Permalink Finder new Release 1.60

Saturday, January 15th, 2011

One of my more successful plugins, and the first one that I wrote, is now out there in the 1.60 version. I improved the way it works, using what I have learned in other projects to update it. It now will match things like words with accents. I also use the WordPress functions to massage the slug and try one last hit on the db for the fixed-up slug before doing the search. This fixed a bug when the slug was only one word long.

I have been experimenting with WP-MU so this plugin now is aware of MU installations and it has the option to run everything from the main blog, including all of the statistics. I just now noticed a bug in MU in the log. It has a relative link instead of an absolute link and this makes it hard to see which blog caused the 301 or 404. I have to prepend the current blog url onto the link. I’ll do that in 1.70 when everything calms down.

So far there have been a couple of hundred downloads and no complaints. I need bugs people! Tell me what is wrong so I can fix it.
