Widget Voodoo 1.0.5 With WPMU Compatibility

Apr 15, 2009   //   by Hackadelic   //   Blog, WordPress  //  No Comments

Voodoo MagicOriginally, Widget Voodoo wasn’t implemented with WordPress MU in mind. In response to an issue report in the forums, I’ve overhauled the way settings have been stored (the main cause of the issue on WPMU).

As a result, settings handling is more robust and more secure now. And, Widget Voodoo now works on WP and WPMU equally.

Grab the new version at wordpress.org, and have fun with it. 🙂
