Less Filters Plugin for Wordpress

April 5, 2009

I made this plugin a while ago but I didn't have time to upload it. So please forgive me.

Download

Here is the link to download it: less-filters.

Quick instruction:

What you need to do is extract the less-filter.php file to /wp-content/plugins/ folder then activate the plugins. You will then be able to include javascript and other advanced codes into the wpmu post body and widgets. I will give more instruction soon. If not, please remind me.

Property right:

I made this plugin, so please kindly give me some credit if you talk about it or reproduce it. Thanks.

How to Change WPMU Category Name or Slug

April 29, 2008

I tried to edit my Wordpress MU Category information such as category name and category slug. What happened at first is that often the category entry is totally replaced by a Tag entry. Other times, the category record's new information is not saved at all. I troubleshot the problem and here is some temporary solution for a MySQL literate user.

The problem

When attempt to change category name or slug, the category ID is gone and replaced with a new number, which is the ID of an existing tag. The worst thing is that the old misplaced category record completely disappeared from both the blog and the Categories editor page.

WP-Super-Cache Does not Allow PHP Conditions

March 17, 2008

WP-Super-Cache WordPress plugin does it again. This time, the cache doesn't let me display custom message for user with Internet Explorer, because it only cache the first instant of the page.

Do you notice the different view of my blog's header when it you see on Firefox, and when you see it on Internet Explorer? I inserted some PHP code to recognize when it's IE to display the Firefox recommendation message. That's because I disabled the WP-Super-Cache. When Super Cache is enabled, it will make the page display exactly the same on both FireFox, and IE.

New Look for My WordPress Blog for 2008

December 28, 2007

Christmas is getting over and New Year is coming. The seasonal theme is getting out-dated soon in a week or so. Also, my blog Binh dot Name is growing from few unique visitors to average 50 per day. I really need a brand new unique look for a professional image.

So far I've been holding back writing and promoting my blog and asked myself Should I Migrate to WordPress MU?. Since then I made the decision to Migrate to WordPress MU and then finally Successfully Migrated to WordPress MU.

How to Remove Crazy WordPress MU HTML Filter

December 22, 2007

Have you ever seek for help on how to:

  • enable JavaScript for WordPress MU post;
  • remove WordPress MU HTML filter; or
  • enable advanced HTML tags and attributes, like embedded object, flash, video, etc?

I did. After migrating from WordPress 2.3.1 to WordPress MU 1.3.1 I lost all the JavaScript code from my posts and pages. I also experience few very serious issues, which I will write about later on.

Fixing Dangerous Permalink Redirect Bugs

November 16, 2007

Since I have more than one occasion encounter bug with Permalink Redirect, I recommend people wait for new version of this plug-in.

The Bugs

The following are the bugs:

  1. Redirect "/feed" URI to "/feed/" using 302 redirect. Ignoring the "/%postname%" rule having no trailing slash.
  2. Redirect "/?paged=x" to "/page/x/" (where x is paging number) ingoring the fact ugly default URL is used, causing 404 message when paging.

There is no doubt about these bugs, because I test it by enabling and disabling Permalink Redirect plugin.

Fixing the bugs

Indeed being a programmer gives me some advantages, I could fix the bugs on the fly.

A Glance at JustSimple WordPress Theme

November 7, 2007

I just stumbled on a WordPress theme called JustSimple, and I could say from the first look: "I will use it".

Good things about JustSimple

This theme, regardless of having only 2 images, 1 for background, and 1 for the RSS feeds, look so elegant and easy on the eyes. As the name suggests, JustSimple is a simple lightweight WordPress theme.

Take a look at the screen-shot below:

JustSimple

This is exactly what I wanted. A simple but good looking theme for fast loading.
