WordPress 3.0 ok!

NOW WITH ABILITY TO CREATE UNIQUE CONTENT

Create a complete unique new post on a random old one and promote it to the top of your blog.

It is really easy to handle and self-explanatory.

Compared to other plugins which do pretty much the same my plugin uses the build in functionality of WordPress’ own “cronjob”. This makes the whole part much more stable and (what is even more important) bypasses workload away from the server.

Every promotion is registered in a log file.

FAQ

How do I spin the title and the content?

That requires a bit of handwork. You can manually add multiple synonym versions of any sentence and any word you want. That is done by using the characters |, { and }. I give you an example:

Hello, my name is {Jack|Jim} and I love {Tennis|Golf}.

Using this spinning instructions sentence will generate this four different result sentences every time your article is promoted:

• Hello, my name is Jack and I love Tennis.
• Hello, my name is Jack and I love Golf.
• Hello, my name is Jim and I love Tennis.
• Hello, my name is Jim} and I love Golf.

So, with a little bit of extra afford you are able to create a complete unique post every time.

Just add as many synonym sentences as you like between the curly brackets ”{“, “}” and separate each synonym sentence by Pipe “|”.

You can next your sentences as well:

Hello, my name is {Jim|{Handsome|Ugly}Joe}.

Will result in:

• Hello, my name is Jim.
• Hello, my name is Handsome Joe.
• Hello, my name is Ugly Joe.

IMPORTANT: Please post this spinning instruction sentences in the extra Old-Post-Spinner meta box of WordPress (see the screenshot) and NOT into the normal text and content form fields

What will happen if I only want to spin the title or the content?

No problem. If you only fill in spinning instructions on the title, then only the title will be spinned. The content won’t change. Same with the content, if you only want the content to be spinned, than leave the spinning instructions on the title empty.

Is there anything I should be aware of? Any limitations?

Yes! This plugin should no be used with permalink structures that include dates.

What are the best practice values?

They are installed as default values. Minimum interval: 12 hours, Random interval: 4 hours, Post age: 14 days. But maybe you should experiment with your own values. It’s up to you.

What date will the promoted posts get?

Posts promoted to first position will get the current date. Posts below first position will be placed right in the middle of the enclosing posts.

Why should I use a category to ignore from promotion?

Some posts are simply not meant to be spinned. Especially if they are date-related. E.g. you should place posts with news into an omitted category.

But how do I hide the category from my blog?

If you don’t want this category to appear in you blog you can use the “AVH Extended Categories” plugin.

How can I recover the original dates?

All original dates are stored as custom fields. The name is “ops_original_pub_date”.

How can I support you?

That is nice of you. You can donate via Paypal.

How can I promote my newly dated posts to twitter now?

I think you should consider to use a service like twitterfeed.com. It will pickup your promoted posts and send status messages to twitter.

Changelog

1.2 (16.06.2010)

ability to insert geodata in frontpage, pages or posts only
creating function to place data manually into templates

Mit diesem Plugin von Alex King kann man sich über 404-Fehlermeldungen (File not Found) des Webservers informieren.

Diese Informationen kann man sich per E-Mail schicken lassen oder als RSS-Feed abonieren.

Dieses Programm ist nützlich, wenn man grundlegende Einstellungen an WordPress vorgenommen hat: Pfade, Permalinks oder gar die Domain selbst. Normalerweise müsste man die Apache-Log-Files lesen, um festzustellen, ob es Zugriffe von außerhalb auf nicht existierende Dateien gab. Mit diesem Plugin ist dies nicht mehr nötig.

Die Installation ist narrensicher. Hochladen, aktivieren, E-Mail-Adresse eintragen, Fertig.

Sie finden das Plugin unter: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/404-notifier/

Ich werde demnächst noch über das Smart-404-Plugin in Ergänzung schreiben, das es ermöglicht, eine individualisierte 404-Fehlermeldung zu erstellen.

WordPress 3.0 ok!

Jeder, der sich mit WordPress beschäftigt und Permalinks nutzt, wird früher oder später bemerken, dass WordPress Umlaute verschluckt. Aus “Überraschungsei” wird dann “Uberraschungsei” oder aus “Anleitung: Verzeichnisse löschen” ein “anleitung-verzeichnisse-loschen”. Das sieht alles andere als schön aus und ist außerdem falsch.

Wer also nicht ständig die URL von Hand korrigieren möchte, kann hier mein Plugin verwenden. Es nimmt automatisch folgende Umwandlungen vor:

ä -> ae, ö -> oe, ü -> ue

Ä -> Ae, Ö -> Oe, Ü -> Ue

und ß -> ss

Download wp-cleanumlauts2

Ich habe das WP-CleanUmlauts-Plugin von Carsten Albrecht dahingehend angepasst, dass – dem Duden entsprechend – aus ‘ß’ ein ‘ss’ gemacht wird.

Carsten Albrecht selbst hat als Vorlage das o42-clean-umlauts-Plugin von Michael Renzmann genommen.

Bei Problemen oder Fehlern kann man sich jederzeit bei mir melden. Kommentare sind herzlich willkommen.

Dieses Plugin von Oliver Schlöbe erweitert die Artikelübersicht von WordPress um einige nützliche Eigenschaften, die einem besonders beim massenhaften Abarbeiten von Artikeln die Arbeit erleichtern.

Durch Ajax-Funktionalität muss man nicht erst lange warten, bis sich die Seite neu aufbaut. Man kann bereits die näschte Aktion ausführen (bspw. einen Artikel mit einem neuen Tag versehen), während ein anderer Artikel im Hintergrund gelöscht wird.
