WP Lynx 0.2.1

Posted by in WordPress > Plugins

Available for immediate consumption, WP Lynx 0.2.1 has been released. After being notified two weeks ago of an issue with the install script, I meant to release a fix last week. Today, I realized that my initial fix did not work as expected—good thing I had not released 0.2.1 yet.

This is a very minor update, that will save new users headaches after first installing the plugin. This was verified to work as expected on WordPress 3.1-alpha. Note, there are some bugs when using WordPress in Network/Multi Site mode. I am looking into those, and will address them with another update.

Breadcrumb NavXT Hits 200K Downloads

Posted by in Announcements

Ok, so this is a bit belated, but just over a week ago Breadcrumb NavXT hit 200,000 downloads since the first beta release of 2.0.0 on WordPress.org back in late 2007. The amazing part is approximately 100K of those downloads have occurred within this year. Also, WP Lynx is approaching the 1000 total download mark, and should hit it sometime next week.

WP Lynx 0.2.0

Posted by in WordPress > Plugins

No, this is not the massive feature improved WP Lynx 0.5.0, it is a feature adding release that improves upon the previous version. New to this version is styling within the Visual editor in WordPress. This uses the default WP Lynx style and looks much better than the pile of text and images that would show up in the editor in the past. Additional features include the ability to undo setting imports, setting resets and setting changes (inherited from Breadcrumb NavXT).

Expect the next release of WP Lynx, version 0.5.0, to become available early December. This version will feature some substantial changes and feature additions as development progresses towards version 1.0.

Two Years of Breadcrumb NavXT 3

Posted by in WordPress > Plugins

Two years ago, Breadcrumb NavXT 3.0.0 was released. With it came the same underlying codebase used today. It came with the knowledge gained when writing version 2 of Breadcrumb NavXT, and has been, for the most part, easy to extend to support new features added into WordPress.

Looking forward, there will be a 3.7.0 release in early November. It has incorporated many suggestions from users, in particular extra options have been added for custom post types that enable more flexible hierarchy structures. While support for multi site features have not been worked on yet, I still intend to include them in this release.

Now for the part that will concern some of you. I will be limiting my support and development time allocated to Breadcrumb NavXT during the month of October. During this time I will be working on a side project with J.D. and preparing for WordCamp MSP 2010. After October things will go back to “normal” as we approach the run up to 3.7.0.

Breadcrumb NavXT 3.6.0 Auto Upgrade Warning

Posted by in WordPress > Plugins

WordPress 3.0.1, for some reason, does not do a proper deactivation/activation cycle on upgrading plugins. Due to database changes in 3.6.0, Breadcrumb NavXT requires a deactivation/activation cycle before it functions correctly. This specifically affects your traditional post and page breadcrumb trails, and a deactivation/activation cycle should clear it up.

Update: It looks like this is caused by the Dashboard > Updates multi plugin updater, use the regular one in Plugins > Plugins.
