Mark Jaquith recently performed a scan on a local copy of the WordPress plugin respository and was able to generate a list of basic quoted string shortcodes within the plugins. The list looks like it could go to the moon and back with some funky looking shortcodes that are not very descriptive. Mark notes that there has been some discussion on whether or a not, a directory should be built and published which notes all of the shortcodes in use from all plugins in the repository so that plugin authors can check and see if their own shortcodes would conflict with any other plugins or perhaps, make theirs compatible with another.
While I don’t dabble in as nearly as many plugins these days, I can say that I’ve never gone through the experience of dealing with a shortcode conflict. If you have, I’d love to hear your story.

Community member Kim Parsell recently sent me an email that contained a link to a post she found which describes the exact same problem I was having with the Filosofo Comment Preview plugin. Each time I activated the plugin on this blog, I received an error similar to this:
Call to undefined function get_currentuserinfo()…
While doing research on the error, I found out it had something to do with pluggable.php. So, I uploaded a fresh pluggable.php file from a fresh WordPress 2.7 installation and that didn’t work. I ended up just leaving the plugin disabled and was going to work on it on my local server until Kim sent me this email.
Saphod.com publishes a block of code which you can add to the comment preview plugin which should enable both plugins to be activated at the same time. As for myself, I simply disabled Maintenance Mode as I don’t have a need for it since the site is now open to the public.
