Well, seems like only earlier today that I was announcing that I’m working on ACFW Version 1.0 and here I am posting an update. (more…)

Now I’m holiday for a while, I’m catching up on some of the jobs I’ve been meaning to do. One of those is the next major release of my Advanced Custom Field Widget for WordPress. (more…)

Version 0.97 of ACFW has been released. This is a fix for the plugin directory issue that has prevented new versions being recognised by the directory and consequently users blogs.

Download the latest version from the WordPress Plugin Directory.

Many thanks to Ronald van der Zwan for his Dutch translation of ACFW which was released today as version 0.96.

You can download the latest version of ACFW from the WordPress Plugin Directory. You may also want to check out my wiki pages about ACFW, especially if you haven’t upgraded for a while (0.92 was a major re-engineering effort in preparation for version 1.0).

Just a quick post to announce the release of Advanced Custom Field Widget version 0.95. This release addresses an issue when loading all custom fields (but not all items), which was resulting in ‘Array’ being displayed in place of the field in the content generator.

Get the latest version from the WordPress Plugin Directory. NOTE – The directory is still not recognising new versions correctly so if you are a current user, you’ll have to resort to a manual upgrade of the plug-in I’m afraid.

In my continued efforts to resolve the problem that exists between the WordPress plugin directory and Advanced Custom Field Widget, I have re-encoded all the text files as plain ASCII text and submitted a new version. I have also brought the name of the POT file into line with the widget and text domain (didn’t really understand that part until I actually paid some attention to it yesterday). Whilst doing all this, I was retagging as version 0.93, but for some reason, it can’t seem to handle deleting a file (and then committing the change) and then retagging… SVN kept coming back with an error about the old POT file being missing.

So, it’s been retagged as version 0.94. It’s not a major change… if you have 0.93 and it’s working, then don’t worry about this update, until of course the plugin directory issue is resolved and then hopefully your blog will nag you about updates

Well, it’s only 2 weeks since the last version was released, but already version 0.93 is here and it’s a bit of a major step forward. (more…)

Well, I’m quite getting into this WordPress plugin lark… I have just released version 0.1.1 of a new plugin that is designed to allow you to create ‘virtual’ sidebars that can be managed in the normal way, but which can then be inserted on demand into post and page content using a shortcode.

For more details visit the plugin page here.

I released version 0.91 (aka. 0.90 or 0.9) on Sunday only to discover later that evening that the changes to prevent the widget messing up the main WP query weren’t actually working on a page with multiple posts. The query wasn’t correct and wasn’t pulling out the correct data resulting in the widget terminating before any content had been created.

This was fixed fairly quickly and version 0.92 has now been release. Unfortunately, the WordPress plugin directory appears to be broken as it’s unable to establish that 0.92 is the latest version and so, if you have ACFW and you want to upgrade to this latest version, you’ll have to do it manually I’m afraid as your blog won’t even tell you there has been an update.

It is with great pleasure that I announce the release of version 0.91 of Advanced Custom Field Widget. (more…)
