The link to the demo has been restored 2.5 Demo Site Chris has reassured me that he has taken the proper steps to ensure that redirects and the changing of the admin username and password will not happen anymore. If you see otherwise, please let us know. Chris Johnston has announced the availability of a public WordPress 2.5 demo site. This site will house the most up to date version of WordPress 2.5 prior to its release in March. This is particularly useful to those who do not wish to setup an SVN install of WordPress on their local machine or web server. Feel free to play around within the administration panel as the database is reset with default information every hour. The login credentials for the demo are as follows: The username is admin and the password is demo. I want to personally extend a thanks to Chris for […]

I battled this one for a little bit and I hope the information here helps someone. First and foremost, there are various version of this problem and they might have different causes stemming from the same source. I list them here in no particular order. I found all the topics starting with a search for the dreaded “Method Not Implemented” 501 error code from the admin panel of WordPress. POST to /test/wp-admin/index-extra.php not supported: This error is also noticed on post.php and theme-editor.php. Now there are various WordPress Forum posts providing somewhat workable solutions to the problem. I tried some of the solutions but either they did not work for me (I had not looked that closely at the error before trying them) or they were too broad and I did not care for the results. There is some finger pointing in both the forums and the various other pages […]
[Continue Reading...]Whether you’re brand new to WordPress or have been around the neighborhood for a few months chances are, you have heard at least one or more of the following terms without knowing their definition. As with any sub-culture, WordPress has developed its own lingo of sorts. This post will dive into some of the common words associated with WordPress and by the end of this article, you’ll be able to follow a conversation in the WordPress.org IRC channel with ease! Codex – The WordPress.org Codex is like a portal containing all sorts of information related to the open source project. The Codex is maintained by volunteer document writers who are part of the WP.org community. When you have a problem or question with WordPress.org, the codex is the first place you should look for an answer. Parameter – Parameters are often mentioned when discussing plugin or theme development topics. Think […]
[Continue Reading...]There is some great news today for those that live in or around Kazakhstan and use WordPress. WordPress.org software, which has already been translated into a number of different languages, can lay claim to having a Kazakh translated version. Kazakh is the native language of Kazakhstan. According to a press release, the number of Kazakh bloggers has grown considerably, mostly due in part to a Google Group that was created which explained how the software works. Up to this point, WordPress has been translated into 57 different languages (not counting the OTHERS category). This would make number 58. To see all of the various translations that have occurred thus far, check out the Codex Article labeled, WordPress In Your Language
[Continue Reading...]Extending WordPress Beyond the Blog: A good article on extending WordPress beyond “just a blog” with examples and a developer’s trials and tribulations along the way. Custom Fields in WordPress are the bomb. I have worked extensively with this feature set and used it to my advantage many times. WordPress Jobs makes use of the custom fields to store and produce the job listings. Our recent post on WordPress as a contact manager also uses Custom Fields. Heck there was a Contest at one point that awarded prizes to the best new use of WordPress’ Custom Fields. Along those lines, Andrew asks a question at the end of the linked article that caught my fancy and I wanted to ask our readers the same question. We might find some new uses for old code and spark new ideas. Which are your favorite non-traditional sites that use WordPress as their publishing […]
[Continue Reading...]WP Contact Manager: The versatility of WordPress continues to amaze me. Design Canopy has released a theme/set of instructions for WordPress that would allow you to run a WordPress install as a taggable, searchable contact manager that can be made into a Members Only system and display related contacts. Now mind you, it is not a stand alone theme, needs extra plugins to be downloaded and installed and they outline detailed instructions on how to set it up. However, the setup looks relatively easy and the results are definitely pretty cool. I would have liked to see a Prologue like custom posting interface for logged in users but that could be an easy add on or plugin once the thing is set up.
[Continue Reading...]Prologue, the WordPress.com theme that mimics Twitter like functionality has undergone a series of updates. The updates are as follows: The front page now shows a stream of recent updates instead of one update per user Pages now have their own template and look much better Avatars are only shown once for sequential posts by the same author (front page and tag pages) Post titles are no longer empty, they are generated based on the beginning of each post Works out of the box for WordPress.org 2.3.2 Probably the biggest update is the fact that Prologue now works out of the box for WordPress 2.3.2. It didn’t work before because of a function that was used within the author template which wasn’t available in 2.3.2. Because of these updates, Prologue which is now at version 1.2, will have the changes reflected in Subversion (for self hosted WordPress.org blogs) and is […]
