Qtranslate and it’s forks

With the latest version of Dynamic Widgets, qTranslate-X support was added in favor of the abandoned qTranslate and mQtranslate projects. Some DW users are (still) using mQtranslate which now gives errors in the DW admin. Also it turns out that also qTranslate-X has been abandoned. Or at least none of the projects are found in the repository anymore.

Therefor I’ve decided to (temporary) suspend support for qTranslate and it’s forks until a solution is in sight.

For the DW users who have an error because of qTranslate, can use a special version of DW I submitted to the repository that has support within DW of qTranslate and it’s forks suspended.

Dynamic Widget 1.5.11

A few days ago Dynamic Widgtes had been taken down from the WordPress Plugin Repository by the WordPress Admins because of a security flaw being found by Mika Epstein (Thanks Mika!). This is now fixed and therefor Dynamic Widget has been made available again.

Next to the fix for the security flaw a new feature has been added: Shortcodes. This feature has become available by the financial contribution of Nathan Wright of NW Consulting. Thank you very much Nathan!

Dynamic Widgets with qTranslate-X

Dynamic Widgets has had support for the now abandoned plugin qTranslate for a long time. Some time ago, qTranslate has been adapted by a few other folks and renamed to qTranslate-X. Dynamic Widgets has added support for qTranslate-X starting with version 1.5.10.

Unfortunately due to WordPress policies, the authors of qTranslate-X had to change some code. This resulted in a new incompatibility between qTranslate-X and Dynamic Widgets. For compatibility you can switch on a setting in qTranslate-X that makes Dynamic Widgets work again happily with qTranslate-X.

I quote one the authors of qTranslate-X in the WordPress Forum topic:
There is an option in qTranslate-X, “Compatibility Functions”, which enables back a list of functions with qtrans_ prefix: https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/faq/#CompatibilityFunctions

Of course, Dynamic Widgets will be changed so this setting will not be necessary anymore in a new version.

Dynamic Widgets 1.5.9

Much earlier then anticipated I’ve released version 1.5.9 of Dynamic Widgets. A small but quite annoying bug made me decide to release this version. Also I’ve been able to add a new feature to it which was requested quite a few times. Below the changelog:

  • Added support for IP range
  • Bugfix for URL and Pages module does not show the green checkmark and not showing the settings made
  • Bugfix for Single Post Catregory is saved wrong
  • Bugfix for Strict warning notice in author_module.php at line 42

New feature requests are always taken into consideration. But it happens quite a few times I get requests I’m not certain there would be an audience for it. For that kind of requests I will create a poll and see the response on it. Based on the outcome of the poll I’ll take the request in consideration again. Currently there is poll running about a feature request: Filter based on coming from specific URL.
