Best WordPress Plugins You Will Ever Need To Manage a Multi-Authored Blog

In blogging, the necessity of fresh and unique content is inevitable. But it is nearly impossible for a single person to come up with new and unique ideas every time. There are many constraints that prevent many blogger from being able to add fresh content to their blog on a regular basis, and because of which there is always an urge to seek guest authors or co-authors to write along with them.

Therefore, in this article, I have complied a list of the 15 best WordPress plugins you can have to manage your multi-authored blog efficiently.

WordPress vulnerabilities 09-07

This past week we have received many questions regarding the following article: http://mashable.com/2009/09/05/wordpress-please-upgrade/. It states that there is a bug going around that can affect older versions of WordPress. (The two newest releases are immune to the bug, but older versions are affected.) A lot of our users have asked if sites running WordPress for Joomla! are vulnerable and how to go about upgrading ‘corePHP’s version of WordPress to the newest release.

After a full review of the current vulnerabilities that affect WordPress, we have concluded that ‘corePHP’s distribution of WordPress is not affected because the data is handled through Joomla!.

We are currently developing the integration for version 2.8.4.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

WP4J! and WPMU4J! Releases

Excuse the extremely crammed title, but it stands for WordPress for Joomla! and WordPress MU for Joomla! Releases.

Unfortunately our releases do not include 2.8.x because there is still a lot of code that needs to be migrated over. However, our current releases (WP4J! 2.7.1.2 and WPMU4J! 2.7.1.1) fix a lot of bugs and add a few requested features for both extensions. This should significantly decrease the amount of support tickets you have to send in, making your job – and our job – much easier!

WordPress Video Embedding Plugin

Today a client and I were working together to get his website done. As some of you know, WordPress MU for Joomla! doesn’t allow the <embed> HTML tag, which means that the users can’t embed videos. Fortunately, the client found a WordPress Video Plugin. After testing it I realized that it works without any modifications, so I added it to the list of plugins for WordPress for Joomla! and WordPress MU for Joomla!

Hope this solution works for you.

Enjoy!

WordPress MU tag cloud module

I just finished a tag cloud module for WordPress MU for Joomla!. This module allows you to pick any blog ID and display the tag cloud for that blog. You can also pass the parameters that you want using this guide. Just make sure you are passing the parameters in this format: “name1=value1&name2=value2”.

This module is great if you are using the Sitewide Tags plugin.

Enjoy!
