Resolving The WordPress Multisite Redirect Loop

January 14, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

Though I do the majority of my work using single site WordPress installs, there are a number of sites and projects in which I’ve used WordPress multisite and there’s a problem that I’ve experienced specifically with using WordPress multisite, subdomains, and shared hosting environments.

Specifically, the problem is this:

Install WordPress and activate multisite
Configure the installation to use subdomains (versus subdirectories)
Attempt to login and get stuck in a redirect loop

If you have a single instance of WordPress multisite installed on the same server, there’s no issue, but if you go beyond that then you normally hit a problem: a redirect loop.

This year, WordCamp Atlanta is going to be held from March 15 – 16 and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s going to be held in downtown Atlanta at The Loudermilk Center with the after party being hosted at the official 8BIT / WP Daily office.

WP Audio Player Now on GitHub

January 11, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

Earlier this week, I released WP Audio Player – a simple plugin that makes it easy to embed audio files into your WordPress posts.

The plugin was graciously evaluated by Pippin Williamson on his personal blog, and several people on Twitter asked that I place the plugin on GitHub so that they can contribute.

As much as I am a fan of the open source model, I’ve never actually placed any of my plugins on GitHub – I just stick with the Subversion repository and managed bug reports and feature requests as they come in.

But I thought placing WP Audio Player on GitHub would be a fun – it’s helped my Boilerplates, so I figured it’d bode well for this plugin, too.

Looking For Blogging Interns For WP Daily

You guys know that I spend a significant portion of my time working with my team at 8BIT. We’re responsible for:

Standard (For both WordPress.org and WordPress.com)
#notes
WP Daily
Hello Dolly
…and a few other things that are coming down the pipeline.

Earlier this week, we brought on our first developer intern for 2013. In addition to this particular role, we’re also looking to fill a blogging internship specifically for WP Daily.

A Screencast on Advanced WordPress Plugin Development

January 10, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

When it comes to building things for WordPress, one of the things that I enjoy most is building plugins.

Sure, themes are fun and I dig the functionality that they bring, but because themes often require a significant time in design – a weakness of mine – and plugins are more oriented to adding extesibility and functionality – more or less a strength of mine – I’m more partial to it.

I spend a lot of time talking about how to do certain things with WordPress, viewing it as an application framework, and trying to provide scaffolding for projects – be it plugins or functions – but one thing that I’ve never done is actually provide a solid tutorial on my process for building plugins.

In my first premium screencast for Envato, I do exactly that.
