WordPress Plugins

Import HTML Pages

Imports well-formed static HTML files into WordPress posts or pages.

Twitter Tools – Default Permalink

Shortens your URLs to the default permalink format (‘/?p=n’). This plugin depends on Twitter Tools v1.6 and above.

Dashboard Notepad

The very simplest of notepads for your Dashboard. Based on Alex Günsche’s Headache With Pictures.

Private Suite

Allows admins to add private pages to wp_list_pages() and the Pages widget, specify the prefix on private and protected post and page titles, and choose which user roles may read private pages and posts.

Next Page

Provides shortcodes and template tags for previous, next, and parent navigation in pages.

Post Signature

Appends the author’s display name to posts and/or pages. Useful for multi-author blogs that are crossposted elsewhere, such as LiveJournal or Facebook.

Post and Page Excerpt Widgets

Creates widgets that display excerpts from posts or pages in the sidebar.

Recent Posts with Excerpts

Creates widgets that list your most recent posts with excerpts. The number of posts and excerpts is configurable; for example, you could show five posts but include the excerpt for only the most recent.

Random Posts from Category

This widget will list random posts from a chosen category. You can choose how many posts to display, and whether to show the excerpt or the full content in addition to the post title. You may also link the widget title to the category archive if you like.

No Place Like Home

Displays a small home icon next to the designated home page under Pages → Edit.

Assign Missing Categories

Assigns the default category to all posts that don’t have a category (usually after a category-to-tag conversion).

Mass Format Conversion

This plugin applies all content filters to posts and comments and saves them back to the database. This is useful if you have been using Textile or Markdown (for example) and you want to switch to plain HTML.

Comment Author Checklist

A plugin for writers’ critique groups or other group blogs that do some kind of document review. It generates a list of registered users with the names of those who have commented on the post (as well as the post’s author) crossed off.

  2. Hi, Jim. Thanks for trying it out! Can you give me any more info? The plugin should work on 2.3 and up (I need to mention that in the post).

    Without details, I can suggest only obvious things: make sure you try it on a post in the right category that has comments, and at least the author (if not the commenters) is at or above the minimum user role… and so on.

  3. I tested in 2.5, author is admin

    BTW “Show in categories” is hard to use because 2.5 doesnt show the numeric id

    I inserted this code.

    and got these results.

  7. it hates me

    Posted by Jim on March 31st, 2008 at 5:26 pm

  8. Thanks, Jim. I think I’ve fixed your code. (Textile is very different from the WP forum stuff, so backticks don’t work here.)

    I must have introduced an error very late last night, because the plugin has stopped working on my test site, too! I’ll dig into it this evening.

  9. 1.01 posted. Thanks for your help, Jim!

    Posted by Stephanie on March 31st, 2008 at 6:58 pm

  10. still doesn’t work for me.

    might be you are using another plugin that it needs? have you tried this plugin on a blank website with no other plugins running? I’ve disabled all plugins and switched to default theme and still cant see any changes. I even changed user level needed.

    Here’s a link to my output code.

  11. It’s not a plugin dependency; it looks like I have another bug in my category check code. Tune in tomorrow…

    Posted by Stephanie on April 1st, 2008 at 12:01 am

  12. When in doubt, go back to your original working prototype!

    Version 1.02 posted, and all the options work on my test blog. I’ve also added an option to display the checklist on all categories (“*”). Let me know how it goes!

    Posted by Stephanie on April 1st, 2008 at 8:33 pm

  13. still a no go for me…where exactly are you putting the code and which file?

    Posted by Jim on April 2nd, 2008 at 2:26 am

  14. It should go inside the loop in single.php. If you don’t have a separate template for single posts, it could go in index.php with is_single(), presuming that you don’t want the checklist to appear on the home page or archive listings.

    Mine is right below the content:

    < ?php the_content('

    Read the rest of this entry »

    ');
    if (function_exists(show_comment_author_checklist))
    { show_comment_author_checklist(); } ?>

  15. I’ve posted 1.03, which gives you checkboxes for the categories instead of making you type them in.

    Posted by Stephanie on April 4th, 2008 at 3:18 pm

  16. Jim, what version of PHP do you have? I’d thought this would work with 4, but I just noticed one function at the very end that was new in 5.1.0.

    Posted by Stephanie on April 4th, 2008 at 4:33 pm

  17. 4.1.22

    the host is in the process of upgrading to 5.0+, but I’m getting the feeling it will be awhile.

    if that’s the issue then no need to worry about it. I’m just trying to help test the script. I’ve been playing around with the script and I think I’m getting close to figuring out which black hat the rabbit is hiding in.

    Posted by Jim on April 4th, 2008 at 6:27 pm

  18. That explains it!

    I’ll see if I can work around that one function… if so, I’ll let you know. Thanks so much for all your help!
