Wordpress Notifier Now Compatible with Bad Behaviour

December 14th, 2008  |  Published in Wordpress Notifier  |  Comments

I have just released [Wordpress Notifier](http://www.wpnotifier.com) 0.4. It fixes a problem with incompatibility with the Bad Behavior plugin.

Wordpress Notifier was doing nothing wrong. It is just that Bad Behavior is very aggressive in blocking web clients. Any web client with “Wordpress” in its user agent name is blocked. I had to change the user agent to “wpnotifier” instead of “Wordpress Notifier”.

A bit thanks goes to [Mathew](http://mathewwithonet.com/) for identifying the problem and helping me debug it.

Wordpress Quick Reply Template Plugin

December 5th, 2008  |  Published in Wordpress, Wordpress Plugins  |  Comments

The quick reply feature introduced in Wordpress 2.7 is great but it lacks the ability to set the default test of a reply.

This plugin allows you to automatically set the text of a comment reply. For example if your reply template is:

%FIRST_NAME%,

and the comment authors name is:

Paul William

Then the default text in a reply would be:

Paul,

It is that simple.
