Important notice for wordpress download monitor users

April 25, 2008 | Published in: Out of the Blue | Tags: 6

I recently discovered wordpress automatic updates for plugins delete the plugin’s directory. This has severe implications for the plugin because downloads will be lost. To solve this I have had to move the folder outside of the wp_download_monitor directory. Therefore if you use automatic updates please back up your downloads, or move them into wp_content/uploads before updating the plugin.

I will update the plugin tomorrow, this should give some notice and let you backup your files.

    That would explain things! I had just assumed that no one had been downloading in the last week!

    I am re-uploading to wp-content/uploads now – will this sort things, or do I need to do anything else?

    Thanks

    • Closing the Forums

      Just posting to let current users know that I’m closing the forum on Blue-Anvil. This is mainly due to spam-registrations getting out of hand and being a general nuisance. I will be posting good topics as FAQ items within posts if applicable.

      Please note that you can still post and get help for my plugins/themes by posting on the wordpress.org website.

    • Show off your MiniCard!

      Are you a user of the WordPress MiniCard theme? Its been downloaded over 14,000 times so far!

      If you have used it as-is, made your own child-theme or done something creative with it, please show off your MiniCard’s in the comments, I’d love to see how the theme is being used!

    • Spam Stopper updated for WordPress 3.0

      My Spam Stopper plugin has been updated for WordPress 3.0 (version 3.1.3) – you can grab it here. Sorry this update took longer than my other plugins but this one gets less lovin’ – if you want to change that feel free to donate, spread the word, or rate it on the WordPress.org plugin page.

    • SexyBookmarks & Tr.im

      Just a notice to users of the brilliant http://www.sexybookmarks.net/ plugin by shareaholic – If you use tr.im (as I have on a few client sites) be aware tr.im has ceased operation so you may see errors on your blog or in your source code; it screwed up the background and headings on one of my blogs.

      To fix, go to sexybookmarks options, switch services in the “Which URL Shortener?” box, and tick the box to reset all short urls. Once done, your blog should return to normal.
