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.

Poll: Filter based on coming from specific URL

Today someone asked me at the WordPress Forum if it would be possible to create a module in Dynamic Widgets that adds a filter based on coming from specific URL within the website. I answered that I like the idea, but I’m not so sure it would be used very much. To see how other users think about it, I created a poll.

So, what do you think?

The poll is closed
