Wordpress 2.8 Released

June 11th, 2009 Category: Wordpress

Some hours ago Wordpress Version 2.8 has been released. All major changes and new features are listed on

• codex.wordpress.org

I’ve used the automatic upgrade within the administration panel on two blogs with different plugins installed. On both blogs I could not detect a problem after the automatic upgrade.

WP 2.8 comes with many changes, but I could not detect one which is important for me.

Wordpress Favicon Plugin

June 7th, 2009 Category: Wordpress Missing the favicon in your Wordpress blog? Then you should install the MaxBlogPress Favicion plugin. It’s easy to use and comes with 100 pre installed icons. Or you are able to upload you own icon.

Problems

After installation the MaxBlogPress Favicion on the TechniTip.Net blog all pages were returned empty to the browser. I don’t know exactly what did cause this issue, but could solve it  by changing the plugin code injecting mode:

Enter Settings->MBP Favicon->Advanced Options and checked [x] wp_head() instead of Buffer Caching.

Afterwards everything was fine.

Installation

• Install via download from MaxBlogPress Favicion and unpack it to your plugin folder
  
• Or search for “MaxBlogPress Favicion” in the plugin section in your WP-Admin if you have Wordpress 2.7 or newer installed

• Enter the admin page and select “Plugins”
• Scroll down to the section “Get More Plugins”
• Select “Plugin Browser/Installer”
• Search for “WPtouch” and install

Otherwise you have to go the manual way.

Problems with WP Super Cache

If you are using WPtouch together with the WP Super Cache plugin you may run into trouble, I solved it with the following steps:

1. In Settings->WP Super Cache add the following Recected User Agents:
   iPhone
   iPod
   aspen
   dream
   incognito
   webmate
   BlackBerry9500
   BlackBerry9530
2. Add the following line in your .htaccess
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !^.+(iPhone|iPod|aspen|dream|incognito|webmate|BlackBerry9500|BlackBerry9530)
   This line should be inserted above the following existing line:
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html -f
