the background, within a second or two. We think that’s pretty nifty!

    \r\n\r\n\n

    Autosaves

    \n

    One of the nicest things about editing a post with WordPress is the autosave draft feature. If something \r\n\r\nhappens and you need to revert to an older version of a post, you can just select a previous version and restore it without issue. We’ve \r\n\r\nimplemented a similar feature in 2.6. When Autosave is enabled, while you’re working with a post, a small grey WordPress logo will appear in \r\n\r\nthe bottom right-hand corner to let you know that autosaves exist for that post. Click the logo, and you’ll flip over to a screen that will \r\n\r\nallow you to restore the post from one of those autosaves.

    \n

    Setup Process

    \n

    Another area of the app that we felt \r\n\r\nneeded some attention was the Add Blog/Site Setup process. Previously it felt too clunky, slow, and non-intuitive. So we’ve completely \r\n\r\nrewritten this area as well, allowing WordPress.com users a quick way to add their blogs, and giving WordPress.org users a faster, more streamlined \r\n\r\nexperience when adding their sites.

    \n

    Media Library

    \n

    What would a new video feature be without a new Media Library to \r\n\r\ngo along with it? We’ve taken the old Photos tab and turned it into a new Media Library more along the lines of what you’re used to with \r\n\r\nWordPress. We’re now giving you additional information about media items such as dimensions and file size, as well as the ability to insert \r\n\r\nmedia items into a post above or below your content. Look for even more expansion in this area in coming releases.

    \n

    Bugfixes and \r\n\r\nEnhancements

    \n

    All of you have been incredibly patient as we took our time to make sure this release resolved many long-standing \r\n\r\nissues, both large and small. While new features and functionality are nice, if an app isn’t stable enough to use, all of those features are \r\n\r\nworthless. Keeping this in mind, for the past three months we’ve been fixing bugs here and there each day as we continued to work on new \r\n\r\nfeatures. We think 2.6 includes enough bugfixes and performance enhancements that they deserve to be listed as a separate item. If you’d like \r\n\r\nto learn more about the bugs we’ve fixed or just keep up with our progress as we move along with each version, you can check out the Trac Timeline.

    \n

    Also, one more note about bugfixes. While this release took a very long \r\n\r\ntime to get from our hands to yours, we don’t anticipate the same amount of time for future releases. So from now on expect to see major \r\n\r\nreleases more often, each followed by one or two small bugfix releases soon after. (We’ll be submitting 2.6.1 shortly.)

    \n

    Beta \r\n\r\nTeam

    \n

    We’ve also got to give a shout out to our Beta Team. One of the most challenging things about iOS development is that \r\n\r\nthe release process tends to be a little slow, so getting patches and fixes out quickly can sometimes be a challenge. Not to mention that, as \r\n\r\ndevelopers, we’re sometimes blind to the idea that we could ever make a mistake while coding. So working with our testers on the Beta Team has \r\n\r\nbeen incredibly helpful in making this app much more stable, reliable, and enjoyable. With their help, we’re able to catch and fix bugs before \r\n\r\nthey get into the final release. Kudos to all of you.

    \n

    You

    \n

    As always, your feedback and input is much appreciated, \r\n\r\nand is absolutely crucial in helping us make the app and your user experience better. You can reach us on Twitter at @WordPressiOS or on the WordPress for iOS Forums. And if \r\n\r\nyou find a new bug (no way!) please don’t hesitate to submit a new ticket in Trac.

    \r\n\r\n\n

    If you find that this version is an improvement over previous versions, we’d appreciate if you noted that in an App Store review. More \r\n\r\nthan any other metric, App Store reviews help to let us and our users know where the app stands in terms of quality, and what areas we need to focus \r\n\r\non in the future.

    \n

    Cheers!

    \r\n\r\n\n

    We’ve also heard and share your frustration regarding losing posts saved as Local Drafts. Nothing’s worse than working on a great \r\n\r\npost only to have it disappear. That’s why we took all of August to completely rewrite the areas of the app that handle Local Draft posts and \r\n\r\npages. We’re now using Apple’s lovely Core Data technology to save posts \r\n\r\nlocally before they’re published or saved online.

    \n

    While that change alone will bring a new level of stability and reliability to the \r\n\r\nway Local Drafts are treated, we took it a step further and added some triple checking to determine if a post has truly been published and can \r\n\r\nsafely be removed from your Local Drafts library. Once you publish a Local Draft, we do an additional call to verify that the ID we got back from \r\n\r\nthe server during a publish actually exists as a post or page we can retrieve. Only after we’ve verified that your new post does indeed exist \r\n\r\non the server do we go ahead and delete the old Local Draft. All of this happens in the background, within a second or two. We think that’s \r\n\r\npretty nifty!

    \n

    Autosaves

    \n

    One of the nicest things about editing a post with WordPress is the autosave draft feature. \r\n\r\nIf something happens and you need to revert to an older version of a post, you can just select a previous version and restore it without issue. \r\n\r\nWe’ve implemented a similar feature in 2.6. When Autosave is enabled, while you’re working with a post, a small grey WordPress logo will \r\n\r\nappear in the bottom right-hand corner to let you know that autosaves exist for that post. Click the logo, and you’ll flip over to a screen \r\n\r\nthat will allow you to restore the post from one of those autosaves.

    \n

    Setup Process

    \n

    Another area of the app that we \r\n\r\nfelt needed some attention was the Add Blog/Site Setup process. Previously it felt too clunky, slow, and non-intuitive. So we’ve completely \r\n\r\nrewritten this area as well, allowing WordPress.com users a quick way to add their blogs, and giving WordPress.org users a faster, more streamlined \r\n\r\nexperience when adding their sites.

    \n

    Media Library

    \n

    What would a new video feature be without a new Media Library to \r\n\r\ngo along with it? We’ve taken the old Photos tab and turned it into a new Media Library more along the lines of what you’re used to with \r\n\r\nWordPress. We’re now giving you additional information about media items such as dimensions and file size, as well as the ability to insert \r\n\r\nmedia items into a post above or below your content. Look for even more expansion in this area in coming releases.

    \n

    Bugfixes and \r\n\r\nEnhancements

    \n

    All of you have been incredibly patient as we took our time to make sure this release resolved many long-standing \r\n\r\nissues, both large and small. While new features and functionality are nice, if an app isn’t stable enough to use, all of those features are \r\n\r\nworthless. Keeping this in mind, for the past three months we’ve been fixing bugs here and there each day as we continued to work on new \r\n\r\nfeatures. We think 2.6 includes enough bugfixes and performance enhancements that they deserve to be listed as a separate item. If you’d like \r\n\r\nto learn more about the bugs we’ve fixed or just keep up with our progress as we move along with each version, you can check out the Trac Timeline.

    \n

    Also, one more note about bugfixes. While this release took a very long \r\n\r\ntime to get from our hands to yours, we don’t anticipate the same amount of time for future releases. So from now on expect to see major \r\n\r\nreleases more often, each followed by one or two small bugfix releases soon after. (We’ll be submitting 2.6.1 shortly.)

    \n

    Beta \r\n\r\nTeam

    \n

    We’ve also got to give a shout out to our Beta Team. One of the most challenging things about iOS development is that \r\n\r\nthe release process tends to be a little slow, so getting patches and fixes out quickly can sometimes be a challenge. Not to mention that, as \r\n\r\ndevelopers, we’re sometimes blind to the idea that we could ever make a mistake while coding. So working with our testers on the Beta Team has \r\n\r\nbeen incredibly helpful in making this app much more stable, reliable, and enjoyable. With their help, we’re able to catch and fix bugs before \r\n\r\nthey get into the final release. Kudos to all of you.

    \n

    You

    \n

    As always, your feedback and input is much appreciated, \r\n\r\nand is absolutely crucial in helping us make the app and your user experience better. You can reach us on Twitter at @WordPressiOS or on the WordPress for iOS Forums. And if \r\n\r\nyou find a new bug (no way!) please don’t hesitate to submit a new ticket in Trac.

    \r\n\r\n\n

    If you find that this version is an improvement over previous versions, we’d appreciate if you noted that in an App Store review. More \r\n\r\nthan any other metric, App Store reviews help to let us and our users know where the app stands in terms of quality, and what areas we need to focus \r\n\r\non in the future.

    \n

    Cheers!

    The most requested search item on this blog is “WordPress admin themes”. With variations of the various search \r\n\r\nterms, I would guess that we receive many hundreds of hits a day on just this blog from WordPress enthusiasts looking for themes to adorn \r\n\r\ntheir admin panel with. A simple search on Google reveals an old post from this blog listing 9 admin themes (I don’t link to it \r\n\r\nbecause most of the themes listed are dead or deprecated). Here is a list of nice admin themes that I can find, which are still being produced and \r\n\r\nregularly updated.

    \n\n

    Wait for it ….. thats it!! (that I could \r\n\r\nfind, please let us know if you know of others that are of high quality and updated regularly) There are various useful and popular tools to control \r\n\r\nand modify your admin interface such as Ozh’s Admin Drop \r\n\r\nDown Menu or the Adminimize Plugin, however no admin theme market has developed. \r\n\r\nThe initial momentum seems to have fizzled out. We feature hundreds of themes for your WordPress blog every month. I barely ever see one for the \r\n\r\nadmin side.

    \n

    It really sucks to know that there is such a demand for these, but no supply whatsoever. To encourage talented developers and \r\n\r\nfeed this need in the WordPress community, I would like to offer up our services for what they are worth. If you create, build and support a high \r\n\r\nquality admin theme (we decide what is high quality) for WordPress and release it under the GPL as appropriate, we will let you feature your admin \r\n\r\ntheme and your design services on this blog for our readers.

    WordPress 2.6 introduced a post revisions feature, which automatically saves a draft as \r\n\r\nyou begin to write a post or page and saves a revision for each change made afterwards. That’s right, every time you make even the slightest \r\n\r\nalteration to a post or page, a new revision is saved. Now don’t get me wrong, this is an incredibly useful feature, especially if you \r\n\r\naccidentally cut half of your post during a late night edit or lose power while composing your latest masterpiece, but these revisions can slowly \r\n\r\nbuild up in your database.

    \n

    If it’s been a few days since you’ve last edited your blog, chances are that you don’t need to \r\n\r\nkeep any revisions around, and they’re probably just siting in your database taking up space and growing cobwebs. To remove all of your \r\n\r\nrevisions safely without harming your published posts and pages, backup your database, then use either Delete-Revision or Better Delete Revision. If you’re handy with SQL queries, use either \r\n\r\nphpMyAdmin or the MySQL command line to run the following query (change the table prefix as necessary):

    \n

    DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE \r\n\r\npost_type = \"revision\"

    \n

    Update: Thanks to Ozh for pointing out that the above \r\n\r\nquery “just deletes post marked as revisions. If for some reason you associated a revision with a tag or a category that was then removed when \r\n\r\nthe final post was published, you will have extra entries in other tables such as terms.” The proper query to safely remove all of your \r\n\r\nrevisions is as follows (change the table prefix as necessary):

    \n

    DELETE a,b,c
    \nFROM wp_posts a
    \nLEFT JOIN \r\n\r\nwp_term_relationships b ON (a.ID = b.object_id)
    \nLEFT JOIN wp_postmeta c ON (a.ID = c.post_id)
    \nWHERE a.post_type = \r\n\r\n\'revision\'

    \n

    If you want to disable the revision system, add the following line to your wp-config.php file:

    \n

    define\r\n\r\n(\'WP_POST_REVISIONS\', false );

    \n

    If you want to specify the number of revisions that WordPress can save, add the following line to \r\n\r\nyour wp-config.php file (change the number to your desired maximum revision count):

    \n

    define(\'WP_POST_REVISIONS\', 3);

    \r\n\r\n\n

    As the revision system is a form of backup, I recommend periodically deleting revisions as opposed to disabling or limiting it.

    \n

    I ran \r\n\r\nthe above query on my blog for the first time last night and reduced the database size by almost half! How much did you save?

    Ricky asks:

    \n

    Thanks for your time. I’m working on a site where I’d like \r\n\r\nmembers to be able to submit posts, but I’d like to be able to moderate them first before they go live.

    \n

    Kinda similar to what WP can \r\n\r\ndo for comments, I’d like to do for posts. Is that possible?

    \n

    Certainly! What you want is to open up registration and make \r\n\r\nthe default role for new users “Contributor” instead of “Subscriber.” Contributors can submit posts for review, but not \r\n\r\npublish them. They’ll show up as “pending review” in the backend, and will require an Editor or Administrator to publish them. \r\n\r\nThere are even plugins available to facilitate posting from the front end, such as Gravity Forms ($39 and \r\n\r\nup, GPL).

    \n

    Allan asks:

    \n

    I have hit an incredibly frustrating hitch with WP, and that is getting a text file with the \r\n\r\ncontent of my posts. I need a single file I can load into page layout software. I know about Blog Booker and Blurb but would like more layout \r\n\r\ncontrol than those services offer.

    \n

    If you need this for a bunch of posts on an ongoing basis, I’d create a custom page template and just have it do query_posts\r\n\r\n(\'posts_per_page=9999\'); (or however many posts you want), and then do a basic loop. Look at a simple theme for inspiration on the template tags… it all depends on how you need it formatted.

    If you need this for a bunch \r\n\r\nof posts on an ongoing basis, I’d create a custom page \r\n\r\ntemplate and just have it do query_posts(\'posts_per_page=9999\'); (or however many posts you want), and then do a basic loop. Look \r\n\r\nat a simple theme for inspiration on the template tags… it all depends on how you need \r\n\r\nit formatted.

    \"ie9\"Microsoft recently released a public beta of their \r\n\r\nnewest web browser, IE9, that has quickly become very popular.  In its first 48 hours of availability it was  downloaded 2 million times.

    \r\n\r\n\n

    You know what that means – more users are visiting your WordPress site using IE9 everyday.

    \n

    So why not take advantage of a feature \r\n\r\nthat combines new capabilities in IE9 and the Windows 7 Taskbar to ask visitors to place a permanent link to your site on their Windows 7 Taskbar?\r\n\r\n

    \n

    Some real quick background.  On the Windows 7 Taskbar any icon that is placed there can be programmed by the software’s author to have \r\n\r\ninteractive menu items on what is called a Jumplist.  This Jumplist typically contains shortcuts to program features and commands to provide quick \r\n\r\naccess to them.

    \n

    Well with the introduction of IE9 webpages can have code added to them that will allow a visitor to drag the favicon to \r\n\r\ntheir taskbar and that code then adds an interactive Jumplist to the favicon as it sits on the users Windows 7 Taskbar to create those interactive \r\n\r\nfeatures.

    \n

    Well for those of us who use WordPress as our publishing platform we know that the easiest way to add features and functionality \r\n\r\nto our websites is through the use of plugins and the breadth of developers that are out there making them.

    \n

    Well you know it was only a \r\n\r\nmatter of time before the plugins started to be built to take advantage of these new features in IE9 and Windows 7.

    \n

    Let me introduce you to \r\n\r\nthe IE9 Pinned Site plugin by fatihboy.  This plugin is very fresh as it was published just yesterday for its initial \r\n\r\nrelease and it is his first WordPress plugin.

    \n

    So installation is straight forward like most plugins – just download it from the WordPress.org Plugin site and then activate it on your \r\n\r\nsite.

    \n

    You will find the simple one page settings page for this plugin under the Settings > IE9 Pinned Site menu item.

    \n

    \"ie9pinnedsitesettingsinwordpress\"

    \n

    Here you just select whether to feature your posts, categories or tags on the Jumplist for your website and how many entries you want \r\n\r\nof each.  Using those settings above this is what the Jumplist looks like for my site WindowsObserver.com:

    \n

    \n

    As you can see my most recent 5 posts are at the top followed by \r\n\r\nthe Tasks header which provides links to 5 of my website pages.

    \n

    An additional feature of Jumplists in Windows 7 on the taskbar is the \r\n\r\nability to pin things to them. 

    \n

    \n

    This is the same Jumplist except I have pinned one post \r\n\r\nwhich you see under the Pinned header.  Just click the pin icon while hovering over a Jumplist entry to pin that item to the Jumplist on your \r\n\r\nsystem.  The ability to pin a site on the Jumplist is in Windows 7 and its new Taskbar not in the plugin itself.

    \n

    I see a lot of potential \r\n\r\nfor this plugin for customization of the Jumplist such as the name of each header area, picking what entries you want on it as far as posts, tags \r\n\r\nand categories are concerned instead of just by a numerical number and allowing you to place something from each group on the Jumplist (i.e. \r\n\r\ncategories, tags and posts all being represented instead of just one).

    \n

    Don’t get me wrong this is a great initial implementation of this \r\n\r\ncapability and I am pleased once again that the strong community of developers has answered the need for this so quickly after the new features are \r\n\r\navailable in a new browser.

    \n

    What do you think?  Any suggestions for the author of the plugin for future updates?  Looking forward to \r\n\r\nhearing from you in the comments.

    There are many gallery plugins out there for WordPress, but did you know that WordPress \r\n\r\nhas had its own gallery system since the release of version 2.5 over two years ago?

    \n

    To get started with a native WordPress gallery, \r\n\r\nyou’ll need to create or edit the post or page that you want the gallery to appear in and then click the “Add an Image” \r\n\r\nbutton.

    \n

    \"add

    \n

    You can use this to upload all of your images at full \r\n\r\nsize and WordPress will automatically generate the various sizes (including thumbnails) for you. Now, it’s important to note that once you add \r\n\r\nan image via this method while writing or editing a post or page, it will be assigned to that specific post or page, which is how WordPress keeps \r\n\r\ntrack of the gallery’s content. Once you have uploaded all the desired images, click the “Add an Image” button again, select the \r\n\r\n“Gallery” tab, choose your desired settings, and click the “Insert Gallery” button at the bottom to add the gallery to your \r\n\r\npost or page.

    \n

    \"gallery

    \n

    If you like getting your hands dirty, there \r\n\r\nare few more settings that you can tweak by altering the gallery shortcode in the HTML \r\n\r\neditor tab.

    \n

    Once you have your gallery setup, there are plenty of good plugins to further enhance it, like jQuery Lightbox For Native Galleries.

    \n

    What do \r\n\r\nyou use to manage galleries on your blog?  If you use native WordPress galleries, what do you do to enhance them beyond their basic \r\n\r\nimplementation?

    One thing that I think is really important — that I think is context for this, is that I generally think that \r\n\r\nmost other companies now are undervaluing how important social integration is. So even the companies that are starting to come around to thinking, \r\n\r\n‘oh maybe we should do some social stuff’, I still think a lot of them are only thinking about it on a surface layer, where it’s like “OK, I \r\n\r\nhave my product, maybe I’ll add two or three social features and we’ll check that box”. That’s not what social is.

    \n

    Social – you \r\n\r\nhave to design it in from the ground up. These experiences, like what Zynga is doing or what a company like Quora is doing, I think that they have \r\n\r\njust a really good social integration. They’ve designed their whole product around the idea that your friends will be here with you. Everyone has \r\n\r\na real identity for themselves. And those are fundamental building blocks.

    Six Apart has been acquired by \r\n\r\nadvertising network VideoEgg and merged into the company’s rebrand as SAY Media.

    \n

    Six Apart is perhaps best known for their self-hosted blogging platform Movable Type and their hosted blogging service TypePad. Though SAY \r\n\r\nMedia will not discontinue these products, it remains to be seen how the advertising network will influence their future.

    \n

    A former power-\r\n\r\nhouse in the blogging industry, Movable Type’s popularity began to falter when Six Apart released version 3 in 2004 with more restrictive licensing. In fact, the Google Trends graphs for Movable Type and WordPress are almost inverse \r\n\r\nof each other, showing a steady decrease in Movable Type popularity and a steady increase in WordPress popularity beginning at roughly the same time \r\n\r\nas Movable Type 3′s release.

    \n

    If you’re unsure about the future of your Movable Type or TypePad blog, now is as good a time as \r\n\r\nany to move to WordPress as your new self-hosted blogging platform or WordPress.com as your new hosted blogging service. After either installing WordPress or signing up with \r\n\r\nWordPress.com, go to Tools/Import in your admin panel and select “Movable Type and TypePad.”

    \n

    What’s your take on this \r\n\r\nacquisition? Is Six Apart’s legacy safe in the hands of SAY Media (formerly VideoEgg)?
