Displaying 1 To 5 Of 5 Comments Six Revisions On Missing Features In WordPress Search is definitely the main thing that needs improvement. Everything else I think would be best handled by plugins (and in some cases already is). I agree that the default WordPress pagination options are rather limited but I think that enhancing this with a plugin (and there are some decent ones already out there) is the better way to go. That said, most of the paging options out there require you to tweak your template files so that you can display numbered pagination instead of previous/next. This is usually because the 2 previous/next functions need to be replaced with a single pagination function to provided numbered paging. It would be good to remove this barrier for non-developer users somehow. Maybe it is already possible to do this with the current hooks but I have not seen an example of this or looked into it. » Posted By Ben Huson On July 2, 2010 @ 12:29 PM As a developer a love how powerful WordPress is – I can create completely custom themes, and plugins to do anything from outputting a bit of text to turning WordPress in a fully featured web application. …and I also love the simplicity. Why? Because it gives my clients to power to publish content with little or no technical knowledge. If a sidebar widget helps them display an image without having to type any HTML, that’s great. ;) I can focus on what I’m good at, my clients can focus on what they’re good at. I agree that there is a certain amount of responsibility for running your own self-hosted WordPress installation that may require some technical know-how and awareness, and I think this is something that new WordPress.org users should be aware of before diving in head first. But for the likes of myself who creates and manages web sites for people, the combined power and simplicity of WordPress.org is a great solution. » Posted By Ben Huson On October 22, 2009 @ 5:08 AM The important thing is: 1. It was noticed Let’s not forget, although this bug was annoying, it did not expose your database or files to any vulnerability. » Posted By Ben Huson On August 12, 2009 @ 8:36 AM Taking Out The WordPress Trash Your suggestion of “One trash can to rule them all” fits in with the way most of us are used to dealing with deleting documents on our computers – or I guess the Recycle Bin on a PC (although I hate the term Recycle Bin). However, I think the way WordPress is currently doing it at an object level is slightly tidier and fits in with the All | Published | Drafts | Deleted way of navigating the admin. If I delete a comment by accident, I can stay within the comments section to restore it. Notice, I used the word ‘Deleted’ as I prefer this to Trash. When you delete something it is usually because you DO want to delete it forever. The ‘Trash’ functionality is a safety net in case you realise you have made a wrong decision. Ideally you should very rarely need to go in there to restore anything. Then if you do need to go into the ‘Deleted’ view the options are to ‘Restore’ or ‘Delete Permanently’. If you were to have an overall Trash bin section where everything goes, it would probably have to live as a new main menu on the left and I would prefer not to clutter this navigation any further. I’m sure it would be easy enough to create a plugin to collect all deleted items into a delete section if you prefer? Oh, and I guess someone would have to design a nice Trash Bin icon if it was a new section? :) » Posted By Ben Huson On August 5, 2009 @ 2:14 PM WordPress Dev Chat For 7-30-09 I’ve noticed quite a few web hosts provide both PHP4 and PHP5 in their hosting packages but that they default to running in PHP4 unless you you specify it to use PHP5 in your control panel or .htaccess file, for example with 1&1 you have to add: AddType x-mapp-php5 .php So, I guess if some hosts are running PHP4 as default, this might account for the high percentage of PHP4 WordPress installs. I wonder with the “nag page” idea wether people should be reminded that they may be able to configure their web hosted to run PHP5, and that is is often a very easy process. » Posted By Ben Huson On August 7, 2009 @ 4:38 AMComments Posted By Ben Huson
