Wordpress 2.2 is now out, with some great features such as built in widgets. Check it out.
Just a head-up that the Download monitor, spam stopper, and contact form, all function fine and dandy.

With the release of wordpress 2.8 some people are experiencing out of memory php errors along the lines of:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 228968 bytes)
You may also be seeing pages fail to load fully (for example the wordpress admin dashboard) if php error messages are hidden. I’ve already had one case where we thought certain plugins were to blame but in fact it was just out of memory. A possible fix (which worked in the previously mentioned case) is to add:
@ini_set('memory_limit','64M');
to your wp-config file. Has anyone else encoutered this error?
I have updated the jQuery Curvy Corners plugins (both versions) with jQuery 1.3.2 support and other enhancements. The beta 2 version is looking good and is working in all version of IE, Opera, and Firefox (as far as I can tell).
You can grab the latest files from Google Code here. Enjoy.
It was going to be a paid add-on, but today I had a change of heart and bundled it with the newest version of download monitor. The add-on lets you make a download page using a shortcode; it lists your downloads/categories with full sorting, pagination, and search functionality. Not bad eh? See the documentation topic to see full instructions for usage, or see my download page to see it in action.
And if you use it, please consider making a donation to ensure the continued development of the plugin!
First, I’ve implemented a support forum to Blue Anvil mainly for plugin support and ideas which can be found here. Hopefully this will make supporting my plugins easier. Feel free to add to the discussions (there is also a general web design forum too).
Secondly, I’ve added a demo of the new download page add-on I’m making for Download Monitor. This will be a paid add-on and it would be cool to get any feedback or suggestions from anyone who would like such a feature. My download page is here. Please leave feedback on the forum or in the comments.

The fellow who reported it is pretty convinced it is an issue with WP 2.2. Not sure myself, but I don’t think it’s the plugin as several 2.2 users are using it without issue. Only two people that I know of had this issue so whatever it is is pretty bizarre.

Any answer to this, as I am person 3 then. Contact form has worked for me on WP2.2, so it may be the combination of plugins/theme. Will investigate further.

For the info of anyone else who has this issue: My problem came from a combination with the ‘Ultimate Tag Warrior’ plugin. The UTW plugin seems to be leaving a record in the wp options table with a blank option_name. Delete out this record, and the contact form works again without error. Save the options for UTW and the blank record is back and the error for the contact form.

I had the same problem as Ernie, and the same fix worked for me. I think UTW’s interaction with WP2.2 is causing the contact form not to work.

I’m having the same problem and am also running the UTW plugin. I would like to try the fix that has been suggested by Ernie, but I don’t know where to find the ‘wp options table’. Where is it?

Use phpmyadmin to look, its a database table

Thanks Mike – I found it, deleted the record, and now the contact form works fine. It’s a great plugin, BTW.

I know this is an old topic – but my contact form was just reported to me as not working. I don’t actively update the blog any more, but it’s running Mike’s contact plugin on WP 2.2.1.
The problem certainly seems to be caused by UTW, which for some strange reason puts an entry in the wp_options with no option_name property. For me it was option_id 300, but it might be different for others.
Just load up the table in phpMyAdmin and sort by the option_name column. It pops up at the top, then just select it and delete it.
All working for me now – so thanks!
