Today I’ve released minor updates for 3 WordPress plugins – Flu Pandemic Level, Simple Twitter Data and Simple URL Shortener.

This is to fix a bug in the file fetching routine which may cause it to fail for some users.

I’m proud to announce that version 1.5 of my WordPress plugin YouTube Embed has been released.

Like 1.4, it’s a choc-full update…

• The post editor now has YouTube button, which inserts the YouTube shortcode (this can be switched off in the options screen)
• I’ve added a new option to disable keyboard controls
• I’ve also added an option to supply a video ratio, in case height or width are not supplied – the missing parameter will then be calculated using this ratio. If you don’t supply a ratio then it’s calculated using your default height and width.
• You can now add  a download link (for video and playlist) using a function call or shortcode
• On the options screen you can specify which set of parameters the demonstration video uses (i.e. “normal” or EmbedPlus). This allows you to try your options on a different video type without switching to it.

The next release is probably going to be version 2, with a LOT of new options and a complete re-write of the documentation and major changes to the code.

Full details are on the plugin’s dedicated page.

My WordPress plugin Simple Feed List has received a minor update. It now has improved stylesheet handling.

All details are on the dedicated plugin page.

This is the last of my “backlog” of changes – most of the updates I’ve released over the last few weeks were completed some time ago. I’m now working in “real time” so plugin updates will trickle out less regularly.

Having said, I should soon release an update to YouTube Embed, with a further release soon after.
