What happened to the WordPress Fast Secure Contact Form plug-in?!

Aaron Belchamber — Sun, 24 Sep 2017 13:13:45 +0000

Mike Challis, the long-standing original author of the “Fast Secure Contact Form” plug-in posted an article here about what suddenly happened to the plug-in he made available for WordPress users for so long. Shame, because this was a great, stable plug-in and it always seemed to work no matter what kind of theme you used. […]

It was bound to happen, the very reliable Mesocolumn WordPress theme finally made an entry in a website’s fatal error logs.

New update to WordPress “Insert Script” plug-in available for WordPress PHP developers

Aaron Belchamber — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:12:52 +0000

I added some new improvements to the “Insert Script” WordPress plug-in. You can now declare a JSON string and it will parse it out as $json_vals_arr, an array that gets passed directly to your external PHP script. You can also declare “strings” instead of “vals” as a GET URL string like: “strings=’variable1=value1&variable2=value2&etc=andSoOn'”. To download the […]

WordPress: Texturize shortcodes?! I thought I heard it all

Aaron Belchamber — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 12:37:56 +0000

Sometimes, I wonder if the WordPress community doesn’t create some over-complication of things just because it can. I came across the term “texturizing” when I was developing another WordPress plug-in. I ignored the warning before but figured it warranted a second look. After all, it sounds like it could affect something on one of our […]

“Insert Script” Simple WordPress Plug-in

Aaron Belchamber — Sat, 11 Jul 2015 23:44:26 +0000

The “Insert Script” Simple WordPress Plug-in uses an “insert_script” shortcode to insert external scripts into WordPress content. I developed a simple WordPress plug-in that allows WordPress owners to call and execute external scripts from within their web root folder. It can be HTML, Javascript, CSS, or even PHP that executes first. You can even pass […]

Updating WordPress footers when Jetpack infinite scroll is enabled

Aaron Belchamber — Sat, 16 May 2015 21:14:59 +0000

It’s inevitable when you install Jetpack that some things on your site will need to be re-updated. I found this out when I installed Jetpack and couldn’t find the footer overrides so the site was showing the “Proudly powered by WordPress” message at the bottom. Gotta love Jetpack by WordPress‘s “infinite scroll” feature though — […]

How to Bulk Upload Files to the WordPress Media Library with FTP without Writing Crazy CRON Jobs

Aaron Belchamber — Sun, 08 Mar 2015 11:13:31 +0000

I’ve seen some interesting solutions to making sure files that get uploaded outside of WordPress that are meant to be digested by WordPress get handled. Scripts, plug-ins, etc. The crux of the problem stems from the fact that if you FTP files into your WordPress site’s “uploads” directory, those files won’t show up. That’s because […]

The newest version of WordPress is 4.1 and it keeps getting better and more convenient to upload and embed videos on your website. Just a note of caution, however!
