Quick fix for WordPress SSL Verify error

When your WordPress installation has problems with updating and retrieving files over SSL, because of outdated certificates, you can bypass this.
It`s actually a workaround, not a fix!

Just place the following code in your theme or plugin

// SSL fix
add_filter( 'https_ssl_verify', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'https_local_ssl_verify', '__return_false' );

Deprecating WordPress plugins

Starting 1 october 2015, I will not support these WordPress Plugins:

  • Selectivizr
  • Respond.js
  • Lettering.js
  • html5shiv
  • Comic Sans everything
  • Amplify.js
  • Explorer Canvas (excancas)
  • Enhance.js
  • Microformat shiv
  • MatchMedia.js
  • Pointer Events polyfill (PEP)
  • Globalize
  • FitText
  • Has.js
  • IE9 mode
  • eBay Shortcode

Instead I will integrate them into my PowerPack plugin, and will offer support on that instead.

jQuery Updater 3.0 for WordPress

Today I`ve finished laying the engine foundation for jQuery Updater for WordPress 3.0
The release of jQuery 3.0.0 alpha 1 triggered me to swap from 2.1.4-beta to 3.0.0-alpha but I`m happy with it. The plugin`s engine got completely rewritten and includes some code that I used to maintain seperatly as a plugin; jQuery Mobile, but also includes jQuery UI and QUnit.

The source can be found at github.com/Ramoonus/jQuery-Updater 

The final release, will be done after several public alpha`s and beta`s which include an administration panel.
