    Erm, no :slight_smile:

    This plugin will just pull a list of recent posts from a tag you specify. For example if you want to display a list of recent posts tagged with ‘cats’ on the main blog this plugin would let you do that.

    Thanks,

    I think i understand what it does now. I can’t think of a way to use it though. A full blow tags plugin would render it useless ? Why would you want to display posts for a specified “tag”. I can see it as sort of like global categories ?

    “Why would you want to display posts for a specified “tag””

    Plenty of reasons. :slight_smile: Say you have a school site and you want all student’s entries tagged with Mrs Smit’s math class to show in one page…

    It’s my understanding that typically new plugins, if any, will be released sometime around the 3rd week of each month.

    Updates will be released as needed, depending on the severity of the update. For example security updates will be as immediate as possible, while cosmetic updates would be less of a priority.

    Also, you may see speculative discussion about things which may be released in the future, but typically there are no guarantees that it will be anytime soon if at all.

    For example, we may discuss a “super_cool_idea” plugin, what it should do and incorporate, etc. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be released immediately, and in some cases maybe not at all.

    As note, we’ve released eight or nine plugins over the last week. We’re most likely going to hold off on releasing more plugins until next month. WPMUDEV Premium is a subscription service and releasing all of our plugins at once wouldn’t be good for the business :wink:

    I thought the widget pack was just the multiple widget plugins copied into a single file and moved from mu-plugins over to the regular plugins file.

    We do something simuliar (however you spell that) for the css text that all those plugins that we have added in. We copied all of it over to a single text file, drop it into wp-includes (wp-admin for the css for that side) and wrote a two line plugin that hooks into wp_head(er) and loads it. Cleans up the outputted header quite a lot.

    It’s pretty code. :slight_smile:

    Yep, that’s basically it. We just took all of the widgets in mu-plugins and tossed them into wp-inludes with a small plugin that loads them.

    Yeah, they’re additional widgets that are freely available, just combined into one activation sequence.

    Like Andrew said, mainly to play the percentages that not all users are actually going to activate it. Those that don’t is where the “savings” come from.

    Goes back to that whole “every little bit helps” thing. :wink:
