[...] Im Krieg WordPress gegen Tumblr wird neues Öl in die Fritteuse gegossen. Post-Formate sind ein sehr eleganter Weg, Inhalte unterschiedlich und ein wenig dedizierter zu gestalten. Nun ist es ein leichtes, Chats, Videos, Artikel oder Bildbeiträge jeweils individuell zu gestalten. Einen tollen Artikel über Post types, formats und taxonomies gibt es hier bei Otto. [...]

Comment on New in WordPress 3.3: More Useful Help Screens by Randy

Might also be worth mentioning that you can clear an existing help tab’s content with:
remove_help_tab( ‘the_id_to_remove’ );

and you can clear ALL help tabs on a page with:
remove_help_tabs(); (no args)

The latter was the only way I could find to completely overwrite default contextual help.

Hi, I’m using latest versions of Yourls and WP, I also installed this great plugin, and it works, but something is wrong, coz then I crete a post in my blog it isn’t tweeted but the link is automatically made in my YOURLS without any problem.

In the plugin configuration all windows are green (looks like OK!) and I checked a lof of times the manual. WP says that connection to my tweeter is correct.

Any idea ?

Thanks

Comment on Customizing WordPress Images with a Plugin: ImageFX by Philip

Hi Otto, great plugin, One thing though. After I activated it, when i upload pdf files i get errors. I know that this pluggin checks for file extension and works only with JPG images, but it seems that it affects not only images, but other files too. Could you tell me where to add a line testing if uploaded file is an image?

ps. i had some trouble figuring out how to manage slugs in this plugin. Maybe some explanation in readme.txt would make life easier for others?

IMPORTANT: I just realized the “Screen Option” was on Upper Right of my screen, within Edit Page or Edit Post. And “Discussions” is the Option where you can Allow/Disallow Comments.

THIS IS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU OTTO.

In reference to: So all of you thinking of a custom “Podcast” post type, you’re in for a disappointment The soon to be released PowerPress 3.0 will allow you to associate a PowerPress Podcast Channel to a Custom Post Type. It is a very powerful feature for anyone wanting to podcast with custom post types.

Comment on Simple Twitter Connect by dreas

I had to wrap all classes in OAuth.php and twitterOAuth.php with

if(!class_exists(‘CLASSNAME’)) :
…
endif;

to make it error message disappear. It then worked after disabling a similar plugin.

Reasons to Pick WordPress vs. Drupal — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:47:09 +0000

[...] Since WordPress grew up as a blog they hardcoded the URL routing logic which has resulted in some rather odious limitations in how you can design your URLS. Drupal’s URL management is no panacea either — you can end up with a difficult to maintain [...]
