oEmbed is pretty great – it makes embedding things in posts a lot easier. The way it handles Flickr photos annoys me though – shouldn’t they be linked back to the Flickr photo page as Flickr asks in their community guidelines? This really simple plugin just links to oEmbedded photos using the provided URL.

When I tried to post a photo earlier today over at my little photo blog flickpress gave me a notice saying my API key was no good. I think Flickr does expire keys from time to time, so I checked my key. It looked correct so I did some further testing. I finally figured out [...]
As expected, I found a bunch of bugs when testing the album. The biggie is that WordPress doesn’t make “real” attachment pages for attachments that don’t have parents. To make things really interesting, it does make sort-of attachment pages for logged-in users, but not for visitors. So, this version fixes the problem by linking directly [...]
While the uploading parts of Photopress aren’t very useful anymore, I still like some of the other features, such as the album and random image widget. So, this plugin adds an album, a widget, and a shortcode to display the images in your media library.
If you’re migrating from the old Photopress and used the migrate [...]
Like Photopress, Filez isn’t all that useful now that the built-in uploader works so well. If you’ve been using Filez tags though, you’ve needed to keep Filez active so your old links would continue working. This version of Filez adds a migration tool to pull files into the Media Library, replacing all tags with links [...]
Exporting my media library files to S3 with W3 Total Cache has gone mostly smoothly, with one exception – S3 replaces plus signs in filenames with the urlencoded equivalent, breaking links on the blog that still expect the plus sign in the filename.
I know what you’re thinking – “Who puts a plus in a filename??” [...]
I’ve been trying out various WordPress caching plugins in an effort to improve page loading performance and reduce resource usage on my virtual private server. I started with WP Super Cache but quickly learned that it doesn’t work well with with DreamHost PS. Next I tried Hyper Cache and DB Cache Reloaded. While the DB [...]
Thanks to Steven for telling me about this issue!
Lightbox 2 has a cool feature where it’ll automagically add code to images in your posts so they’ll work with Lightbox. This is great until it runs into the Photopress album and breaks stuff. To fix this easily, you can turn off the auto-lightbox feature in the [...]
The long-awaited migration release – this version adds some new tools at Tools:Photopress:Maintain that can be used to pull your Photopress images into the Media Library and then replace your Photopress tags with links to those files in the Media Library.
First, you can now migrate Photopress images into the Media Library. Moving images into the [...]
Based on some great feedback and testing from Vac I’ve updated Birthdaze so it should now properly translate dates (month and days of the week). Date formatting is also now done with standard PHP date formatting strings, so you’ve got complete control. See the readme for more information and http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php details on how to get [...]
