Newsletter Pop Up Module 1.0.1

Only for members I just uploaded a news version of the experimental Pop Up Module for Newsletter.  It should fix some layout problem and the thank you message configuration. That module is temporary active on this site just to show how it works and… to test it as well. Pop Ups, even if hated, are [...]

Newsletter Version 3.2.8

Just released a new version of Newsletter plugin. This version, 3.2.8, contains a little interface improvement on subscription form configuration panel and a new tag, {title}, to add personal titles (Mr, Mrs) on salutation to subscribers.

bbPress Editor Not More Working From Version 2.3.1

The bbPress team decided to disable the fancy editor from version 2.3.1 even if on configuration panel you can actually set it as default. The setting does not work. I don’t know why the team decided to disable it, but it can be a real problem for who was used to rely on that editor [...]

Plugins And Themes Should Append Their Version To Static Resources

If you know something about CSS or JavaScript, maybe you noted that WordPress loads them appending the version number: http://www.domain.tld/something/file.css?ver=3.5.1 This technique is useful during WordPress upgrades: since the file name does not change, adding a version number forces the browsers to redownload the file and so get the current version. Otherwise it may happen [...]

Version 3.2.4 had been adjusted in many points [...]

One can believe that a missing resource referenced from a blog page only generates a 404 error message from the server and nothing else. Wrong! Try this experiment: open your browser and try to load an inexistant image [...]

Bootstrap Themes At WrapBootstrap

I discovered Twitter Bootstrap a while ago, but I never used it until I started an activity of WordPress theme customization. That theme, as many other, uses Bootstrap to organize the page grid so it’s easy to make it responsive. Of course Bootstrap alone is not enough to build a website, many other components with [...]

Newsletter Version 3.2.3

Yesterday I released Newsletter version 3.2.3. It contains a few of fixes and finally a definitive way to integrate with WordPress user registration. Note! Newsletter still works as standalone subscription system, integration with WordPress user registration is only an optional feature. More on how the integration actually works, how to import WordPress users as subscribers, [...]

Amazon Elastic Beanstalk is fantastic if you have a Java webapp (WAR file) and you want to deploy it on a dynamic cluster of servers with a click. But there are chances you can get troubles if you do not change the default Apache configuration. On our Elastic Beanstalk, the default Apache configuration is with [...]
