WordPress 2.9 (Carmen) has been officially released and has quite a few new features. Some are visible and right on the page while many others are under the hood.
One of the features that I really like is the ability to bulk update my plug-ins. In previous versions of WordPress you had to update each plug-in individually by clicking on the automatic upgrade link in the WordPress plug-in, entering your FTP credentials and then waiting for the update to happen. If you had a lot of plug-ins this process could take a while to do.
To utilize the new bulk update process go to the Tools>Upgrade menu in the admin panel:

WordPress rocks! (Most of the time…) Sometimes though it can make you want to pull your hair out. Today I want to talk about that. Those times when you wish you could take a machete to it. I’ve had my share of such situations several times in the past.

So, lets get it started…

I have to admit, I love WordPress Extend Plugins. My first experience with the service came in April of this year when I released Ajax Edit Comments. I was mainly drawn to the service because of the promise of added publicity and the ease of tracking statistics.
My plugin crossing the 10,000 mark is a testament in itself to how WP Extend (and the WP community) helps promote plugins.
Once you get used to it, WP Extend is an easy and powerful tool for launching (and maintaining) a plugin. Sure the SVN takes a little bit of getting used to, but numerous people have written great tutorials on how to get your plugin listed (Windows, Linux, Mac?).
And since WordPress 2.3, WordPress users are automatically notified when a plugin listed at WP Extend is updated. It can’t get any better than that. Or, can it?
I love you WP Extend Plugins, but I […]
