My Plugins Compatibility With WordPress 2.5

Actually…I take back the image verification part of my previous post.

I was very disappointed to see that the WP-Email plugin is not suited for the WordPress 2.5 upgrade. Therefore I did a little research. I may have found a solution that allows me to email without a problem on one of my sites I’m still developing. Yet, since it is still in the development stage, I thought I would share the info with you and see what you think…

When I tried to run the plugin it kept saying that there was an undefined function in the “add_shortcode” just under the notes “### Function: Short Code For Inserting Email Links Into Posts/Pages.” I deleted that line and then uploaded the wp-email.php file.

Also, I was reading the Migration page at http://codex.wordpress.org/Migrating_Plugins_and_Themes#Migrating_from_2.3_to_2.5 and noticing that under the Admin screens there is a bit of code that I added to the Email Administration Menu that is needed for WordPress 2.5. I added:

if (function_exists(‘add_meta_box’)) {
// 2.5 logic, calling add_meta_box to define the screen
} else {
// 2.3 logic, calling add_action( ‘dbx_post_advanced’ ) or similar
}

the Administration Menu and it seems to work.

Finally, I noticed that the image verification only works if you type lowercase letters even though they are capitalized in the picture. Otherwise I get an “instantiate” error. Well I hope this helps someone.
