The good news is that you don’t need to make any changes at all to use my tutorial :)

The bad news is that Wordpress 2.3 is broken :(
and although the patch was produced 3 weeks ago, and is supposed to be included in 2.3.1 it still hasn’t been fixed in public…


So what is the problem? If you are hosting your Wordpress blog in a subdomain, or subdirectory (i.e. not in the root of your website) you cannot login because in Wordpress 2.3 they added a cookie check, which is “broken”. There is a patch available which works, for me, that is attached to this ticket

If you decide to use Wordpress 2.3 make sure you get this patch or you may have problems logging in to your blog after the upgrade/installation.

I made a small improvement on the contact form tutorial that should make it easier to implement.

If you were having problems with the last update you should try the updated version :)

Today you can find a new version of the contactform image verification tutorial. If you ever wanted to secure your contact form with CAPTCHA but found the tutorial too difficult to follow then you should really, really look at the new one. It works the same as the old one but in the new version you do not have to upload anything to the webserver, go through the hazzle of changing permissions on some folder etc. Just copy the page from my tutorial project, change a few variables and off you go :)

All of this was made possible thanks to NeoProgrammers.com who recently made a big update to their script. This script is free to use, licensed under LGPL.

Since I haven’t been able to get any further information about this and the fact that I haven’t been seeing this problem I haven’t been able to do anything about it. But yesterday I was able to identify the problem, thanks to a helpful user, and fix my instruction :)


The RSS-feed problem only affects those who are running the latest version of Wordpress, any version in the 2.2 series. They made a small change in their code that leaves the surrounding app (in this case my code) in charge of terminating the script at the correct point. Since this wasn’t necessary before I didn’t add it to my instruction.

If you are having problems with your RSS-feed and is seeing the page content added at the end of the feed you should redo your integration accoring to my updated instruction.

I also took the time to make some other minor adjustments:

  • Fixed the RSS-link because it wasn’t generated properly.
  • Removed some code that is not needed.

Apparently NeoProgrammers the creators of the CAPTCHA script I used has recently uploaded a new version that isn’t working exactly as the old version :( If you are experiencing problems following my tutorial either wait until next week when I hopefully have had time to rewrite my tutorial, or contact me and i’ll send you the old version of the script.

This update should now be a little bit simpler to follow and hopefully it works without tweaking :)

This time i’m describing how you can integrate your Wordpress blogg in RapidWeaver. The integration makes your Wordpress blog look like it is RapidWeavers own blog that is used. It requires that you are running your own Wordpress blog installed on your own webserver. Thus it cannot currently be used if you are using a free Wordpress blog.

I won’t write much more here. You should visit the tutorial here yourself and see if it is something for you. I know it is for me ;-)

As the first part in this section I also added a tutorial for how you can create a contact form like mine with RapidWeaver. People have asked me how I did that with RapidWeaver and I thought it was time to write down how I did it. You can also download a RapidWeaver project complete with code and instructions.
