WordPress: PhotoGallery Plug-in

I am looking for a free add-on to our community site that will show picture gallery of activities which was suitable for my requirement. I have used Gallery, Coppermine, SMF Gallery and finally I found WordPress Plug-in that is called NextGen Gallery. I would recommend this one. Very simple to use and install on your wordpress site.

WordPress and SMF Bridge

I have been using WordPress and SMF on my organization. I have found it very useful but the concern was “account management”. You need separate accounts between two systems. SMF have been developing bridges to Joomla and Mambo but not WordPress. Luckily I have found a thread on SMF community pertaining to this bridge which can be seen on: http://www.dmry.net/wordpress-smf-bridge-plugin-10 which is seems to be buggy. One SMF community member updates this bridge and I am frequently testing its update. Update can be downloaded thru his website. You may monitor the thread thru this link:

Hoping to have a successful version of this plugin.

 Update (14Jul2007): You may try the latest WordPress Plugin to integrate with SMF – WP_SMF_1.06 created by jjgallow. Visit the simplemachines forum thread to have updated information about the bridge.

WordPress Support – PHPMailer

By default, WordPress uses PHP mail function to send emails for Forget password module (see details on the link). I have seen alternative way of handling mail related notification on wordpress, they call it wpPHPMailer. There are simple instruction on how to activate this feature by simply visiting this link.

WordPress Support – Slow Login

I just noticed one time that I want to post new item on my wordpress blog site, it takes me 1 minutes and 30 seconds before loging-in to my site. Luckily I found a solution from wordpress support that I need to remove some lines on the index.php of wp-admin folder.

It’s the RSS feeds it tries to pull in. Edit the index.php file in wp-admin, and change all the three lines that start:$rss = @fetch_rss(…

To be:

$rss = “”;

Kudos to WordPress Support especially to brianthewise!
