Official plugin repository gets welcome search improvements
No comments · Posted by Jonny in WordPress News, WordPress Plugin Development
It is wonderful that WordPress plugin developers are given a place to host their plugins in the form of the official WordPress plugin repository, but the only thing that has annoyed me about this is how bad the search is… or was until now!
Following hot on the heals of the huge WordPress update that was 2.7, the team have released the next point upgrade – WordPress 2.7.1 which features the following main fixes:
- Post and Page revisions do not respect time zone offset
- Invalid comment feeds
- XMLRPC returns category name instead of category description
- Theme preview fails when theme in subdirectory
- Tag cloud order priority
- Hierarchy issues with wp_list_categories
- Namespace missing in Atoms-Comments Feed
- Canonical redirect of feed URLs
- Contributor level users could delete all spam
- Allowing Word 2007 to retrieve categories
- “Selected” argument doesn’t work for “none” and “all” options in wp_dropdown_categories template tag
- Draft Saved current time doesn’t match timezone while editing
- IE7 bug fixed for approved and unapproved comments in All Comments list
- Multiple categories feeds repaired
- Empty feeds for MT imports
- Post drafts published in the past
