Not too long ago, a new plugin was released called WP-Crontrol. WP-Crontrol allows you to take control over what is happening in the WP-Cron system. WP-Cron is a tangle of black magic that allows a plugin developer or a user to schedule commands to be executed. WP-Crontrol is a plugin that lets a blog owner see through that magic and figure out what’s actually going on If you want a detailed introduction to this plugin as well as an explanation as to how to use this plugin in conjunction with WP Database Backup to create backups when you want them, be sure to check out this article: Add a new WordPress backup schedule with WP-Crontrol Also on the radar today is a quick fix for the WordPress 2.5.x image uploader.

[Continue Reading...]Woopra was opened up to the world at the Dallas WordCamp where I met John for the first time. His talk was not on Woopra but he introduced it to the event in a very short, three minute spiel. Since then Woopra has generated a tremendous amount of buzz in blogging circles. In short, Woopra is a stats tool for websites that lives as an application on your desktop (among other places) and can provide live webstats on your visitors. I like it since it is fast and since the developers gave me an opportunity to look at the insides early on, I have developed quite a fondness for it. They are in growth mode and with the recent upgrade to their desktop client, they can support more locations and are in the process of approving a large number of new users for their service. All of that being said, […]
[Continue Reading...]For those of you who have recently browsed to the website that the popular PodPress plugin calls home, you’ll notice that the site is gone and has been replaced by a parked GoDaddy domain page. This GoDaddy parked page has already sent many people into a frenzy. As I’ve monitored my Twitter stream, many folks were already started to think that PodPress may have up and folded for greener pastures. There have also been a forum post or two discussing the possible demise of the PodPress project. I’ve recently got in contact with the author of PodPress and I have excellent news. The GoDaddy page is the result of a domain registration snafu. The site should be back online either as you read this, or within the next few hours. While talking with Mightyseek, I learned that the new version of PodPress is almost ready for release. The next version […]
[Continue Reading...]Just the other day, I ran into a problem. I deleted a number of categories on my blog and since WordPress does not give you the option of reassigning the posts within those categories to another category, all of those posts were reassigned to Uncategorized. The answer to this problem? Batch Categories. Batch Categories is a WordPress plugin written by Rob Miller that adds some powerful functionality into the default WordPress category editor. With Batch Categories, you can reassign a number of posts to a category, remove a number of posts from a category, edit the tagging structure, and so much more. Batch Categories also includes a number of enhanced post filters to make finding those posts much easier. This is what the plugin back end looks like. There are two different versions of this plugin. One for WordPress 2.3.3 and one for WordPress 2.5. This is the type of […]
[Continue Reading...]If you cannot see the video, please visit this link: Organize Series – Video Plugin Review Today’s WordPress Plugin video review is of Organize Series by Unfolding Neurons. Video Summary: Organize Series is an extremely powerful plugin that makes organizing series rather simple. There are many options to customize the look. The show clincher for me is the ability to have series archives. I highly recommend this plugin for people who do post series. Pros: It’s easy to add series and to organize them. Many options to customize the look and feel. The series permalinks are a nice feature. Cons: Perhaps too many options, but power-users will love them. I only tested this plugin on 2.5, so I’m not sure how well this plugin fares on other versions. If you think your WordPress plugin will merit itself to a video review, please get in contact with me via e-mail (ronalfy+wltc […]
[Continue Reading...]Kaspars from Konstruktors has released a WordPress 2.5 plugin called Baltic Amber Themes that allows you to change your default colour schemeadmin theme. Update: This plugin does modify your admin layout as well as your color schemes, so please keep this in mind if trying the plugin out.

From there, you have an option of 8 colour schemes, or an option for a custom or random colour. This is a rather welcome addition to the WordPress 2.5 admin area.
