Plugins Language Switcher

Plugins Language Switcher allows to use different language from WordPress default one for plugins back-end (admin settings pages). It is useful for example if your blog front-end works in English and you wish to work with plugins at admin back-end with your native language. Another variant of this plugin usage – is plugin translation file testing without changing of the blog language in wp-config.php.
Plugin scans your plugins directory and shows in the language selection drop down list those languages only which you have in your plugins directories.

May 9th, 2010

Silence is golden guard plugin is updated

SIG GUARD Updated

Next update v.1.5 is available for Silence is Golden Guard WordPress plugin. With the help of plugin users incompatibility with WP Super Cache plugin was discovered and fixed. The problem was that blog with WP Super Cache plugin active becomes unavailable after activating of SIG plugin. Analysis showed that index.php file with redirection directive in the wp-super-cache/plugins directory results in the endless redirection loop which block the blog front-end and admin back-end access. From version 1.5 SIG plugin checks if WP Super Cache is active and create then empty index.php file for the wp-super-cache/plugins directory without redirection directive. The incompatibility issue is resolved this way.

Next update v.1.4 is available for Silence is Golden Guard WordPress plugin. Checking if index.php file is SIG Guard plugin made file and can be rewritten is updated/enhanced in try to exclude rare cases when SIG Guard rewrites important index.php file, e.g. in the current theme folder.

This update is critical for new plugin users only.
Note to former users: if you wish to rebuild all your dummy SIG index.php files you need to delete that files manually before click “Rebuild All” button. As old index.php file does not contain SIG Guard stamp string, plugin should not update such file.

IP Logger 3.1 Review

IP Logger 3.1. Review

IP Logger 3.1. Review

It is the second post about IP Logger plugin I made. 1st one can be achieved here.
The main thing which I didn’t like in IP Logger the previous 2.8 version and had pointed it out in my review was a hidden use of external WEB service to get more details about blog visitor’s IP. Now IP Logger allows you to make the free choice: 1st – do not use any external services, 2nd and 3rd – select external service to use from 2 available options. Thus, plugin user is aware what and how the plugin does. Right decision.
