WordPress Plugins

See the list of plugins I’ve worked on.
If you have any support questions, please post them to the support forum found on each plugin’s home page (under “See what others are saying”). I will not answer questions posted here.
Notice: I have discontinued actively maintaining these plugins. Other priorities have arisen which have forced development to discontinue. Being open source and free, you are of course free to take the code and improve upon it; if you are a developer and would like to be added as a commiter to any of these plugins, please contact me.

Dear Weston,
Its nice to see all the hard work that you have put in and it is helping so many people. I am not a developer or a software guy, but have started my own blog and website. Your User Photo plugin for wordpress seems to be great, but since I have no knowledge of coding could you help with a step by step instruction on how your plugin can be integrated with the wordpress blog. Thanking you in anticipation
Best regards
Praveen
Trying to get User Photo to work on my comments, but I am failing. I put exactly what you type into my comments, right before comments link. I even tried both userphoto_comment_author_photo, and userphoto_comment_author_thumbnail with no sucess.
Hi Weston: Thanks for the super plugins.
I REALLY would like to use your Event Category in WP 2.5x, but am getting errors”
for example:
On the Widget Admin page:
Date format: (using hybrid PHP date format)
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: json_encode() in /mnt/web1/10/51/5389751/htdocs/red07/wp-content/plugins/events-category/widgets.php on line 156
I plan to utilize your plugin with Events Calendar, which sets up a good template for Events, but does not categorize them, or publish them in advance… everything is dated for the day of posting. Without your plugin, it looks like I will have no access to future posts.
I would be delighted to beta test for you on WP 2.5.1 etc….
many thanks

Hi Peter. I would like to have the Event Category plugin work in WP 2.5 too. Hopefully this summer I’ll find some time to work on it further. But the
json_encode()error that you’re getting is not due to my plugin, as I don’t make use of it there. The reason you are getting that error is because you are using PHP 4 and are using some other plugin that makes use ofjson_encode().Hi,
i got the same problem as Praveen.
Like your plugin but i’m a noob when it comes to coding.
Don’t know where to put in the code.
The plugin is activated and the photo is uploaded, only need a step by step manual now.
I’ve tried the wordpress forum but not much happens there.
Thanks for your time.

Hi
here is someone else who would LOVE to use your event category plugin with my WP 2.5 site!!!
I’m having some of the same issues as the above with the User Photo plugin. i have it installed and in my WP admin i can see the images for a user (like you show in the screenshot). but not in a comment in a post.
When i comes to the coding part i’m not the greatest, if you have a step by step of where and how to put the code that would be awesome!
thanks!!
I encountered the json_encode() error as well - the widget is using it at line 156 for the date formating. Because my server is on PHP4 I had to get the JSON.php class. I saved it to the event-category plugin folder and called it at the top of the plugin’s widgets.php file:
if(!function_exists(’json_encode’))
{
include_once(’JSON.php’);
$GLOBALS['JSON_OBJECT'] = new Services_JSON();
function json_encode($value)
{
return $GLOBALS['JSON_OBJECT']->encode($value);
}
function json_decode($value)
{
return $GLOBALS['JSON_OBJECT']->decode($value);
}
}
Seems to work - my widgets are back and I can administrate them normally.
I have a new error I can’t fathom: On the category page it is giving me:
WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC’ at line 1 for query SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS ID FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND post_date >= NOW() AND wp_posts.post_type = ‘post’ AND (wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’) GROUP BY /*EVENTS-GROUP-BY*/ ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC made by eventscategory_filter_posts_request
I am at a loss. It functions but the error isn’t pretty. It only occurs on the category view, single post views are fine - http://www.oldwailukuinn.com/events/?cat=3
I hope you can get this working with 2.6. I’m looking to use it on a couple of websites, but currently my hands are tied. Looks like a promising plugin, I hope to try it soon.
Another vote for getting Event Category to work for current Wordpress (2.6.3 at this time). This is a great way to write a plugin - using existing structure so that the administrator is used to the interface. Such a great idea but when I install, it disables the ‘my media; aspect of writing posts, and i wasn’t sure if it was even possible to use at all because i had to deactivate. I gotta find another way to have event calendar with images today.
Anyway, good luck and i hope you take on this project.
Glad to hear you don’t have Mexican related health-problems…
Finally I thought to have found a way to make future posts visible, but reading about this plugin I understand that it will not work in WordPress 2.7.1
Any chance you will make it work again?
Thanks,
Lawrence
@Rolograaf:
I may have time over the next month to make it work in WP 2.7. Thanks for the comment.
I posted a question earlier about having trouble outputting a list of co-authored posts for an author, but it’s still awaiting moderation. Just wanted to say that I’ve found a solution that works for me and I’ve updated the forum posts linked to in the original post.
Thanks again for your plugin!

Hi Weston,
I’m another user who would love to use the Event Category plugin. It’s a lovely, easy to administer plugin and its such a shame we cant make use of it! I hope we can soon though!
Thanks
Hi there,
thanks for the plugins, just setting up a blog on my site and trying to establish the best format. Wordpress seems to tick all the right boxes and there seems to be an abundance of themes and plugins available from people like yourself. I’m going to use the User Photo plugin, thanks very much for your hard work
