Where Did Pretty Link Cloaking and the Pretty Bar Go?

September 24, 2010 by Blair Williams · 120 Comments

Pretty Link wasn’t the only plugin affected by this policy change, wordpress.org removed all plugins from the repository that allowed users to cloak links.

I’ve been working with the guys at wordpress.org this morning to get Pretty Link back on the repository. The only way to do this was to remove link cloaking, pretty bar and pixel tracking from the Pretty Link Lite versions 1.4.51 and beyond.

How will this change affect me?

Here are the facts you need to know about this significant change: [Read more...]

Anyone Can Use WordPress Hooks

May 18, 2010 by Blair Williams · 34 Comments

Hooks are one of the greatest features of WordPress — yet they are unseen by most WordPress users.

Okay, I’ll admit, hooks are only available in the code — but I believe they’re simple enough to be used by anyone technical enough to use a text editor and FTP.

WordPress has a really good Intro to Hooks and there are a couple of WordPress Hook databases out on the web too … but these might be a bit technical and overwhelming for many users wanting to customize their blogs.

This is my basic overview of what hooks are for and how they can make your life easier as a WordPress user. [Read more...]
