» Plugin Management in Wordpress 2.3

Posted: October 3rd, 2007 | Sammy Russo | Why Wordpress?

I run several websites the are powered by Wordpress… 11 to exact. About a month or so ago I sitting in my office counting the number of Wordpress powered sites I run, and thinking what a nightmare it is to keep all the various plugins up-to-date.

It’s quite a hassle to have to spreadsheet the version of all the Wordpress Plugins on a per site basis so I can more easily find out which ones are out f date. Plus having to monitor all the feeds from the plugin developer sites. But that hassle no longer exists.

With Wordpress 2.3, the plugin interface of the administration panel now tells you when there is an updated version of a particular plugin, along with a link to the Extend section of the Wordpress site so you can quickly download the most recent version.

Couple this with one of my favorite plugins “One Click Installer” (a plugin installer via admin panel), and I can quickly update all my Wordpress powered sites.

Thank You Wordpress Development Team!





Now What?

    It’s a good thing they fixed this by adding this nice feature, however don’t you think having your own plugins developed by your tech team, for all your websites.. will be much more professional, even though you are using a free platform, you can still add some paid development on top of that.
