my shortcodes look like

[wpsf_product id=”23″]

or

[wprl_search mls_number=”123456″ template=”somefile.php”]

so what ends up happening, is when nextgen is enabled, when the shortcode gets parsed into $atts their value will be “123456” instead of just 123456. disabling nextgen removes this bug. Not saying its not something I’m failing to do correctly. I was hoping you had already heard of this.

could also be a wordpress bug.

well, for anyone that read this and cared. I’ve read elsewhere here in the forum that the powers that be don’t actually participate in the forum. So, I’ll prolly take this to the mailing list.

I have seen in the mailing list that caching and memory is a big deal to them and they are looking to do a huge deal of work on it this summer.

There are also apparently more advanced options in the use of get_option and update_option to prevent it from autoloading plugin data stored in options.

I guess what really is lacking is good documentation.

wow. I’m completely dumbfounded by this thread!

WP is free software. Well. Yes of course it is. However, the main WP developers ARE MAKING A LIVING OFF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aka wordpress.com

I hate these stupid arguments that its free so quit bitching.

Let me put it this way. WP gained a lot of popularity pre 2.5 This was due largely because of how easy it was to use. It did a lot of things really well. It became so popular that wordpress.com was created to commercialize the development.

Now lets look post 2.5. If you guys are indeed going to ignore the outcry of how awful 2.5 is (ok certain features are.) then I guarantee the following. WP will lose popularity. Someone else will do better. WP will become a has been. WP.com will start losing people and its ability to continue to pay people.

I would also be very surprised if those contributors to the WP code base weren’t making a decent living off of WP. I doubt they are doing it just because. I’m sure that the majority are doing it because they are leveraging WP to their own clients. If not, then it is likely they are leveraging it to the commercial success of their own site. Maybe there are a couple devs who simply are in it because its fun.

I really hope there are indeed folks with direct influence on WP listening to the people who make WP what it is. You are only as successful as your users.

Here. create a plugin with this content.

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Mem Usage
*/

function mem_init() {
$GLOBALS[“memused”] = “
memory usage after wordpress init: ” . memory_get_usage() . ” Bytes
“;
}

function mem_foot() {
echo $GLOBALS[“memused”];
echo “
memory usage after wordpress is done: ” . memory_get_usage() . ” Bytes
“;
print_r($GLOBALS);
}

add_action(“init”, “mem_init”);
add_action(“wp_footer”, “mem_foot”);
?>
