Previous Post Andrew Nacin Explains Post Formats In Detail
Previous Post WordPress Plugin Releases for 1/27
While I’m pretty excited about the Post Formats feature slated for WordPress 3.1, developers have been taken aback by the lack of flexibility or customization that can be performed with them. Many developers have been wondering how these post formats can be extended or how they can add some of their own. Although WordPress has always had hooks and filters to customize features added into the core, Post Formats strays from that routine by strongly discouraging straying from the standardized post formats. Andrew Nacin, a WordPress core developer outlines why Post Formats work the way they do. It’s important to note that Post Formats won’t be for everyone. With term names and such, we went through great lengths to ensure formats were as portable as possible. The idea behind the feature is this standardization and portability for a segment of bloggers. Many designers of themes used for microblogging wanted this […]

The third WordPress 3.1 Release Candidate has been released. There have been a few significant changes made since the second Release Candidate, including the removal of AJAX list tables, which introduced too many bugs and usability issues to be considered stable for 3.1 Because of the major changes, the developers are asking for as many beta testers as they can get. If you run into any problems, please feel free to discuss them in the Alpha/Beta section of the Support Forums or contact the wp-testers mailing list. If you run into any bugs, please follow this guide to report them. Have you tried WordPress 3.1 RC3 yet? If you have, what do you think so far? Are you ready for the final release of WordPress 3.1?
[Continue Reading...]Almost two months ago, we found out what your favorite themes were, and with so much discussion lately on finding WordPress themes, theme malware, and plans to protect against it, there’s one discussion-worthy question that we’ve managed to miss. What do you look for in a theme? What makes you say, “I have to have that,” above all other choices? Is is simply the colors, the functionality, or perhaps something more specific?

WordPress is continuing its climb to CMS fame, according to some impressive stats by Water & Stone. Of note in the report, “The Big Three — WordPress, Joomla! and Drupal — remain ?rmly in command of the market,” and “WordPress has taken the lead in brand strength after a strong growth year.” The report itself is quite detailed, and well worth an evening or weekend read.

The WordPress developers have just clarified its license as “GPL version 2 or later,” putting an end to some frequent confusion. WordPress contains libraries which are licensed under the GPL “version 2 or any later version,” which obviously excludes version 1 of the GPL. Here is the reality: the GPL version 1 is effectively irrelevant. It hasn’t been a commonly used license since before Matt Mullenweg was in third grade! Clarifying WordPress as being licensed under the GPL “version 2 or later” resolves these niggling library licensing concerns or ambiguities, and clarifies where WordPress stands. As with any licensing discussion, the post has generated some interesting comments, which makes for some entertaining (if not educational) weekend reading.

Isaac Keyet has announced on the WordPress For iOS blog that version 2.6.4 has hit the app store. This version of the app has gone through careful screening especially within the Media Uploader and Post Write/Edit areas. One of the more annoying bugs has been fixed where line breaks would inconsistently be inserted into the code while some line breaks would be removed when editing posts. As for the media uploader, users should now be able to handle multiple file uploads without the app crashing. While a number of other bugs have been squashed, the team is already working on the 2.6.5 update. On the agenda for 2.6.5 is: Priority #1 is always to fix the issues you are reporting, so go ahead and download 2.6.4 and tell us your thoughts!
