Heeellllpp!!
Please tell me you can help and that I’m not an idiot!!
All I want is to add “Recent Comments” and “Recent Posts” to my sidebar, but I know virtually nothing about code-writing and all the jargon is really off-putting…if you can offer some assistance, it would really, really be appreciated..

You can install a plugin to get recent comments.
To have recent posts, just insert this line at an appropriate place inside
sidebar.php:<?php get_archives('postbypost', '10'); ?>the list of plugins of wordpress its good but, its very little, no?

If I’m using Giraffe2, erm.. I need to use all this plugins or not?
If i’m using GIRAFFE2, am i need to install this plugins to my wordpress?
No, Giraffe2 is entirely independant of any plugins.
Wow!
Your Head Space is brilliant.
I haven’t tried the others yet but if they’re of that quality I’m in for a treat
Hello John
I have several private suites with sizable numbers of users. Users always lose their passwords. Not one of the users has been able to negotiate the WordPress two email password retrieval system. Thus they email me and I give them a new password. So it becomes the standard WordPress four email password retrieval system.
I would like a WordPress password retrieval plugin that just sends out the password to the user’s registered email address upon request when using an existing user name or email address. What do you think?
Theo
Hi Theo,
WordPress encrypts the passwords before putting them into the database, making it impossible to recover. The only thing that can be done is to regenerate a new password. I’ve never used the password recovery function, but I’m guessing the double-email is to verify that the user really is the correct person (so bad types don’t zap everyone’s password).
John:
Thanks for the reply.
I guess I will take this to the wordpress.org idea blog and see if anybody has any ideas for a solution/work-around.
Theo
Hi John,
I wanted to ask you if you had any spare time to code admin notification email into the FAQtastic you created for Knowledge Constructs. The simplicity of the plugin is its greatest feature and this simple addition is enough to round the plugin off in terms of useability to all users.
Life is never free, so if you’re able to do this, please send me an email.
Cheers. RF
Man this is the hottest set of widgets I have seen. Thanks to Ole Jack Humphrey I found this site. 😉
Glad to be adding these to my wp blog!
Cheers,
Tonya Pruitt
Very nice plugins i am using many of them.
Excellent plugins! I’ll use many in my blog..
You have mouthwatering set of plugins here. I am surprised I did not stumble upon this page earlier….Few of these plugins sound awesome. Donations are on the way 🙂
These plugins are fantastic! Only one small thing….. when I try to use some of them, I get this:
"Wordpress error: Cannot load headspace.php".
Any ideas on why?
Which plugin gives this message?
Nice plugins, and very thorough instructions.
i have the same problem as gerard, it is for the headspace2 plugin.
I have access to the ‘Page Settings’, but each time when i click on the ‘Modules’, ‘Options’ and ‘Import’ pages the message "Wordpress error: Cannot load headspace.php" appears.
i’ve installed wordpress 2.3, and i’ve followed your instruction to install headspace2, so i don’t what i could have missed 🙁
You are so great, developed so many plugins
Thank you!
John,
It would be great community addition if you could release a base plugin that other plugin developers could then use to build their own WordPress plugin.
I notice that your plugins use an Object-Oriented MVC framework with some common base and library classes and I think it would most helpful to others starting on their own development path to have a core already built.
Keep up the excellent work.
I do intend to release the plugin framework, I’ve just never had time to write it up and publicise it!
John,
Excellent, your copyright notices indicate that your current plugin work may not be derived from so I not willing to extract the framework myself. I would, however, be happy to accept the bones of the framework without the fleshed documentation and even assist with some basic tutorials etc.
Thanks 🙂
I need almost all your plugins. Will try them out.
This is more than awesome. I just love all of them.
Thank you very much for these plugins.
Amazing plugins with robust development. all those i have tried are very impressive. will try some more of them soon.

Hello,
I have looked at the Plugin for Redirections to WordPress. Is it possible to use it without WordPress? – my website is Joomla-system and I’am looking for URL Redirections – which also can get the time for starting og the time for end of working.
And here in you Plugin I found it – WordPress Modules version.
I hope you can help me.
Best regards
claper
Thank you for always making best plugin
I am not quite sure how I ended up here; Perhaps reading one page and then following the links… But this is an awesome plugin page. I have bookmarked this page and Stumbled it, too, so that as I develop my new site I will know where to come. This is spectcular. Thank you so much!!
Any knowledge about the faq-tastic plugin and if it will be made to work with 2.7?
Please direct all FAQ-Tastic questions to the FAQ-Tastic website
Some problem here, faq-tastic does NOT work with 2.7!
As mentioned before, please post all FAQ Tastic questions to the FAQ Tastic website.
I can’t believe how great your plugins are, combined with the fact that they’re free. I can’t remember the last time I set up a WP install without Headspace and Redirection.
Thanks for the amazing plugins!
I have recently upgraded to a Thesis theme and am confused about what plugins I need. I found I needed your Advanced Permalinks – which works great Thank You. Yoast recommended Redirection and I read on some of the forums that it didn’t work well with Thesis. Have you heard that before? Also do you know if I could benefit from any of your other plugins – Headspace in particular?
Connie
I can’t think why Thesis would have a problem with Redirection
just a note to say cheers, i installed the ‘Redirect’ plugin and it’s helped me sort out all those pesky 404’s i kept finding in my webmaster logs. Keep up the good work John, awesome!
Barney
Hi
the drain hole zip appears to have nothing in it. I see it hasn’t been updated for some time. Pity as would be very useful to restrict certain file to be downloaded by specific user role levels. Have you a more modern version thatw orks with WordPress version 3?
thanks

Hi Jhon
These plugins are fantastic!
I’m using ‘pageview’ plugin in my website to browse a company software, so my problem is that i want to browse a software through ip address (182.180.76.168) but the plugin has a ability to browse any web page or software through url, so can you help me how I browse a software in website through ip address…….
I recently installed your pageview plugin
http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/pageview/
I cannot get the iframe to display 100% height
Here is the shortcode I’m using:
[pageview url=”http://www.MYURL.html” height=”100%” border=”no’]
I’ve tried editing the script below as such ( FROM: $height = ‘400px’; TO: $height = ‘100%’;) but that didn’t work so I reverted and was forced to insert the px height in the shortcode:
public function shortcode( $attrs, $content = null, $code = ” ) {
$title = $desc = $url = ”;
$height = ‘400px’;
$width = ‘100%’;
$border = ‘no’;
$scrolling = ‘no’;
Any help would be appreciated.
I’ve been using WordPress for over 8 years now and recently found these plugins. I highest recommend that you look at these John has creates some great plugins. Thanks John.
