Connected Internet: WordPress Plugin Refresh

  • Dave Starr · 1 year ago
    Couldn't be a more timely feature, Everton. I've had some issues on a number of blogs with several different 'related' plug-ins and I really want to resolve the problem network-wide this month. I'm giving this one a shot, thanks for the tip.

    Good treasure trove of advice.

    Just some weeks ago, I found the solution to my hanging board problem after migrating to WP 2.3. Turns out the Simple Tagging plugin caused ugly conflicts with the 2.3 code. One of your posts nicely jotted down the solution for me.

    Hello Everton
    Its nice to be back to your site with a good post like this.I was thinking of something like these plug in comparisons.I think you should get the plugins post again where you can tell the plugins to be used
    Cheers

    @E - I always appreciate this type of article. It is good to see what a high volume high revenue site is using to add value to its readers...
    Although, I still can't figure out why you moved your theme away from TypoXP Reloaded (too many people using it?)

    Thanks for the links. It would be great if you could help me out with a plugin by which I can place ads on my blog. I have tried a couple of plugins but have failed. Your help would be highly appreciated.

    @abishek

    Which plugin post? You mean list all the ones I use? If so, will do later in the week

    @Mark

    to be honest, boredom. I wanted something new to play with, as well as something to try a new few ideas

    @Eva

    I find it a lot easier to add code directly. An even better way to manage multiple ads is openads, which is great - you've just given me an idea for a post. thanks!

    @ Eva,

    Sounds like Everton is going to answer at length with apost, but to solve your problem right away?

    a. use a theme ... like Everton's TypoXP reloaded or DodhDosh's ProSense with the AdSense built in ... copy your ad code from adsense.google.com in place of the default adSense block sin the theme.

    b. use any theme with widgets, place a Text widget where you want your ad, copy your code for an AdSense block into into the widget, clcik save, done.

    Nice, I was hoping I'm gonna stumble on something like that. I removed the last one because post titles were not related the way I wanted them. These changes that, big time.

    Now I only need couple of hours to put the plugin on my blogs :)

    Hey Everton,

    Oh the shiny new related posts plugin - the "more intelligent" one - now that you've been running with it a while, what's the verdict?

    Is it really noticeably better?

    Would you still install it if you knew then what you know now?

    Thanks!!!

    @Dan and Jen

    Definitely - the matching is much better
