WordPress Plugins Progress Update

by Dale Mugford ~ Jun 24 / 2009

We’ve been making slow and steady progress with WPtouch, and the beta program for the 1.9 release has been stellar. This should be a largely bug-free release, and includes new features as well as a nearly completely re-written plugin under the hood.

We’ve crushed a few dozen bugs, added a new feature called ‘Skins’, among other new features, and have totally re-designed the WPtouch admin panel.

This week we hope to shore up the last of the new feature additions and push out another beta release. Once tested 1.9 will be served fresh to everyone. We will likely release 1.9 and follow it up with point releases that will add (among other things) languages, new skins, and additional WordPress plugin compatibility support. We’ll have a complete listing of changes for 1.9 posted here soon.

WordTwit

WordTwit will also see an update soon, with more support for other shortening services and hashes, as well as kill some bugs.

Transporter

Our as yet unreleased plugin Transporter (one click WordPress database/file backup and site migration) will be something we work to have released as a public alpha in the future.

The road looks bright for BraveNewCode plugins, so keep your thumbs out and hitch a ride when our updates swing by your town.

    [off-topic: this maybe will sound weird...]

    OK, maybe it’s strange, but I downloaded your Minimalia theme. It’s just what I want, I’m kind of an old school blogger – I miss simple things.
    Well… it happens that since I installed this theme, my visits are going down. OK, I know blogging is all about content, but… is there any trouble with SEO things or maybe with WP 2.8?
    I’ve already changed the single post title to h1 and blog title to h2, but the results keep the same.
    Another thing is about pictures. The “featured” picture doesn’t appear properly aligned on most of the browsers. Is there anything I can do about it?
    I would like very much to maintain this skin… is there something you can tell me about it?
    Thanks!

    thanks, i’ll get there!

  4. I really like the widget and have recently installed it, however, I am unable to modify any of the attributes of the widget. I am not sure if I can or not. The options interface seems to be ineffective. I am currently using WordPress 2.3
    Yeaar, super plugin! Thanks a LOT!
    thx for this plugin

    WordTwit and WPtouch both require WordPress 2.6, and say so on the WordPress plugins page. We would suggest you upgrade your installation to take advantage of security protection and many new enhancements to WordPress and plugins like ours.
