Plugin Upgrades

Posted in Plugins, Wordpress by Elliott Back on June 27th, 2006.

WP Hashcash has gotten a much needed update, to version 3.2. The new version doesn’t output buffer the whole page and make random replacements to the HTML code. Rather, it navigates to select items in the DOM at load time and replaces them as appropriate. The techniques should work in all browsers, but may not; I have tested in Firefox only. Willing volunteers can leave bug reports on this post! I will also be running the new WP Hashcash on this blog.

WP Autoblog has been upgraded to deal with missing rss author information, and to ping services. If anyone knows how best to attribute syndicated content in RSS, please let me know. The major problem is that most Wordpress themes will link the title to their own blog, leaving the only other option tagging on an “Original post by…” line at the bottom of the article.
