Comment Images 1.6

December 13, 2012 / Tom

With the recent release of WordPress 3.5, I’ve spent some time updating my plugins to make sure they’re update to date with the latest version. Additionally, I’ve been trying to patch any outstanding bug, issues, and minor features before introducing anything new.

Comment Images generally receives more questions and comments than any of my other plugins, so prior to introducing any major new features, I wanted to resolve a few outstanding issues.

Here’s a run down of the latest update to Comment Images for WordPress.

In late 2010, I released a small jQuery plugin called Slide Note that made it easy to add sliding notifications to your website or web application. It included a variety of features such as the ability to control where it was displayed on the page, custom callbacks, and Ajax integration.

Anyway, I continued to maintain the jQuery plugin for sometime, but it’s time to retire that plugin, too.

November 26, 2012 / Tom / 0 Comments

A few months ago, I completed a series of articles for Envato called The Complete Guide To The WordPress Settings API.

The purpose of the series was to walkthrough the WordPress Settings API taking a look at sections, settings, fields, and how they all fit together to properly build a WordPress project using menus, tabbed navigation, input elements, and data sanitization all of which interact properly with the WordPress database.
