Call to undefined function is_rtl() in plugin wordpress 3.3

If you upgraded to wordpress 3.3 you will notice a lot of plugins breaking that have a dashboard functionality. They are using the following code: 

wp_admin_css( 'css/dashboard' )

Which stopped working in 3.3. It might happen in other plugins as well if they are using wp_admin_css. My advice would be to hold off on upgrading until they get this sorted out.  I don’t have time right now to do this myself.

Plugin Authors: If you are having a problem with your plugin, you can comment the wp_admin_css and do a wp_enqueue_style instead.

Shared database wordpress: Posts table

I was looking for a way to use the same posts table for two seperate WordPress installations. The following will only work if they are using the same database. Turned out to be quite easy. All you have to do is edit the wp-db.php in the includes directory. (more…)

White flash on page loading in WordPress 3.2

I’ve encountered a strange bug, when I active bp_template_pack plugin refreshing the page you get a white flash before the page loads. Disabling it will return everything to normal.  At first I thought it was ajax calls but I can’t pinpoint the exact problem. As a workaround I moved the ajax code to my functions.php and included the scripting in my own javascript file. While this works fine, I still would like to new what the exact problem is. Googling it I found a lot of other users having the same problem but no answers.

Diablo III wordpress buddypress theme

I’ve always wanted to create some themes for communities, with BuddyPress this became a reality. Normal WordPress doesnt offer much in terms of social interaction, BuddyPress and bbPress pick up the slack. The basic idea was to create a theme that is based on a single picture as the background. That way it should be easy to create different themes for different games. You can check out my example site for Diablo III. BuddyPress requires a lot of styling, so there are still some parts left to do but all in all it’s comming along nicely.
