Updating Wordpress plugins
Jan
27
Oh yeah, I have been a good girl tonight. I’ve been going through all my Wordpress plugins, checking if there were any updates on them. And hell yes, there were quite a few to update. Some has new features to them that I have to check out a bit more later…
Here’s my little list of plugins I updated:
just so you can see some plugins I use for this site :P
- Akismet v2.0 - Let’s hope this plugin only gets better.
- DD-Sitemap v2.71
- FeedBurner Plugin v2.2
- Google Sitemaps v2.7.1
- Jerome’s Keywords v2.0 beta - Noticed some good improvements!
- Link Indication v3.1
- Now Reading v4.3.4 - Note to self: I better check out the new template files if something has changed.
- Subscribe To Comments v2.1 - You can view a list of people who subscribed and a list of the most subscribed posts!
- WordPress Database Backup v2.0 - Get a backup emailed to you, fantastic!
- WP Grins v1.3 - I seem to have a problem with this one. They won’t appear in the blog-posts, only in the add-comment-text-are and in my cpanel. I’ll have to look into it a bit more. Might have missed something.
- LiveJournal Crossposter v1.5 - hasn’t officially been updated yet, but the temporary fix can be found here. Edit: Or use Corinne’s way.
And a little list of the rest of the plugins:
- Vox Crossposter v0.3
- Author Highlight 1.0
- Code Auto Escape v2.0
- Counterize v0.53
- Exec-PHP v3.0
- FAlbum v0.6.9
- Gravatar - it’s down and it’s supposed to be back up in February but I have my doubts.
- My comments v0.1
- Quoter v1.1
- Rate My Stuff v1.0
- Related Posts v2.02
- Sidebar Widgets v1.0.20060711 - I don’t use this anymore since I found out that widgets isn’t my thing. Why I still have it is a mystery.
- WP-ContactForm v1.4.3
- WWW Redirect v0.3
That’s a lot of plugins!
So tell me, which is your favorite plugin/s?


You have a lot of plugins activated, haha. My most favorite would be..I don’t know, errr. Maybe the Auto-Close Comments and Akismet plugins are my can’t-blog-withouts. Admin Drop Down Menu and WP DB Backup are lots of love. All others are just for decorative purposes only. ^_^

:o I also am a sucker for plugins!
My favorite is probably the Now Reading plugin - I haven’t completely integrated it yet but I know that when I am done doing so I will not be able to live without it.
Of course I appreciate my anti spam plugins but I don’t pay much attention to them beside when they needs to be updated.
I have been thinking about giving Jeromes Keywords a go because it looks great some of the places I have seen it implemented - but the site seems to be down - so I will have to wait :angry:

I forgot to ask - why do you doubt the return of the Gravatar site?

Oh another plugin fanatic like myself! Although I think I win as queen of useless plugins :P This is exactly why I don’t want to upgrade to 2.1 yet, I dread all the downloading, editing and uploading of the new plugins.

Thanks for the comment on the art Malin :wink:
I don’t use many plugins since I dont use my wordpress very much at all. I’ll probably start getting into all that after I do my big update for b-s.net.
Your list will help me out :P

I was just there, and he’s posted the first screencap of the new version.
So, I think it’s happening.
