Plugin Database Update (v. 1.2)
October 20th, 2004 | Filed under WordPressUpdate:: latest WPPM news are here (doesn’t affect wp-plugins.net)
A new version of WP Plugins Manager with many, many new features…
- A “filter” function (advanced search to come soon).
- More plugin meta-data and miscellaneous cosmetic changes (One-click installable plugins appear in green now).
A brand new RSS 2 Feed with every updates and new versions, straight from the DB!
But the most important improvements are not visible in the frontend, check out wp-plugin-mgr (temporarily taken offline, see note a the top) for the full experience (if you already installed it, just overwrite the old file with this one)
- Now keeps track of all installed plugins (including those not in the DB).
- “Filter” function.
- Changelogs available for plugins that have been updated.
- Lots of cosmetic changes and more metadata for each plugin.
- One-Click Upgrade when a new version is available.
- More and more plugins available through One-Click install (new options made available to developers make it easier for them).
- One-Click install support plugin auto-configuration (no need to edit these source files manually anymore).
Read the FAQ for more details.
WP Users: help the DB grow, contact the developers of your favorite plugins and ask them about adding them into the DB (it only takes a few minutes), and recommend they take the extra time to provide a One-Click archive!
A lot fo new stuff for Plugin Developers in the Developer Backend tools:
- More fields available, miscellaneous bug fixes.
- Added an “Updates” table (not entirely completed yet): currently allows you to provide a changelog when releasing new versions of your plugins.
- Improved “One-Click Install” options: now lets you easily define a set of preferences that will be asked to the user at install time (no need for him to edit the files). Check out the detailed explanations in the Dev FAQ.
Note to all the WP Plugin Developers: Packaging your plugin to be One-Click installable is really easy, barely requires anything in most case, please take the extra time to do it, as it will ensure many more users are able to try your plugin.
Many more to come (feel free to post suggestions).

People… sorry if I may sound a bit crude, but WPPM is currently off-download and off-support (has been for the past month): the latest version had many things broken, and I simultaneously realized that I just didn’t have the time to take care of it any more.
Please read the message linked at the top of this post: http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/wppm/
Normally, every single download links have been removed. If you have found a download link on one of my page that still let you download WPPM, please let me know so I can remove it as well.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
The necessary plugin (:
It is established easily and perfectly works.
Thank u so much!
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone could help. I did something stupid and started my blog using a numerical archive system, and now I'd like to change it so that the post title is part of the URL for SEO reasons. Is there any WordPress plugins that anyone knows of that could switch it without sending Googlers to invalid pages? Maybe some sort of redirector to the correct page?
Thanks.
