I published the Real Global Terms and the SH Global Posts plugins today. It’s code I’ve had running for ages and have been promising to publish but never quite gotten round to it. Now it’s out, let the madness ensue…

I released version 0.7 of the WP Mail SMTP plugin a couple of days ago. To make support a little more manageable I’m going to switch the comments from the plugin page to a post for each version. So please ask in the comments here for all support questions related to version 0.7. If you’re using a previous version, please upgrade and then post your questions here!
Please be sure to look back at previous questions before posting here. If you’re having a problem where mails are not being sent, or anything of that nature, please post your debugging output. Send a test mail, then copy / paste the response into the comments. Remember to delete any passwords. I’d recommend you replace any @ symbols with something else (at), [at], #at#, etc.
Just released a new version of the WP Mail SMTP plugin. There were a stream of similar questions about one particular error message over the last few months. Hopefully this new version will provide more detailed debugging output. I’d recommend upgrading to anyone having problems. There are no bugfixes or security fixes in this update, so it’s not a priority release.
Update: I’ve released version 0.7 today as well. This version fixes a long-standing bug where the plugin would overwrite the from name and email, even if they had been set by another plugin (or WordPress itself). I recommend everyone update to 0.7 as soon as possible.
I successfully upgraded to WordPress 2.3 today. There were one or two glitches to start with, thankfully I had a full backup and was able to restore it quickly. Second time round it went fine. I’m now using WordPress’s own tagging system. Alas my tag cloud is not quite as pretty as it used to be, I’ll work on that!
I’m surprised by the continued success of Feedburner, the popular blog feed stats service. On the one hand, you get a great stats package, offload some traffic from your blog server, and it’s free. However, for those benefits, you give up control of your feed and you give up a share or all of the ad revenue.
With plugins like Google AdSense for Feeds WordPress users can put their own ads into their feeds. With a handful of feed stat plugins around, it must be possible to get all the benefits of FeedBurner without the downsides.
I suppose it’s one of those situations where they’ve “made it” sufficiently that using FeedBurner is the norm. That and they were just acquired by Google, uh oh, the G disease is spreading…
A few people reported problems with the WP Mail SMTP plugin. I’ve resolved a few bugs and added a new feature that allows you to set the From name and email address of all mail sent by the wp_mail() function. I’ve thoroughly tested this version (unlike previous versions, oops!) and I’ve released it for immediate update.
Please note: SMTP authentication does not work in version 0.2, I encourage all users to upgrade immediately.
