Shortcode Redirect Plugin just released!

Hi all,

I had a client who needed the ability to redirect users to another page after so many seconds. So I decided to turn my work into another great open-source (free) plugin for the WordPress community to use. The plugin is very simple and allows site owners to add a shortcode to their pages and/or posts. The shortcodes look like [redirect url='http://somesite.com' sec='3'] where URL is the link to send the users to and SEC is the number of seconds to wait before re-directing the user.

You can read more about the plugin here: Shortcode Redirect Plugin by Cartpauj

Enjoy! And as always if you enjoy it please consider donating.

What’s happening with the Mingle Forum Plugin?

SEO Friendly URLs coming to the Mingle Forum WordPress PluginFANTASTIC THINGS are happening with the Mingle Forum WordPress Plugin. I haven’t had a lot of time to devote to it lately but I am very happy to announce that SEO Friendly URLs are well on their way. In-fact you can check them out on the forum here right now. This new feature will help astronomically in SEO rankings and search-ability for your site’s forum content.

When will the next release be available? Right now I’m waiting to hear back from a few beta testers to see how smoothly the SEO Friendly URLs run. We’re probably looking at about another week before it will be available to the public.

It has taken so much time & trial/error to implement this feature that I would just like to remind everyone (without sounding too desperate or needy :D ) that donations are always welcome. Thanks!

EDIT: Nov 27 2010 — Just pushed out the release (Mingle Forum 1.0.23) containing SEO Friendly URLs, Dynamic Forum Sitemap, and a handful of bug fixes.

Just released uCan Post WordPress Plugin

Say what!?: I’ve been secretly working on this plugin for about a month now I’m SUPER excited to announce it’s first release. I was initially planning on making this a Premium (paid for) WordPress Plugin but have decided to give it away for free instead (Donations are always welcome though).

So what is it?: uCan Post is hands down the best and simplest plugin to use to allow your users and even guests to submit posts on your site without having to access the dashboard. Pretty Awesome eh?

Can I see the uCan Post WordPress Plugin in action?: Yes! Click Here to see a demo of the uCan Post plugin.

New Plugin Idea — Mingle PtP — Thoughts?

I’ve been debating on doing this for a while but I think I’m going to create a New WordPress Plugin called Mingle PtP (Posts to Profile). Basically it will show three new Mingle profile info tabs for each user — showing what Blog posts they’ve commented on, posts they’ve authored, and blog posts they’ve marked as “Favorites”.
Any interest out there for something like this? If so, any other ideas to spice it up a little bit?

Mingle Forum WordPress Plugin & Embedding

Mingle Forum WordPress Plugin now fully supports Media Embedding such as YouTube, Photobucket, Flickr, WordPress TV and more. It took a few trial runs to get it right but as far as I can tell Mingle Forum version 1.0.06 supports it very well without any bugs. The Forum plugin uses WordPress’ built in media embedding functions so it integrates nicely with it and runs very efficiently. Hope you enjoy it! Check out the links below for more info:

Mingle Forum WordPress Plugin Released!

I know it’s been a long time coming for all you patient fans out there, but I’m very happy to announce that my revision of WP Forum is now complete and ready for take-off as a new re-branded (and much better!) WordPress Plugin titled Mingle Forum.
Mingle Forum 1.0 was just put on the WordPress Plugin repository today and I expect it will be a very nice addition to WordPress along with my Private Messaging plugin. Please check-out all the details on the Mingle Forum Plugin Page.
Thanks to Eric Hamby for his previous work on the plugin and also thanks to Gene53, Jschires, RobertD62, Supercleanse and others who helped me test and fix bugs. ENJOY :)

First release of Cartpauj PM

Whew! It’s been about a month in development so far on my Private Messaging Plugin for WordPress. But I’m pleased to announce that the very first version of Cartpauj PM was released today! You can get it for free at the WordPress Plugin repository. You can see this plugin in action here on my site by signing up and visiting the messages page.

Why did I decide to write a Private Messaging Plugin for WordPress users? Because even though there are a handful of other ones available, most of them work through the dashboard. Most WP users, including myself would prefer to keep the users as far away from the dashboard as possible. Cartpauj PM accomplishes this by using a simple shortcode on a page/post of your choosing, in an extremely easy fashion. With almost no setup needed you can have a full-blown Private Messaging system on your WordPress site in a minute or less!

Enjoy! If you have questions or problems with the plugin please ask in the Support Forums here.
