Fix Broken Plugins with WordPress 2.9

December 30, 2009 · Posted in WordPress · 1 Comment 

Ever since I upgraded to WordPress 2.9, some of the plugins no longer working.

Some plugins will simply showing an error, You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page, when you accessing the Settings page.
WordPress Error

I tried to contact those plugin developers, however, many no longer update their plugins.

So, I decided to look into the code myself. And here is the small trick to make them working again.

Goto Plugins menu, use the Editor to open the plugin source code. Search for the hook, admin_head.
WordPress

Change the hook name to admin_menu, and click save.
WordPress

Now, your plugins should work again. Note that, this steps may not solves all the broken plugins.

By the way, if you schedule your posts in advance and have some WordPress cron jobs running (like backup, RSS, ping, etc), then might be worth to learn how to fix them. If not, just wait for WordPress 2.9.1, should be out soon.

SciTE Text Editor for Linux

December 22, 2009 · Posted in Linux · Comment 

I used Notepad++ text editor at work, which running on Windows XP. Notepad++ has lots of advanced features, like edit multiple documents at the same time, auto-detection of file changes while opening the file, tabbed document interface, also support syntax highlighting and many more.

I was looking for similar text editor for my Fedora 12 machine, though it can run on Linux using WINE environment. But I don’t like too much WINE.

Just come across this open source editor:SciTE, which based on the Scintilla editor component. Notepad++ is also using the Scintilla editing component.

SciTE
Using SciTE to edit PHP files of WordPress theme.

SciTE is a powerful text editor, there are extra configuration files that can enhance SciTE for various languages and APIs. Also, Scintilla includes many useful features when editing and debugging source code. These include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips, etc …
