Plugin Compatibility Beta

The number one reason people give us for not upgrading to the latest version of WordPress is fear that their plugins won’t be compatible. As part of our continuing efforts to make WordPress core, plugin, and theme upgrades as painless as possible, Michael Adams developed and launched a beta of a new “Compatibility” feature in the plugin directory, powered by your votes. When viewing a plugin in the directory, select a WordPress version and a plugin version from the drop-downs. If there has been feedback about this WordPress / plugin version combination, we’ll show you what percentage of responses marked that combination as compatible vs how many marked it as incompatible.

Compatibility: Your Setup: (WordPress Version drop-down) (Plugin Version drop-down). Log in to vote. The Concensus: 44% negative, 56% positive

If you log in, you’ll be able to help us gather this information! Just select a WordPress version / plugin version combination and click the “Works” or the “Broken” button. Please note that this shouldn’t be used to report minor issues with a plugin. You should mark a plugin as “Broken” only if its core functionality is truly broken when run on the specified WordPress version.

Compatibility: Your Setup: (WordPress Version drop-down) (Plugin Version drop-down). (Broken button) (Works button). The Concensus: No data

Right now we’re just in information gathering mode. So get out there and vote! Don’t just vote on broken plugins… cast a “Works” vote for every plugin that works on the version of WordPress you are using. This can help improve the signal-to-noise ratio in our data and prevent a few mistaken “Broken” votes from weighing too heavily.

For developers, we’re now including this data in our API. The plugin_information action now returns a “compatibility” member with the multidimensional array format:

array( {WP version} => array( {plugin version} => array( {% of reporters who say it works}, {# responses} ) ) )

If the API knows which version of WordPress you are using (for example, if you are making this query using the plugins_api() function from with WordPress), the API will only return compatibility information for your version of WordPress.

Eventually, we’d like to gather this compatibility feedback from within WordPress, allowing you to vote directly from your plugins admin screen. The ultimate goal is to use this information to inform you of plugin incompatibilities with a new version of WordPress during the upgrade process. For that to be useful we need a large set of high quality compatibility data. Start voting!

Help desk software Hesk

Help desk software written in PHP with a MySQL database. Hesk is a nice FREE alternative to all the big (read: expensive and resource intensive) help desk solutions.Hesk is rich with features, including unlimited categories, staff with customizable privileges, customizable fields, canned responses, fully-featured knowledgebase (FAQ), e-mail notification and much more.This script can be easily translated to any language, has customizable header, footer and style files. Since it comes with open source code at no charge you can basically customize it to your specific needs as long as you can code in PHP (or hire someone to do it).I would recommend this to anybody looking for a good support ticket system. This is the type of script you would expect to pay a decent amount for.

[Free] New Free Web Host with Free Domain Hosting

A web host has been added to the Free Web Hosts with Free Domain Hosting. This one provides 110 MB of disk space, 10 GB of traffic, PHP (with limitations), the ability to host your own domain name, etc.

Sorry, I know that the list of free web hosts on that web page is getting a bit short nowadays, what with the frequent abrupt closure of free web hosts. I'll try to add more as time permits. As the maintainer of that list, I can tell you that free web hosts close very frequently, sometimes within a month or two of adding a new entry, so keeping that list up-to-date and populated is a big hassle. If you can afford it, it's really better to just go with a commercial web host. Just saying.
