This plugin is currently in alpha, and will be made available for a very limited time. Please download and install only if you are a brave space monkey—and are able and willing to provide feedback. There is a high probability that this plugin will not be released as a free, GPL plugin on the WordPress repo. Regardless, all space monkeys that participate during the alpha and beta stages will receive a licensed copy of the final release of this plugin.

Members WordPress plugin by Justin Tadlock is a truly excellent plugin. In fact, it really should be worked into the WordPress core, as it greatly improves the user roles management/permissions features that are sadly lacking in the latest release of WordPress.

However, when it came to restricting access to a certain post/page/custom_post_type, Justin’s Members plugin was a bit restricted–only in that it allowed permission to be granted only to user roles and roles that contained the restrict_content capability. A more granular permission for individual users, regardless of which role they are a member of could not be set.

Presented for your consideration is a modified version of Members that allows this fine-tune permissions for specific users.

Hopefully, this ‘allow-user’ feature will be included in a future release of Justin’s original plugin. And Justin, if you are reading this, excellent plugin, just need a bit more love–hope you don’t mind us building on your giant shoulders.

Regardless, at least for now anyway, the plugin can be downloaded here, and we will link to the official updated plugin if ever the user permission feature is added.

Annual Archive widget extends the default WordPress Archive sidebar widget by allowing daily, weekly, monthly or annual archives to be displayed. The widget can also display a list of posts ordered by date or alphabetically. Also included is a simple shortcode that will display an archive list on any post or page.

Why Use This Widget?

Good question. One reason might be that you have posts that outdate WordPress, the Internets… before Johannes Gutenberg, the invention of paper or even the wheel. That would be a seriously long list is archived by month.

Using the amazing Annual Archive widget could shrink that list by as much as twelve times! Just imagine all the sidebar space that saves for other widgets like a Countdown, or perhaps even a list of related attachments.

So, download Annual Archive from Twinpictures or WordPress today, and–depending on what type of calendar system is being used–cut that archive list by up to a factor of twelve.

Update:

An new version of Collapse-O-Matic is out with it’s own post with a complete list of features and shortcode options.

Plugin in hot action:

This plugin is hosted on WordPress.org, but it can also be download right here, on this very page:

• jQuery Collapse-O-Matic v1.3 – Added optional rel attribute that groups expand elements together. Expanding any member of one group will automatically collapse all members of other groups.
• jQuery Collapse-O-Matic v1.2 – Added tag attribute so the title element can be wrapped in a div, h1, etc. Changed style to deal with multiple trigger title wrapped in different types of html tags. Separated the background arrow images… no more arrow bleed overs
• jQuery Collapse-O-Matic v1.1 – Optimized the code. Fixed the style to not conflict with other plugins. Shortcode now works in sidebars. Other shortcodes can now be nested within the ‘expand’ content. Shortcode can be given a specific ID that can then be used in an anchor tag for auto-expanding action. Title tags are more SEO friendly
• jQuery Collapse-O-Matic v1.0 – The plugin came into existance
