Plaintext WordPress plugin version 1.4

I have updated my Plaintext WordPress plugin to version 1.4. Plaintext allows you to distribute web source code (such as PHP or HTML) as plain text files, without being processed by your web server. This makes it easier for users to download your code. This new version has two important new features:

Evermore WordPress plugin version 2

I have finally released the next generation of Evermore, my WordPress plugin for automatically displaying post previews on your homepage. Version 2 (formerly known as “More Evermore”) behaves very much like version 1 by default, but its behaviour can be adjusted through the new Options page.
The most exciting option is the ability to display more [...]

Evermore WordPress plugin version 1.0.1

I have updated Evermore, my WordPress plugin for automatically displaying just the first paragraph of posts on your homepage. I fixed an obscure problem that could cause Evermore to misbehave if a post contained a line break in its first paragraph.
And I hope shortly to bow to popular demand and release Evermore’s sequel, More Evermore. [...]

Code Markup WordPress plugin version 1.1

My Code Markup WordPress plugin has been updated to version 1.1. Code Markup makes it easy to include program code samples in your posts. You can even include HTML markup in the code sample; Code Markup magically knows which characters should be displayed as code and which should be rendered as HTML. This new [...]

Search Meter WordPress plugin updated

I have updated my Search Meter WordPress plugin, based on feedback from its many thousands of satisfied users. (That figure is an estimate based on the half-dozen users that I actually know about.) The new version has the following new features.

Plaintext: a WordPress plugin

When you click one of my PHP code download links (for example, the Less WordPress plugin), you see the PHP source code on your screen, even though the file is a .php file. How do I stop the server executing the PHP code? With a WordPress plugin, of course.

Popularity Contest for Pages

I’ve been enjoying Alex King’s excellent Popularity Contest plugin for several weeks now. It’s fascinating to see which posts are being viewed, commented, tracked and pinged, all through the one interface. After using it for a while, I thought of a useful way to extend it and also found and fixed a wee problem. Perhaps [...]

Search Meter: a WordPress plugin

I have released Search Meter, a new WordPress plugin that should help you keep your blog focused on what your visitors want to read. It does this by keeping track of what your visitors are searching for, and more importantly whether they are finding it.

WordPress pingback and trackback bug

There is a bug in the way WordPress 1.5.1 handles draft posts and Advanced Editing mode. One effect of this is that pingbacks and trackbacks are sometimes sent with the wrong URL. This problem has been around for a while, but it looked a bit complicated so I figured that somebody would fix it one [...]
