Plugins Compatible With WP 2.3

I have updated this site to WordPress 2.3 Beta 1 as well as ALL my plugins to be compatible with WordPress 2.3. All the plugins are running live on this site. If you find any bugs, kindly do let me know by posting it in the forum.

I will be releasing the updated plugins (except WP-WAP and WP-ServerInfo) after WordPress 2.3 is officially released.

After doing some reviewing, most of my plugins will be able to work on WP 2.1 and above (including WP 2.3) except for WP-Stats 2.20 where you need to have at least WP 2.3.

All the plugins version listed below is the upcoming version and NOT the current version (except for WP-Stats 2.11).

Plugins that will work for 2.1.x and above (including WP 2.3)

  • WP-Ban 1.20
  • WP-DBManager 2.20
  • WP-PageNavi 2.20
  • WP-PluginsUsed 1.00
  • WP-RelativeDate 1.20
  • WP-ServerInfo 1.00
  • WP-WP-WAP 2.10

Plugins that will work for 2.1.x and above (including WP 2.3) 1 BUT will break WP-Stats 2.11

  • WP-DownloadManager 1.00
  • WP-Polls 2.21
  • WP-PostRatings 1.20
  • WP-PostViews 1.20
  • WP-Sticky 1.10
  • WP-Useronline 2.20

1 As the whole structure of WP-Stats had changed, any plugin version prior to the individual version stated above will break WP-Stats 2.11. The only solution to this, is to upgrade WordPress to 2.3, WP-Stats to 2.20 and the respective plugins to the version stated above. If you are not using WP-Stats, you can just ignore this.

Plugins that will work for 2.3 Only

  • WP-EMail 2.20
  • WP-Print 2.20
  • WP-Stats 2.20

WordPress 2.7 Beta 1

WordPress 2.7 Beta 1 has been released. I am going to test it with both the current version as well as the upcoming version to see if it works.

Also, the development of WordPress 2.7 is 2 weeks behind and hence 10th November will not be the release date for the final version, but rather a release candidate. The final version is expected to be at the end of November 2008.

Speaking of the final release, it will not be available on November 10th as originally scheduled. We are two weeks behind schedule at the moment. We need a little more time to finish the visual design, do a round of user testing against that finished design, and do a proper round of public beta testing. Our plan is to keep working as if Nov. 10 is still the release date. However, instead of releasing the final 2.7 on the 10th, we will make a release candidate available instead. The release candidate is intended to be a high-quality, almost-finished release that we are comfortable recommending for broad use. After Nov. 10, the focus will be on fixing high impact bugs turned up by those of you testing the release candidate. I suspect 2.7 will be ready for final release by the end of November. A specific date will be set as we progress through the public beta cycle and get a feel for how solid the release is.

WordPress 2.5 RC 1

The time I have been waiting for to test my plugins on WP 2.5 is finally here.

Some features in WordPress 2.5 taken from WordPress.org:

A customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times.

Do take a look at WordPress.org’s blogSneak Peak on WordPress 2.5.

Download: WordPress 2.5 Release Candidate 1

*UPDATE* Just updated this site to WordPress 2.5 RC1, apparently all my plugins seems to be working fine. Just that some alignment and colour scheme maybe a little off. I will try to fix it latest during my summer holidays.

WordPress 2.6.1

WordPress 2.6.1 has been released and it is a very minor release. Not security flaws has been found and hence WordPress 2.6.1 is not a security fix so if you are comfortable with WordPress 2.6 like me, you don’t have to upgrade.

2.6.1 offers several improvements for international users. Styling of the admin for right-to-left languages is much improved thanks to the efforts of the Farsi and Hebrew translation teams, and a mysterious gettext bug caused by certain PHP configurations is now fixed. For IIS users, 2.6.1 fixes several permalink problems. Image insertion problems in the Press This feature experienced by IE users are also fixed. Of note to everyone is a fix for a performance bug in the admin where those with a lot of plugins would experience slowness on some pages.

I am so looking forward to WordPress 2.7 as lots of features which are available as plugin will be built into the core.

Download WordPress 2.6.1

*UPDATE* I decided to upgrade to stopped the nagging upgrading message to appear.
