How to sort posts by author in the newer, stupider WordPress

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008 I got annoyed with WordPress’ counterintuitive changes in version 2.5. Version 2.6 changes nothing I’ve noticed, except introducing a few new glitches. I haven’t really kept up with this post, where I was listing fixes and workarounds for it. Rather than try to keep it all in one (rather painful to read) post, I decided to make a tag – WordPress 2.5 sucks – which you can check for new ... READ MORE

Some fixes for WordPress 2.5 annoyances

Friday, April 18th, 2008 I’m discovering some plugins and patches that make WordPress 2.5 a lot less annoying. Remove Max Width – get back your full screen! No more wasted white space on the right!

Sort by Authors in Manage Posts – restores ... READ MORE

I made a modified version of it, which I was happy with until I saw Jabecker’s version, which put even more stuff in the sidebar. I modified it to add ... READ MORE

Dear WordPress: please change these things back

Sunday, April 6th, 2008 I like the new WordPress, but there are a couple of features that are really getting on my last nerve: The permalink saves as soon as you start typing the entry. I never choose a title before writing the post. This means the permalink saves as “http://bluemushrooms.com/876″ and I have to edit it after I write the title. It never used to save until you actually his “save” or publish, no ... READ MORE

The new WordPress 2.5

Friday, April 4th, 2008 The new version of WordPress 2.5 is simply awesome. (UPDATE: check the rest of this tag: WordPress 2.5 Sucks.) It loads the site faster for visitors (and weary shared servers), which is always my main concern. It’s also got some features I’ve been hungering for forever: Automatic updates!!!!! This is the Rolls Royce of the new features. Now when you see a plugin that needs to be updated, you can just click ... READ MORE
