Issues with the Verse-O-Matic

Posted on May 20, 2008 | Filed Under Verse-O-Matic

There have been some issues with the Verse-O-Matic that have not been addressed. I’m not sure at this point if it is due to changes in WP that have not been accounted for, deprecated functions in PHP (I know there are some in the script), or if it is with MySQL. Regardless of where the issues lie, I will be releasing a fixed version to address the issues with the plugin.

However, note that this fix will be tested on and compatible with the most current version of WP (currently 2.5.1). It is important to keep up with the changes in …

New Verse-O-Matic 3.4 Released

Posted on December 11, 2007 | Filed Under Verse-O-Matic

Verse-O-Matic Updates

Posted on July 11, 2006 | Filed Under Verse-O-Matic

Well, I had Verse-O-Matic running pretty well with the 3.1.0 release. ï¿½ There have been quite a few downloads and I have seen it popping up on sites around the blogosphere. ï¿½ Thanks for support!ï¿½ï¿½ It’s nice to see the work getting used out there.

Now, I have somewhat neglected VOM for a few months for a number of reasons… ï¿½ I’ve moved, both physically (new house) and virtually (new domain); I’ve been preparing for a summer missions trip; and I’ve been putting a tremendous amount of work into the WP-Members plugin. ï¿½ WP-Members finally seems to be stable enough to …
