The talented team behind the WordPress for iOS app has released “the most stable release of WordPress for iOS in a long time.” This version cures numerous bugs and has been tested especially carefully in two areas: Media Uploader and Post Write/Edit. The team is already hard at work on 2.6.5, so don’t be a stranger to the support forums if you find any problems. Do you use the WordPress for iOS mobile app? Do you think this release was an improvement over the last?

The anatomy of a WordPress theme: Joost de Valk from Yoast has posted a fantastic infographic (a very tall and descriptive image) of all the details on how a WordPress theme works. Very interesting for new theme developers, and a good frame of reference for WordPress DIYers looking to find a quick solution to a theme issue.

Recentently, we published two FAQs on finding free themes and free plugins, and both contained strong warnings about malware and steps to avoid infection, but what if your WordPress blog is already infected? The first thing to do is to confirm the existence of a malware infection by running the Exploit Scanner plugin. Once you have confirmed the existence of malware, refer to this handy Codex guide. Why simply link to the guide? Because this handy guide is updated by WordPress’ volunteer community to present the latest tips and tricks to clearing the latest malware infections from your blog. Of course, the best way to prevent a malware disaster is to regularly backup your database and files, but WordPress’ volunteer community has also compiled a list of recommended security measures. This is the fourth entry in our hopefully long-running WordPress FAQ series. What did you think, and what questions would […]

Have you ever wondered how WordPress handles the automated core, plugin, and theme upgrades? Well, it’s time for some quick weekend education! Long-time support forum volunteer, Ipstenu, has done all the thinking for you and has clearly laid out the inner-workings of the automated upgrade process. It’s a quick read, and you might leave with a new respect for the automated upgrade system, and a new understand for why you should create a child theme if you want to modify your own theme.

The winners of the WPHonors awards have been announced today by WPCandy.com. WPHonors has been compared to the Oscars but for WordPress. The site has a handful of categories ranging from best theme framework to best commercial plugin to best community member. It was neat to see WPTavern as well as Weblog Tools Collection.com added to the finals for voting despite our non attempt at getting votes/nominated. The one thing that did stand out regarding the final votes is that Joost De Valk would have walked away with three categories if it were not for the rule limiting the winner to one category. The winners get bragging rights and the claim to be part of the best of 2010. Congrats to wall who won.

Do you have a WordPress blog? Do you want to add voice search to your blog? Well, thanks to Otto the Tech Ninja, you can with just a slight modification to your theme! Yes, this will only work in Google Chrome if you have the Voice Search extension or if you’re using the latest development version, but with most computers shipping with built-in microphones these days, Voice Search certainly makes searching easy, and it’s a great way to impress your friends.

Without a doubt, the best place to find free WordPress plugins is the official Plugin Directory. With over 12,000 plugins, compatibility polls, support tags, and usage statistics, it’s definitely the most complete resource out there. Most WordPress users can easily find and install plugins from the official directory via Plugins -> Add New in their Dashboard, but some may need to complete a manual installation. To install a plugin manually, download it and then use an FTP or SFTP client to upload the decompressed archive to your blog’s /wp-content/plugins/ directory. Once the plugin has been uploaded, you should be able to activate it from the Plugins section of your Dashboard. If it isn’t appearing, the plugin may have additional installation instructions. Plugins are not free from the dangers of malware, and can sometimes be far more dangerous than themes. Unfortunately, the plugin directory does not have a volunteer review staff […]

While it doesn’t happen often to the point where it’s in the news everyday, WordPress.com has removed a particular blog as it violated their terms of service. On December 30th, 2010 WordPress.com archived/suspended the site bootislam.wordpress.com for the posting of hateful material such as directions on how to properly shoot a Muslim, false bomb threats, and burning mosques. When The Council on American-Islamic Relations found out about the site they called on American Muslims and people of conscience to contact WordPress.com along with them to try and get the site removed. While the site is now offline, CAIR has also submitted the sites content to the FBI for further investigation. I’m happy to see that no one has raised their voices to bring up the issue of freedom of speech because the Terms Of Service of WordPress.com specifically outlines what you can and can not do if you choose to […]
