Displaying 1 To 27 Of 27 Comments Removing The Browser Nag Bar In WordPress Can’t you just uncheck the Browser out of date thing under Screen Options on the dashboard? Why a plugin? » Posted By Kel On December 6, 2011 @ 2:57 PM Six Revisions On Missing Features In WordPress Gotta agree… but I had to add a comment over there about caching. Meh. :) » Posted By Kel On July 1, 2010 @ 2:16 PM Use The Media Library Or Hand Code? Other benefits to using the Media Library include the possibility of Related Results (images), a way to see which media is linked to a specific Post(s) or Pages(s). I’m not sure you’re going to auto-magically get these benefits by hand linking. » Posted By Kel On April 19, 2010 @ 4:49 PM Did I miss something? While Backupify does offer backups for tons of other social media / networking sites, I’m not sure it does quite as good a job as something like http://www.wordpressbackup.org/ because as far as I can tell, it’s only backing up the database, but none of the other important things like the media, plugins etc. WordPressBackup backs up the Entire site. » Posted By Kel On February 16, 2010 @ 8:43 PM @Leland – Agreed. TweetPress is doing some interesting things (for free too), but it’s probably a bit over the top to mimic EVERY detail of twitter. Moving along… what about all the other Clone themes? The bottom line appears to be how _closely_ the theme has borrowed from the original. Pablo Picasso was rumored to have said something like, “Good Artists Borrow, Great Artists Steal” – Of course I think someone else actually said it and he simply “borrowed” it :) » Posted By Kel On February 1, 2010 @ 5:10 PM @Jeffro – I dunno, I s’pose we’ll find out sooner than later. But for now, it is kindof a neat trick to make my WP powered site match my Twitter page. Time will tell. » Posted By Kel On February 1, 2010 @ 3:54 PM While the original story cites “Cloned” themes, the specific example, TweetPress, isn’t cloning Twitter per se. As I understand it, the theme is simply calling twitter’s API to go get the specific elements allowed via the API and then build a theme that mimics the user’s twitter page – for use as a WP theme. I think people, including the author, (read the comments – http://www.themelab.com/2010/01/31/wordpress-clone-themes-your-take/#comment-11978 ) Leland, originally missed what the theme was really doing. As for the rest of the “cloned” themes mimicing other sites like FB, YT etc – that’s a whole other story. :) » Posted By Kel On February 1, 2010 @ 3:52 PM HookPress – Seems Like A Great Idea Looks very cool – Let’s hope this can’t easily be used for evil. Not sure of the implications as HookPress can make calls on WP native, PHP, Python scripts etc etc.. Assume the WP nonce stuff stops any bad stuff? We’ve already seen crafty URLs doing annoying stuff to our passwords. Of course it’s also nice to see him using BBedit :) » Posted By Kel On August 31, 2009 @ 12:26 PM Review Of Advanced Exporter For WP/WPMU @Jeffro – Right. Except that Links are important enough to actually be in Core – just not important enough to import/export. Odd. » Posted By Kel On October 13, 2009 @ 6:41 PM Yes – looks great. But why exactly is it that the default WP install (and Advanced Exporter) do not export Links and Link Categories? Or am I missing something here? » Posted By Kel On October 13, 2009 @ 4:48 PM WordPress Dev Chat For 7-30-09 Ah.. the Dev Chat LOG. I thought this was a missed schedule :) » Posted By Kel On August 3, 2009 @ 11:24 AM The Crossing Paths Of Drupal And WordPress Also interesting is the paths Drupal has gone through for the upcoming Drupal 7. Mark Boulton and Co. have done an incredible job with redoing alot of the UX – You can watch it happen here (on a WordPress powered blog – ahem) http://www.d7ux.org – Drupal 7 User Experience Project. Here’s an screenshot of the work in progress. » Posted By Kel On July 23, 2009 @ 10:07 PM Gee, I hope that bit about the htaccess was from my tweet to you ;-) » Posted By Kel On April 27, 2009 @ 8:06 PM WP Framework Now On The Repository Yep – Ptah’s up against/with some good stuff. But at least he’s been on the WP Theme Framework page for a while. The best thing is how much cleaner the frameworks have gotten, imo. Of course it’ll all change again once css3 and html5 come out of hiding. ;-) » Posted By Kel On April 20, 2009 @ 9:18 PM First Look At New Widget Interface Follow-up… Actually I just pulled the 2.8 update in and I see the Widgets function somewhat similarly to what I’ve described. The style/graphics that allow the widgetable areas to “roll up” appears incomplete for the moment, but it’s certainly getting there. And… it appears as though all this Ajaxy goodness has made it possible that we no longer need to Save each time we add/edit a widget – Yay! » Posted By Kel On April 13, 2009 @ 11:46 AM I mentioned this on WPEngineer, I’d love to see a way to list all widgetable areas that already have widgets installed. WP “knows” which ones are active/inactive, so there must be a simple way to make the UI show there are “X” number of active widgets in “”X” sidebar area/s. If my theme had 3 widgetable areas (Sidebar, Bottom and Top) and I added 2 widgets to the Sidebar, 3 to the Bottom and 0 to the Top, I’d expect to see something like: * Sidebar (edit) – 2 and we don’t show the Top at all since it’s empty. * Sidebar (edit) – 2 » Posted By Kel On April 13, 2009 @ 10:57 AM Yeah – this plugin is usually one of my faves. Others out there are somewhat overkill IMHO. One of the other nince things that Contact Form 7 supports is decent styling of elements via CSS classes. » Posted By Kel On April 7, 2009 @ 12:39 PM Is this a trick question? Define “software”… WordPress.com uses WordPress, I think ;-) and I think JamieO meant KnowNow, not Know How. » Posted By Kel On April 6, 2009 @ 7:08 PM Joomla Against Drupal Against WordPress @Brad - » Posted By Kel On March 18, 2009 @ 5:29 PM In the past we’d spent probably 10-15 percent of the time or budget modifying the back end of whatever CMS (WordPress, Drupal, ExpressionEngine etc) we were using so the client could understand it. Often we’d have to write up documentation on what was where and how to access specific content. Now it’s simpler since most CMS’s have roles and making changes to the admin UI is usually straightfoward. I wonder how much time Matt and the others had devoted to making the back end “Marybeth-Friendly®”. I also wonder if Marybeth was interviewed after 2 days of using each CMS, which she’d ultimately prefer. » Posted By kel On March 18, 2009 @ 1:08 AM WPDesigner Breathes And Then Dies Hah hah… it’s probably just a future scheduled post that came alive ;-) But why pass up a chance at extra $ affiliate bucks eh? » Posted By Kel On February 25, 2009 @ 10:29 PM WordPress 2.7.1 Available To The Public @Jeffro - » Posted By Kel On February 10, 2009 @ 7:19 PM Meh – just moments later I realized all the blogs I need to update :P Of course I’ve already updated my personal/family blog – only seconds later and it’s running 2.7.1 and all seems good. Let’s see Jeff, how long will it take you, as I see WPTavern is still on 2.7 – c’mon get with the times – it’s been almost an hour :-) » Posted By Kel On February 10, 2009 @ 6:46 PM index.php file in the plugins folder makes the Dashboard fail
That one kicked my butt a few times. I had a few old installs of WP where I’d added blank index.php files in my attempts of plugins etc, instead of using htacess foo and viola – toasted WP – usually the /wp-admin would just go blank, but all other admin urls worked fine. » Posted By kel On February 6, 2009 @ 9:35 PM Live Stream Of New Jersey WP Meetup (Hmm – tab order on this comment form is very odd) Sorry NJWPMU folks – missed this one and thought something was wonky at uStream. Hope to see it soon. Thanks! » Posted By Kel On February 4, 2009 @ 9:32 PM The Bittersweet Taste Of Bleeding Edge Software also – I like the overall dark design here on WPTavern – might want to add some padding in the comments though. » Posted By kel On January 28, 2009 @ 9:03 PM Yes – now toss in beta jQuery, CSS3, and a touch of conditionals via XSI and then you’re talking “leading, bleeding razor’s edge” software. It’s all good if you really want to (and can) devote that time to a project (or have a client willing to play/pay along) just in time to find out that they missed a launch deadline. But what happens if there’s a truly serious security flaw or something that wipes database info for example? For me, I’ve always got some sandbox playground to learn what’s going on with new tech etc – but I’m always cautious to test the “leading bleeding” on paying client work. Let’s see more post of what you’ve learned – both in software and lessons :) » Posted By kel On January 28, 2009 @ 9:02 PMComments Posted By kel
Still, Backupify handling other things like tweets, delicious, google docs IS pretty cool!
eg,
* Facebook – http://demos.foxinni.com/
(I think Justin Tadlock even did a fB inspired theme)
* WooThemes – Gazette – ala CNN
* http://www.wpzoom.com/design/15-great-examples-of-cloned-wordpress-themes/

* Bottom (edit) – 3
Or maybe …
* Bottom (edit) – 3
* Top (add)
WPMU is based on WordPress right?
Hah hah.. that’s why Ma.tt is optimizing the “bazillion” lines of code. They should count themselves lucky that only needed 1,808 instead of the full bazillion.
Heh – yeah, me too. Half of the sites I want to update are still on “alternate hemisphere” time apparently. Dashboard RSS feeds from Automattic tell the news, but the core update pinger ain’t singin.
