K2 Style Switcher

Recently I started porting my sites from Wordpress to Wordpress Multi User (WPMU). It’s brilliant if you manage more than one blog, I now don’t have to spend a day FTP’ing every time a new version of WP is released! I took the opportunity to upgrade K2 and implement the K2 Style Switcher plugin which you can see in action in the sidebar. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come out of the box with WPMU support, so I made the necessary changes. The modified plugin can be downloaded here. This version will work with both vanilla Wordpress and WPMU, enjoy. :)

Update: I am now working together with Kimya Hasira (the original author) on the development of this plugin as described here. It has found a new permanent home on this site. Check out the page for information about the plugin.

Twitter Tools for Wordpress 2.3

I recently started fiddling around with Twitter and was pleased to find a plugin called Twitter Tools by Alex King that integrates your tweets with your blog and tweets when you post to the blog. Unfortunately it doesn’t work with the Wordpress 2.3 taxonomy, but never one to be put off that easily I’ve modified the the code to suit the new DB structure. You can see it in action in my sidebar. Download the code hereUpdate: Looks like Alex has fixed the bug in the main version, check out his site.

Extended Live Archives fixed for Wordpress 2.3

If like me you rather like the Sons of Skadi Extended Live Archive (ELA) plugin, you will have been dismayed to find that as soon as you upgraded your blog to Wordpress 2.3 it promptly fell over. Pages full of MySQL errors when posting, all sorts of badness. Turns out that when the database structure changed for version 2.3 the catagories table amongst others was removed. Unfortunately ELA relied heavily on this so badness abounded. Luckily a bit of digging around revealed this patch which fixes the problem nicely. Overwrite the files, clear the cache and update your options then it’s archivetastic one again :)
