Displaying 151 To 180 Of 718 Comments Thesis Goes Split Licensed – Hell Freezes Over @Rarst – Well, Chris reputation was damaged long before anything such as a scandal ever took place and I still don’t think Matt launched any scandals against Chris or any other individual. I don’t see you as a menace but as part of a contingent that represents the other side of the argument. » Posted By Jeffro On July 23, 2010 @ 2:52 AM @Rarst – You keep mentioning the word scandals. What do you mean by scandals? » Posted By Jeffro On July 23, 2010 @ 2:37 AM @Rarst – Well, having an opinion should not be a grave offense. After all, everyone has one. So to be clear, I think you’re upset because I failed to indicate that Matt is just as bad as Chris when it comes to doing wrong in the WordPress community? » Posted By Jeffro On July 23, 2010 @ 2:12 AM @AJ – I’ll agree with anyone that says mudslinging happened from both sides in the interview, Matt did go low a few times but he did a good job keeping his composure. As for the split license, what it does is make thesis legal and until now, that has been the biggest contention of debate. This allows the community to move along to the next thing. What it doesn’t do is allow Thesis to be featured on the GPL commercial themes page because they are not “100%” GPL which means PHP plus the Images and CSS all fall under the GPL. Chris couldn’t give two shits about that and as evidenced by the tweet, he couldn’t give two shits about the split license either. » Posted By Jeffro On July 23, 2010 @ 2:09 AM @Mark. – But don’t make it sound like the whole community is being stood over with a big stick and every developer who wants to venture forth and cut his or her own path is going to eventually fall victim to a similar fate. What does that mean? » Posted By Jeffro On July 23, 2010 @ 1:52 AM @Rarst – Scandal? How do you figure? » Posted By Jeffro On July 23, 2010 @ 1:23 AM What Would You Do With WP-Hackers.com? @Conorp – And there is also http://www.wprecipes.com/ which is pretty much what I described :) » Posted By Jeffro On July 22, 2010 @ 12:59 AM @Doug Stewart – lol is that a hint? » Posted By Jeffro On July 22, 2010 @ 2:25 AM I’ve been able to determine that the comment was spoofed and is not from Matt so I’ve edited the comment to change the comment author to Not Matt. » Posted By Jeffro On July 18, 2010 @ 3:24 AM Automatically Correcting The WordPress Mistake @Ipstenu – And that is at least one crux of the matter, Choice. In this instance, if you are running WordPress 3.0, and you type WordPress, the software corrects it for you with NO choice. To get that choice back for that particular word, you are told to go into the code and remove the filter or install a plugin. All of this is really unnecessary, everything else thrown aside. » Posted By Jeffro On July 6, 2010 @ 4:51 PM @Justin Tadlock – Ouch. I correct those lol. Bit ironic. » Posted By Jeffro On July 6, 2010 @ 2:47 PM VideoPress Undergoes Major Update @Carl Hancock – Yeah. I think they are working on it but they needed to get this new framework done first. It will be nice to see VideoPress videos play just fine on my iPhone. » Posted By Jeffro On July 1, 2010 @ 10:56 AM Six Revisions On Missing Features In WordPress @Otto – I’m pretty much in full agreement with you. » Posted By Jeffro On July 1, 2010 @ 10:44 AM 14 Things To Consider When Choosing A Webhost For Your WordPress Powered Site @matt mcinvale – Well, that’s a damn shame but this is the first I’ve heard of the BBB being a scam. Do you know of any other concrete investigations into the BBB? » Posted By Jeffro On June 30, 2010 @ 1:01 PM Special WPTavern Only PluginBuddy Sale Thank you all for pointing out the error in this article and my sincere apologies if that error is what spurred your purchase. I’ve since corrected the article. The damage has been minimal since only about 4 purchases have gone through this link. » Posted By Jeffro On June 29, 2010 @ 3:41 PM Should The WordPress Support Forum Only Support Themes From The Theme Repository? Thank you all for chiming in with your responses, obviously this post has touched a nerve :). After discussion here and within the forum thread in the Tavern forum, I’ve learned that there is no such thing as piracy with GPL licensed themes. As for the support of commercial themes. My initial thinking was that by providing a little more regulation, there would be 0 support offered at the WordPress support forums for commercial themes and instead, support for commercial themes would be given in the proper location (normally where they purchased the theme). But after these discussions, I’ve learned that more regulation would do more harm than good. Most of the people within the WordPress community will take the high road when volunteering support and mention that perhaps their query would be better handled at (commercial theme support area) rather than on the forum but if they could, would provide support where possible. It’s better to give someone the benefit of the doubt then assume everyone with a commercial theme asking for support on the forums is circumventing the paywall for support. As for the decoding of themes, I think that entire process should be discontinued. Instead, there should be a well written blanket statement that can be given to these people that explains why having an encrypted theme is bad business. The support forum already has the article in place that mentions why it’s bad but the process of decoding themes is still allowed. This whole conversation now has me wondering about something else. If regulation such as what i proposed would have been more harmful than good, I wonder under which circumstances more regulation within an open source project is good. What needs regulation and what doesn’t? Perhaps fodder for another post. » Posted By Jeffro On June 29, 2010 @ 3:52 PM WordPress Support Forum And Themes @_ck_ – No one has ever provided me a GOOD reason to use EVAL in a theme or plugin. Does a good reason exist? » Posted By Jeffro On June 26, 2010 @ 2:23 AM What To Do Or Consider After You Enable Multisite In WordPress Hah, maybe you two will actually grab a beer at a REAL tavern :) I’ve also edited the post » Posted By Jeffro On June 26, 2010 @ 1:16 AM @Jeffro – Replying to myself to see what it looks like » Posted By Jeffro On June 26, 2010 @ 1:09 AM @Joe – You’re right, the WYSIWYG editor doesn’t work for text widgets. That would be a good featured to have since there is not one available in the back end of WordPress either. » Posted By Jeffro On June 26, 2010 @ 12:08 AM WordPress.Net.IN Taken Offline @Chip Bennett – But I think it’s worth mentioning that at the time, Matt tried to take care of the domain. However, the attempts failed which is where some people could argue that he should have kept trying. I imagine he started focusing on other things but fast forward to today, it’s probably a little easier to work with domain registrars to get domains taken offline due to trademark infringement. I mean, he contacted someone at GoDaddy and now the domain is suspended/offline. Since I know Matt is a smart guy and understands the need to protect the trademark and he is human like everyone else, I think Michaels priority points in his article are Meh. » Posted By Jeffro On June 8, 2010 @ 2:08 PM WPWeekly Episode 100 – The Century Mark I’ve sent the necessary information to those who donated prizes of who the winners are. Keep an eye on your inbox for more details everyone. » Posted By Jeffro On June 14, 2010 @ 12:24 PM WordPress Weekly And The 100th Episode @Joachim Kudish – Wait until I publish the show notes for episode 100 » Posted By Jeffro On June 5, 2010 @ 5:48 PM @Stephanie Leary – Yeah, I think everyone will be happy with this change or addition. Thanks for the prize donations by the way. » Posted By Jeffro On June 4, 2010 @ 4:49 PM Otto To Head The WordPress.org Redesign @Dan Cole – I don’t know the answers to any of those questions. Otto has stated that he is very much still in the planning phases and once there is a known direction to go, he’ll be publishing it in the right places for people to help out or relay feedback » Posted By Jeffro On June 4, 2010 @ 3:53 PM WooThemes Has And Will Continue To Get Credit I was going to respond to all the comments here but instead, I’ve written a post and published it on Weblogtoolscollection.com, feel free to leave a comment or two on that post. http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2010/06/03/wordpress-and-giving-credit/ » Posted By Jeffro On June 3, 2010 @ 5:24 PM Justin Tadlock On Menus In WP 3.0 @matt mcinvale – It will be interesting to see how theme authors or plugin authors for that matter build on the new menu system. » Posted By Jeffro On June 3, 2010 @ 5:29 PM Review Of Beeline – I’m Buzzed Off @Michael Fields – It’s worth noting that you can browse the search results and such through the widget which prevents them from actually leaving your website. So that’s a non issue. » Posted By Jeffro On June 7, 2010 @ 3:30 AM Review Of WhiteHousePro3 By PageLines Good catch Ryan lol. I ended up editing the post. » Posted By Jeffro On June 3, 2010 @ 5:30 PM Forum VIP Membership Now Available Thanks for the support everyone. The VIP section is a work in progress.
