H2GD Part 32: Battling Akismet on make.wordpress.org
I’ve been trying to comment on a subject which is dear to my heart on make.wordpress.org The post in question is “WordPress: Post Meta team introductory meeting” But each time I tried to comment a little bit of whizzing happened and my post was sent directly to the bit bucket. I have no idea why! Am I a spammer?

H2GD Part 30: Responsive Web Design with oik-rwd
It wasn’t on my list ( H2GD Part 25: 15 projects for #wcukretreat 2013 ) but at the end of June, just before the #wcukretreat I started mapping out some ideas for dynamically generating CSS class definitions for block widths and heights. I’ve developed my first prototype of the code, as a new WordPress plugin called oik-rwd. I decided to test it on this site, with a simple change to the home page. But there were a couple of problems.

H2GD Part 29: Error establishing a database connection on WPMS local install
After updating a WordPress Multisite site to WordPress 3.6 and the latest versions of plugins that it used we noticed some strange results. I decided to create a local copy from the pre-update backup and try the process again. Unfortunately, I had difficulty getting the local install working since I kept getting

H2GD Part 25.7: oik i18n the lazy way – bbboing’ed WP on steroids?
After a discussion with Paul Gibbs at #wcukretreat about Internationalization (i18n) and Localization (l10n) of my WordPress plugins – he was reviewing my code for the oik-css plugin – I decided to bite the bullet and see what I needed to do for the oik suite of plugins. Here are the results of the first part of my investigation.

H2GD Part 28: More battles with wpautop() generating invalid HTML
When I was developing my oik-css plugin recently I once again suffered from strange results due to
wpautop()filter function processing of the “the_content” filter. Since thewpautop()filter function normally runs BEFORE shortcode expansion I was getting unwanted <p>’s, </p>’s, and <br />’s generated in the CSS content. …So my internal CSS styling was not working. I found a solution that had been discussed on stack overflow and implemented that asbw_better_autop(). Knowing how much trouble people have had withwpautop()processing I was concerned that there would be some side effects. I wasn’t that surprised when the solution failed.
