Announcing The WordPress Plugin Boilerplate 2.0

May 8, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

Back in December 2011, I released an initial version of the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate. The purpose of the boilerplate was to provide an easy way to build WordPress plugins.

Specifically, the project featured:

File organization
Documented code
Implementation of the Plugin API
Action and Filter Reference

After the feedback that I received upon thisl release, I officially published version 1.0 to GitHub on November 29, 2012. After over a year of various contributions from others and other improvements, I’m proud to release the second version of the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate.

How To Find WordPress Comments That Are Missing Replies

April 9, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

A little less than two months ago, Pippin Williamson, Andrew Norcross, and I decided that we were going to collaborate on a WordPress comment reply plugin.

Specifically, we were going to work on a plugin that was going to make it easy for publishers to identify comments to which they’ve not responded. We also set the arbitrary deadline of having it completed by the end of WordCamp Miami.

We met the deadline, soft launched the plugin yesterday, and are officially launching it today.

Category Sticky Post 1.2

April 8, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

Last week, I release a relatively major update to Category Sticky Post. For those of you who have been reading this blog for some time, you know that I released the first version back in August of last year.

Since then, there are been several minor updates most of which were primary bug fixes or hot fixes.

Though this update is still a relatively minor update, it introduces a few things both behind-the-scenes and functionality-wise that should improve how it works especially with posts having multiple categories

SysInfo For WordPress System Info

April 5, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

One of the neat things about attending conferences like WordCamp Atlanta is that you get the opportunity to get some facetime with other people that you may typically only interact with via Twitter.

Case in point: This past WordCamp Atlanta, I had the pleasure of hanging out with Dougal Campbell, Brian Krogsgard, Dave Donaldson, Mike Schinkel, Jonathan Davis, James Dalman, and others.

But one of the neater things that happened was, over lunch, Dave happened to demo something that he had baked into a number of his Max Foundry products. Specifically, it was a WordPress system info tool specifically for helping him diagnose errors while handling support requests.

During a brief conversation, he mentioned that he was considering releasing it as its own plugin and placing it on GitHub.

I dug the idea.

A Plugin To Display WordPress Tags Without Links

March 29, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

In a few recent client projects, I’ve had the need to display WordPress tags without links. Sure, this is relatively easy to do with a `foreach` loop, but I got tired of writing the same code.

So I decided to write a simple plugin that makes it way to display the tags without links.
