Got an email late yesterday that I have SVN access for the WordPress plugins I’m creating. It took a week or so to happen for any other developers that are curious.

WordPress 2.0 Theme Design Competition?

TDavid — Mon, 05 Dec 2005 17:24:19 +0000

Just received the following comment on another blog (verbatim):

I had organise a WordPress 2.0 Theme Design Competition for the very first time. You can check it out at http://kcyap.com/?p=47

I am happy if you can help me to blog about it and send me the link to your entry or you can add your blog link entry to my comment. Im looking forward to get an email from you.

Thanks

That comment is verbatim, including errors. I checked out the blog and it seems like this might be valid but WP 2.0 isn’t even an official released version yet, so I’m wondering about this one.

Anybody else know about this? Also, when is 2.0 coming out officially instead of through the CVS?

I just installed Dave’s OPML Editor on the Mac and then went do download the WordPress.Root and Safari kept wanting to save it as a text file. So I went over to my Windows machine and zipped up the WordPressROOT file and then downloaded from Safari there.

Next, I copied over the WordPress.root file to FINDER->Applications->OPML->apps->Tools directory, per Dave’s instructions. Then it was a matter of choosing the red O in the dock and selecting the menu above:

From here, it was the same as on Windows. Fill out the default values for this blog (username, password and url) and then for my Mac Mode blog which is the other place I’ve been testing this out at today. Now let’s save this and see how it works here.

Testing OPML Editor with multiple blogs

TDavid — Fri, 25 Nov 2005 01:21:05 +0000

Testing OPML editor with multiple blogs installed. Guess the title kind of covers this one.

Seems like I wasn’t the only one working away at fixing this problem. Cori’s solution is available here which is essentially replacing your WordPress xmlrpc.php file with the one he modified on line 518 and 519 by adding trim to the user login and password in the MetaWeblogAPI section.
