Yet Another Troubleshooting Page Update
As AWSOM Pixgallery becomes more popular (thank you!) I have been receiving more info on corner cases where it does not work properly. Most of the time it is in regard to improperly set up server settings or other non-standard situations install situations. In particular, it appears that Windows IIS server versions of PHP often do not have the proper GD image library set up in place to allow image manipulation functions to occur. In this case, Pixgallery will either give a string of PHP errors, or the gallery page will not fully load. There are a ton of websites talking about this issue and how to resolve it to get GD installed, so google is your friend if you run an IIS server.
AWSOM Plugin Troubleshooting page updated
I’ve added a few new entries to the AWSOM Plugin Troubleshooting page to help explain a few issues that have been recently reported for some of the plugins. In particular there is a possible issue in regard to images hosted on external servers (like Flickr or Photobucket) and server security settings that can cause a page loading issue with Pixgallery.
I’m Teaching a WordPress Class at Katsucon
Hi everyone, I wanted to mention that I will be “teaching” a WordPress setup and install class at this year’s Katsucon convention. My panel is on Saturday February the 16th at 10pm. So this is the opportunity for anyone who has questions on WordPress, AWSOM plugins, or any other web development related stuff to come and get answers from me in person. I’d also like to point out that I’m helping sponsor a huge contest at Katsucon involving over 10 webcomics giving away one giant bundle of stuff to one lucky Katsucon attendee. The “Epic Webcomic Win” Contest page is over at my webcomic site Onezumi.com.
So now you have 2 huge reasons to go to Katsucon this year :)
AWSOM Pixgallery 4.4.5 released
The new AWSOM Pixgallery version 4.4.5 plugin for WordPress has been released and is available for download from the AWSOM.org website. This version fixes a few small bugs and adds in 2 new features. The first new feature is the ability to place Navigation arrows below images as well as above them. The other new feature is the ability to place custom CSS entries for your gallery through the admin interface. So you may now more easily customize the look of your gallery without editing your CSS files.
New minor Release of AWSOM Pixgallery this week
I just wanted everyone to know that a new minor update release for AWSOM Pixgallery will be coming out this week. I’m adding a few small features and some bug fixes to it and will release it after testing. This is NOT version 4.5.0, but will be 4.4.5, so it’s really more of a maintenance release with some small upgrades.
