Simple Tags not working with WordPress 2.9

Upgraded to WordPress 2.9 and your simple tags plugin stopped working? Here’s a quick fix till the author releases a new version.

// Check version.
global $wp_version;
if ( strpos($wp_version, '2.7') !== false || strpos($wp_version, '2.8') !== false ) {
require(dirname(__FILE__).'/2.7/simple-tags.client.php');

Change it to;

// Check version.
global $wp_version;
if ( strpos($wp_version, '2.7') !== false || strpos($wp_version, '2.8') !== false || strpos($wp_version, '2.9') !== false ) {
require(dirname(__FILE__).'/2.7/simple-tags.client.php');

Basically add “|| strpos($wp_version, ’2.9′) !== false” at the end of the if statement.

Google Public DNS down?

Google Public DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are really sluggish today. Shit load of timeouts and really bad lag. I’m switching back to openDNS now. 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

WordPress 2.9 is out

Just finished updating to WordPress 2.6 today. Here’s a few features which caught my extension.

• There’s a new recycle bin feature now called “trash”. You get to undelete posts, you get the idea.
• There’s a new built in image editor. You can crop,flip,scale any image you upload.
• Batch plugin updates. Finally, you get to update all your outdated plugins in one go.
• Oembed, embed videos directly into posts now without the need for extra plugins. Just paste your video’s url and wordpress will automatically embed it into your post.

For the full list read Matt’s post on WordPress 2.9.
