Be honest, the title got you excited right? Anyhow…three of my wordpress plugins have been neglected of late so I have taken some time to do some bug fixing, add some new features, and get them working with wordpress 2.3. These three are Download monitor, Comment spam stopper, and sidebar login widget.
Wordpress Download Monitor 1.6
The download monitor lets you upload files to let your visitors download, whilst tracking hits, and letting you easily output the download links in posts.
The 1.6 release has numerous bug fixes, and is fully compatible with wordpress 2.3.

Wordpress Comment spam stopper
The comment spam stopper plugin adds a simple question to the comment form to stop bots from posting junk comments. Very handy.
This release fixes the bug that made the comment disappear when clicking the back button. For some reason it happened when the anti-spam question was above the comment textarea, so I have moved the spam question below the comment form to fix.

Sidebar login widget
This plugin allows users to login to wordpress from the sidebar, as well as providing links to register.
In wordpress 2.3 some people noticed a cookie bug, I believe this is now fixed.

Looks good Mike! I’m working on creating a widget/gadget that can pull in feeds from several web sites. So for example if a user likes Smashing Magazine, Boag World, A List Apart etc (to name 3) they can get the latest posts alerted to them when they click on the app. I really want to make this customizable so the user can choose what feeds they want - thats going to be a bit tricky
Im using Adobe AIR with a little bit of Flash also involved. When I get it up and running I will write a tutorial how I did this so anyone who stops by my site can have a go.
Great site BTW!

Just tried the sidebar plug in, very nice - good work! You should use dramatic titles in the future.

I get the cookie error on every first login attempt. Then, when I immedialtely try again, I get logged in. Plugin version 1.1. WP 2.3.
I would like to be able to disable to cookie test altogether. If cookies aren’t available then there can be no login. The reason would either be wrong user name, wrong password or no cookies. Users will have to find out by themselves.

Great useful plugin that I must admit!! Aye! But one thing thats bugging me in its usage is that the colors dont blend with my sidebar….
Is there a way to fix that? If you can let me know, I will be most thankful to you… Cheers!
