I understand what you saying, but you trying to move more responsibility to developers rather then proposing feature where those million users without any coding skills could be asked to contribute back.

Right now you have compatibility (on the bottom of plugin page sidebar), if at least 1 in a 100 would select and vote for right version combination, you probably won’t have hard time downloading and installing something that is not working unless you really want to try it for yourself.

Having star review data, compatibility, plugin last update date and probably some other relative data one could come up with pretty good algorithm for plugin listing. Even broken versions could be filtered out before displaying to the end user.

I would suggest improve plugin page (not on the website but in cms) in the following ways:

1. When user deletes plugin ask him if the plugin was working or not compatible with his current WP version.
2. When user opens plugin listing page (CMS) randomly show message like “Do you like plugin xyz? Would you like to leave review on www.ads-software.com about it?” or something like that. Once user clicks the link he won’t be presented the same message (to rate this plugin) again.
3. Improve plugin search (add new in cms) so those incompatible are no longer listed (if not done yet).

How this should benefit everyone? Developers get reviews and evaluate how users perceives their product, so they can actually improve it. Users are no longer have to install 100 plugins to get one working because all non-compatible plugins are already marked down and no longer listed in add plugin search list.

As a developer I would probably instantly discontinue all plugins on WordPress if this would get compulsory. Developers give away plugin that could cost hundreds or thousands in labour for free and instead of a single review per 1000 downloads you see these complains about how the quality is bad and how dev’s should devote more time to make ungrateful users happy. Write strongly opinionated review for each plugin you’re using, participate in discussion board by reporting bugs or sharing your insights/suggestions and you will get the quality you want.

If you not satisfied with free plugins there is plenty of folks out there who offers premium/subscription based/etc solution, you will get you features added, you will get your support and there will be someone out there listening to all your complains about it. Don’t want to pay? Well, create your own awesome 24/7 supported plugins and see how that will turn for a living. Everyone wants to get premium quality for free, but devs also have to make a living, and trust me 99% of these free plugins never nor will they make a dime.

Most clients especially not in IT field have little knowledge about WordPress or software life cycle in general. The only thing they care is their website and that it works and the last thing they want is update on something they already got used to. As I said earlier, its not an issue for me, but for many of my clients it will be and thats the problem that seems to be not address when introducing the change without a option to stay with old theme.

WordPress is very popular CMS and drastic visual changes will definitely affect a lot of people, so was it that hard to include old theme as an option and let people choose? I guess not, but it seems that development is focused more on developers then on end users who prefer little (NOT DRASTIC) changes over the time.

Well if nobody will come up with plugin to set admin design back to good all days I’m going to be one of those folks with coding skills and preference for 3.7 admin design. Not that I care but my clients will surely do and they going to give me hard time about this unwanted unrequested change…

Why not leaving the option for 3.7 design even if its not default. I mean its all good to move forward but you need to leave option to roll back especially when you have like 1M+ blogs around the web who are willing to keep up with bug fixed and so on, but don’t want to get their admin interface ruined :/

Hi,

At the moment there are no ways to achieve that, but you can store that information in description/note field.

I’m already rewriting entire plugin to include more functionality to manage not only financial data but also bring more business and accounting features to it. This might take another couple of weeks as my schedule is occupied with commercial products but once plugin is out you would be able to achieve those goals in several different ways.

So stay tuned and don’t loose the hope. haha ??

Cheers!

Simple Video Gallery has two different shortcodes to accommodate single video and playlist embedding into the blog post or custom page.

Shortcode for single video: [svgvideo]
Parameters:

width=”560″ width of the video (560px)
height=”315″ height of the video (315px)

Shortcode embed playlist: [svgplaylist]
Parameters:
id=”1″ playlist id as given in the list

Examples:
[svgvideo id=”1″ width=”560″ height=”315″]
[svgplaylist id=”1″]

Ok. Thanks!

Seems to be working great! One more question, will these change will be include in the upcoming releases or I should lock plugin to this development version to avoid any problems in future?

> Just to make sure. You add tags using the “tags” metabox on the right side when editing a post.
Yes, I’m using tags metabox – a complete standard wordpress widget for posts/CPT.

> Do the tags appear in the list and then disappear when you save the post?
Yes you can see all of them when added, but once you click publish or update some of them simply disappear. I think it might be that the ones not available in drop down/autocomplete list are not added as expected.

Does it happen when creating new tags or when choosing existing ones or both?
> Looks like when choosing existing tags though there is ~2k tags so I can guarantee 100% that it affects all.

Is always only the last one saved ? Or did you experiment different situations?
> The order don’t really matter, its just some of them are not saved. I could add it as first or as last its has something to do with tag or some of its properties (languages meta data?)

Could you make tests with only Twenty Twelve and Polylang activated? If it does work, could you check if the conflict is coming from your theme or another plugin?
>Activated Twenty Twelve and the problem persists. There is no other plugins activated just Polylang and once deactivated it allows to save those tags I mentioned in first post.

Hi,

No it fails on standard posts as well. It might save some keywords but not all (refer to example in previous post).

You might figured it out, but otherwise you can ether login on your phpmyadmin and remove everything from wp finance table or click on the record in the listing and in the bottom right corner there is delete button ??

Hi iDesignCo,

So basically using $wpdb->base_prefix will sort all multisite problems? Will try to add patch asap ??

Will try release small update for collecting debug information so I could find whats wrong with your installation. Stay tunned ??

Hi j0schi,

Have you upgraded plugin, or its plain new installation? The reason im asking is that if you have upgraded the plugin all the records before upgrading wont have user_id in the table so there is no way of knowing who submitted it.

Also, I havnt tested the plugin running mustisite mode so that could be an issue.

Hi j0schi

I checked the latest installation on my server and everything seems to be fine. Could you please check the version you are running and provide full detail about your configuration.
