Hackadelic Series 1.1.1 Bugfix Release: Uncle Tom’s Cabin
This release is a quick fix for a silly bug in the front-end, due to which the series drop-down menu had erroneously links to included unpublished posts (clicking on which would have resulted in a “404 page not found” error for a user with insufficient privileges to view such posts – that is, non-admin users basically).
Now unpublished posts are hidden from “normal” visitors, and shown in italic to users with edit privilege.
The back-end still shows every entry in a series, but I changed the formatting to match the above semantics.
Naturally, this immediately leads to the question: What about multi-user blogs, where not every user may be given permission to adjust custom fields. I will address this in a future release.

Sliding Notes 1.4 – Shadowchaser Release
I’m announcing a new release of my Sliding Notes plugin. It resolves a CSS conflict with Shadowbox JS , another popular WordPress plugin (hence the release name). At the same time, with this release I’m relieving the user from housekeeping the CSS parts that are vital to Sliding Notes function, but unrelated to its visual appearance.

PassionDuo Theme Defect – And How To Fix It
Recently, I’ve been investigating a strange effect with Sliding Notes: On one site, the notes just did not open when clicked.
A view at the HTML of the aforementioned site revealed that the whole plugin-generated footer section – that is, the JavaScript supplied by the plugin – wasn’t there! Whew! How’s that?
I digged a bit and tracked the cause of the trouble down to a misbehavior in the “PassionDuo” theme, a theme by DailyBlogTips. Read more >>
