I have been working hard on a version 4.0 of my Related Posts plugin. I could use some help on the testing of the new version before properly releasing it. If you are interested in assisting me, please drop me a line.

New features include:

• Manual sorting (hooray!)
• Fixed dependancy of inclusion of wp-config.php, so those of you that store it outside the web root will now be able to use the plugin as well.
• Fixed widget so titles fit standards (doh!)

Version 3.0.1 fixes an HTML bug that would occur if there are no related posts and the “when there are no related posts display this text” option was selected.

Hooray! I have finally found the time to add some long awaited new features to my related posts plugin. I have listened carefully to your feedback and I know lots of you will be very happy with this great set  of improvements. — Read on

Some awesome stuff over at johnmayer.com; for Johns new album a flash site was created using your webcam to create an experience of augmented reality. With mobile devices getting more and more advanced, chances are we’ll be seeing more of this great technology.

Although I’m a big JM fan, I’m not sure what to think of the song. The solo however shows once again that John is a true guitar god.

Masino Sinaga over at openscriptsolution.com has written a comprehensive explanation on how to edit version 2.4 of my Related Posts plugin to make it compatible with qTranslate v2.4.3.

Thanks for sharing Masino!

I hope to have included another bunch of features users have been asking for.

You can now add drafts and planned posts as related posts, without them appearing on your site before they are properly published.

Added shortcode support – you can now place the

[ related-posts ]

shortcode within the content of your post to display the related posts anywhere you want.

(For advanced users) Added a parameter to the MRP_get_related_posts function to optionally get the related posts in an object, so you can easily use it in other plugins or your own custom way of displaying the list of related posts. For documentation on this, see  the API section.

I needed a Dutch translation (Nederlandse vertaling) file for the magnificent Register Plus plugin. Since there wasn’t one available, I’ve created one.

Download and unzip, and drop both files in the /wp-content/plugins/register-plus/ folder. Note that it will only work if you have the global language for WordPress set to Dutch in your wp-config.php file.
