First, thank you for the bug reports. Without them, new & enhanced versions simply won’t come out.

The plugin now has better video detection capabilities, and a serious bug regarding the auto thumbnailing feature is fixed.

You can download the new version at:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/youtube-thumbnailer/

Any bug reports, feature requests or comments are welcomed in the comments section below.

I want to thank everyone who sent feedback and feature requests for the post editor buttons plugin.
Because of you I have released 3 more version of mainly bug fixes to the plugin.
The feedback was send through comments on the blog and email messages to me, if you have something on your mind, do not hesitate.

Now you can download and use version 1.3 that works perfect.

Post Editor Buttons?

This plugins allows you to add your own buttons to the post edtor’s toolbar.
I’m talking about the buttons that you see above your content text area when editing posts (b,i,link,img,ul,li).
For example you can add a “h3″ button to make subheaders in your post.
There are virtually endless buttons you can add.

Here is the plugins interface:

Plugin Description

Mass Custom Fields Manager (MCFM) is a plugin I wrote in order to help people who use WordPress to manage their post’s custom fields with ease.
If you don’t want to spend your time editing each and every single post’s custom fields to the same value or you want to delete/update specific posts you don’t have another tool that let’s you do that.

Here is a screenshot of the plugins interface:

You can choose posts by category,ID,custom field value and more and with a click of a button manage their custom fields.

FAQ and Feedback

If you have any questions please comment or contact me through the contact page.

My No Meta WordPress Plugin finally got his own WordPress dot Org page.
Now I’m waiting for my Mass Custom Fields Manager to get approved.
I always wanted to have my own plugin page :). It just makes me proud to be an owner of an open-source plugin.

Howto get a WordPress plugin page

In order to get a plugin page at WordPress.org (like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugin-name-here) you need to do a couple of things as described below:

  1. Think about a good idea for a WordPress Plugin.
  2. Develop the plugin yourself / hire a developer to code the plugin for you / contact me and ask me to code the plugin for you.
  3. Register as a member at WordPress.org
  4. Ask WordPress to host your plugin.
  5. Grab yourself some cookies & milk and wait until they send you an email saying they approved your plugin (Usually within one week). If you receive an email saying that they didn’t approve your plugin then… Well I have no idea because I never got one.
  6. The email will say that you will receive access to your SVN within the next hour so this step is just more waiting :(.
  7. Once you got your access, read this tutorial on How to Use Subversion to upload your plugin (=get a plugin page), and upload your plugin files to the /trunk folder. If you encounter any problems with this step like I did (this is the toughest step), contact me through the contact page or by leaving a comment and I’ll get back to you + Update this post with the solution so it helps other people as well.
  8. Wait up to fifteen minutes (WordPress checks for updates every 15 minutes) for WordPress to create your plugin page and then use the WordPress plugin search to find it.
  9. Be pround of yourself and comment here to let me & other people know that this tutorial works.
