Here is first update of the spam fighting super powers GD Press Tools Pro got with previous version. This time you get the registrations panel to manually control all saved registration records and control banning of IP, username, email or email domain used for registration.
This wasn’t actually planned release, and it’s made out of necessity. I am very frustrated by the increasing number of spam registrations that my websites get, but once the spam registrations and spam blogs started to plague xScape info demo website, I decided to do something about that.
After the release of WordPress 3.0 RC1 last week, it’s time to update this plugin and include all the latest changes. Both lite and pro editions contain same changes, all done to include more options for both custom post types and custom taxonomies in WP 3.0.
OK, I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of cleaning my websites of spam registrations and spam blogs in case of multi site installations. And no matter what I tried, nothing really solves the problem. So, I decided to do something about that.
Mostly bug fixing release for both Pro and Lite edition. There were some problems with WP 2.8 / 2.9 and accidental use of function available from WP 3.0. Few more bugs are fixed, and the list widget improved with better list display function that will allow more options to be added later.
Brand new GD Press Tools 3.5 Pro has just been released and this version brings another major tool allowing you to remove inactive users. There are more new things in this version, including updated plugin icon, improvements to database tools and more.
This new release is focused on improving the taxonomies widgets. Both widgets are expanded with few more options to hide empty and exclude terms, and list widget now can display terms in the form of the drop down list with regard to the hierarchy.
Number of options for custom post types and taxonomies grew with latest WP 3.0, and the form got very long. So I decided to clean it up and add dropdown checkbox control for some elements. Both lite and pro versions are updated with new, cleaner forms.
Once again, specifications for custom post types and custom taxonomies is changed in WordPress 3.0 This time changes allow for more flexibility, but require many things to be updated in this plugin to take advantage of that. Both Pro and Lite editions are updated.
Every few months, about the time new WordPress is to be released, system requirements are again on the line and despite all discussions and facts presented by users, WordPress still maintains (the illusion) of support for PHP4, when that is far from the truth.
This is minor but critical update for last night released versions. There was a problem with committing files to SVN prior to releasing both Lite and Pro version, and last changes with a include line to load the file with additional functions failed unnoticed.
