The AWSOM Archive plugin for Wordpress has been updated to version 1.2.3 and is now available for download from the AWSOM.org website. This version has a fix in place for a conflict with the Share This plugin, and now does not display the Archive on any Share This page (the page shown instead of using the javascript popup interface). If you are not using Shre This you do not need to upgrade to this version.

Wordpress 2.3.2 has just been released, and it contains critical updates that fix some vulnerabilities in how Wordpress creates Draft entries. Anyone using the Wordpress 2.3.x line should immediately go to Wordpress.org and download the new version. Unless you’ve done something strange to your core files all you need to do is overwrite your current install with the new version to successfully upgrade–then go to wp-admin/upgrade.php in your web browser to finalize the database update.

Hi everyone, it didn’t quite make it for Christmas, but the new AWSOM News Announcement 1.4.0 Beta 1 plugin for Wordpress is now available for download from it’s AWSOM.org Product Page. This version now has Multi-News saving capability, as well as Multi-News display capability. You can hold on to important news posts and activate them whenever you need to display them. You can set them to display in a specific order by assigning them a display position.

As is typical with all Beta products, be aware that bugs or issues can arise, so consider testing it out first offline before putting it live on your site. You should also read the Beta News Page to get more information about the changes in the plugin.

If you hit any major issues, find bugs, or have feedback, please send it in using my Contact Page.

Hi all, I just posted a quick update to the AWSOM News Announcement plugin to bring it to version 1.3.4. You can download it from it’s product page at AWSOM.org. This version is not the new version with multi-news capability, but is simply a bug fix release for the current version to fix an annoying admin area bug that displays a ” on the screen when using the visual editor. If you don’t use the visual editor then you don’t need to update to this version.

The next major release, version 1.4.0 is still being developed and I hope to have it out soon, but with all of the new changes it will probably take a bit longer than I hoped to get it out. (testing grows considerably more difficult when you can have multiple news areas with different content using different posting styles).

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that I am still alive, but bogged down in last minute holiday work. I’m working on the next release of the AWSOM News Announcement plugin right now, so I hope to get that out next week as a Christmas/New Year’s present to everyone :)

I may not post many updates in the next week or so though due to the tons of work I need to get done before the end of the year. I will however be available by email and contact form, and also checking Harknell.com and other locations in case people have support requests.

Happy Holidays everyone.
