You’ve probably already seen the notice in your dashboard but it’s worth noting that this 2.1.2 release houses not only 34 bug fixes but also 2 improvements, including the neat TED shortcode as well as filters for the Infinite Scroll feature that some blogs are using now. These filters, as reported by the team, allow themes and plugins to provide additional assets that should be loaded before a new set of posts is appended to the DOM. I’ve done a quick test of one of the most popular TED Talks of all time and it works just fine:

Yes, that is a monkey and yes he is wearing a mask and a cape. He is one of the newest editions to our growing office space and is something that I will personally enjoy chucking at my partners. Today is yet another day where I will spend most of it cleaning up and building random things here and there while the rest of my team does work remotely. You see, there are going to be quite a few times right now where I’ll be the only one here as we’re finalizing schedules and making changes in our separate lives […]

Hey, as they say: If it ain’t broke then don’t fix it! And that’s what ManageWP has decided to do with their Android port of their iOS app that launched a few months back. You’ll find a near 1-to-1 experience if you’ve taken a look at the iPhone version of their service. What’s neat is that they have a very clear goal in mind for their mobile product development department:

Yikes: Nearly 1% of websites built with a content management system (like WordPress or Joomla) are unknowingly exposing their database password to anyone who knows where to look. As reported by Feross Aboukhadijeh, he created a quick application affectionately called “CMSploit” that scanned the top 200,000 websites as ranked by Qauntcast and found that .011% are completely vulnerable. One step further, when he eliminated non-CMS sites he discovered that .77% showed publicly-visible config files to the websites database. Remember, this is just the top 100k sites – which means that not only are you possibly susceptible to this vulnerability but hundreds if not […]

In mid-December of last year we mentioned how Matt Mullenweg was nominated as one of the elite 30 Under 30 for Forbes – what an honor it must be to be among those other 29 incredible (and young!) individuals. But I’ve been so backed up with work that I finally got around to sifting through the January issue where it was highlighted in print and was able to snap a picture of in the real:

The Post Revisions function in WordPress is critically important for those that are doing some serious publishing with WordPress or even managing a team for WordPress as CMS in the context of business. And many of us have had that “close” call where we had to revert back to a previous version of some content and was so thankful that the post revision feature actually existed, right? Well, it’s getting even better in 3.6 and there have been more than a few mockups floating around for the upcoming update to the feature. Here they are for your viewing pleasure – […]

Over the weekend we saw a little rant appear in the sub-Reddit reacting to one of Theme Foundry’s theme, Portfolio. Remember, it’s a rant, so, take it with a grain of salt, but here it is via zapt0:

ManageWP continues to update their system and service to provide an even more simple migration to their solution by adding a “clone” tool that will help users and website owners migrate. With a “few” clicks you can move your entire WordPress-powered site. I got the notice in my inbox to let me know that it’s now available:
