- Dev Blog: Plugin Directory Refreshed19 May 2012, 6:56 pm
Been hanging out with a few WordPress.org hackers — Scott, Nacin, and Otto — the last few days in a BBQ-fueled haze of hacking to make plugin directory better. There are over 19,000 plugins listed and they’re really the heart and soul of WordPress for many people, so they deserve a little tender loving care. Here’s a quick before and after snapshot you can zoom in on to see a visual overview of some of the changes: Our first focus was around improving the discussion and ...

- Matt: WP BBQ in Memphis18 May 2012, 4:30 pm
For the third year now I’m over in Memphis for the World Championship of BBQ, joined by Otto, Nacin, Scott, and Rose. Last year due to flooding the festival was moved to a fairgrounds inland, but there’s nothing quite like being right on the Mississippi with the sweet aroma of pork all around you. (An aroma that, incidentally, follows you home in your clothes. ) The team we sponsor, the Moody Ques, put together an impressive booth this year, which you can see coming up in the below ... - Matt: Building Have Baby / Need Stuff18 May 2012, 4:08 pm
Mark Jaquith writes How I built “Have Baby. Need Stuff!” — a nice overview of the latest and greatest in modern WP development.... - Alex King: Social 2.5 beta 217 May 2012, 9:44 pm
We’re just about ready to put a bow on version 2.5 of Social. If you’d like to test the second beta release, grab it from GitHub. Social is a plugin that allows you to maintain a centralized conversation on your site, while also participating in conversations on Facebook and Twitter.... - Weblog Tools Collection: WordPress Plugin Releases for 5/1717 May 2012, 2:00 pm
New plugins Monster Widget provides a quick and easy method of adding all core widgets to a sidebar for testing purposes. Updated plugins Bad Behavior complements other link spam solutions by acting as a gatekeeper, preventing spammers from ever delivering their junk, and in many cases, from ever reading your site in the first place. Yepty is yet another pay per click advertising plugin. ... - Weblog Tools Collection: WordPress Community Summit16 May 2012, 2:00 pm
The WordPress core team is pulling out all the stops this year and shooting for a big summit to be attended by prominent contributors and community members. Instead of the traditional meet up, which is typically attended by only the core developers and their chosen guests, the core team is now looking for your nominations to decide who will attend the first ever WordPress Community Summit. The Summit will allow the core developers to get to work with the best and brightest of the WordPress comm... - WPTavern: Searching Only The Codex16 May 2012, 1:00 pm
When performing a search on the Codex, you’re presented with a slew of search results. However, not all of those results are within the Codex. The search portion of the Codex is powered by a Google custom search box which not only presents results from within the Codex, but from across WordPress.org as well, mainly the support forum. While performing a search for Conditional Statements, the first result was the one I was looking for. However, if you want the results to strictly be within... - Donncha: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted16 May 2012, 12:50 pm
WordPress uses memory. Plugins and themes use memory. New versions of software may use more memory than before. When that happens and PHP on your server doesn’t have enough memory then PHP will stop with a fatal error like this: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1203208 bytes) in /home/*****/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php on line 4215 This happens quite a bit but it’s not a bug in WordPress or your new plugin or theme, you... - Dev Blog: Calling All Contributors: Community Summit 201215 May 2012, 10:36 pm
Each year, the WordPress core development team meets in person for a week to work together and discuss the vision for WordPress in the coming year. As annual events go, it’s easily my favorite. Don’t get me wrong, I love attending WordCamps and local WordPress meetups (which are awesome and you should try to attend if you are able), but at the core team meetup, the focus on working together and getting things done is unique, as is the experience of every person in the room being so h... - Alex King: WP App Store15 May 2012, 9:18 pm
Congratulations to Brad on today’s launch of WP App Store. I’m very pleased to see this come to life. It’s an idea we toyed around with several years ago, but decided not to pull the trigger on – I hope it’s a huge success. We’ve put our FavePersonal and FaveBusiness themes along with our RAMP plugin into the app store. If you’d like to check it out, download the plugin and start browsing. There is a great group of companies represented already and I...
Fun, productivity, music and art! Spend a day with one of the most knowledgeable...
