Organize Series 2.0.7 released
2
Some more fixes to the code made it necessary for yet another release of Organize Series. Incidentally – I noticed that Travis Snoozy made the announcement that he is no longer actively developing his “In-Series” plugin and will only be maintaining it until he can find someone to take over it’s development. Working on Organize Series has made me painfully aware of just how much time and effort goes into developing these plugins and his work on In-Series certainly “prodded” my development of my own series plugin in some areas. Thanks for your contributions to the WordPress community Travis!
Without further ado, here’s the changeset for version 2.0.7 of Organize Series (you can download this version by clicking here):
Minor Changes:
- Removal of extraneous html from series.php and seriestoc.php template files.
- Updated readme.txt for suggestion to copy customized
series.phpandseriestoc.phpfiles to theme directory. - Added missing
< /div >toseriestoc.phpfile to fix “98%” of the typical default installations of this plugin. - fixed a potential bug with the
get_series_toc()function/template tag. - Fixed a few spacing, code structure errors throughout the files.
- Changed the “title” attribute for the
get_series_toc()link to something a bit more friendly.

Be careful using the Automatic Plugins upgrades in WordPress 2.5
Well the long awaited sequel to the 2.3 branch of WordPress is almost out the door. Release Candidate 1 of WordPress 2.5 is now available for those brave souls who want to do some testing before the final release. WordPress 2.5 has been covered pretty well on the blogosphere so I’m not going to go into all the details here but I did want to write a post about one new feature that could cause some problems with users upgrading.
WordPress 2.5 comes with the ability for blog owners to upgrade their plugins automatically via the Plugins Page. “Automatic Upgrade” means that instead of having to download the plugin and then ftp it to your server, you can simply click the “upgrade automatically” link and WordPress will take care of everything for you. (click the picture below to see what it looks like)
It’s a great idea and definitely one that will work okay with most basic plugins but here’s the problem(s):
