I’m sure Wp-Insert users will love this new Rules management page..You now have 100% control over where and how to show the ads.
Proudly presenting the most comprehensive ad control available in any CMS. Wp-Insert 2.0 will be out soon.
This tutorial site was running of the famous Arras theme. Wp 3.2 update has bought the theme down too. We all survived through the big 3.0 update. I wonder why this comparatively minor update has bought so many issues.
I will probably wait for arras to release an update than to run around looking for a fix..Until then enjoy 2011 Default theme.
UPDATE : The fix was comparatively easy, hence decide to go for it.
If you were to run Arras 1.5.0.1 on the latest build of WordPress 3.2, you would probably run into this error upon activation:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud::WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud() in ..../wp-content/themes/arras/library/widgets.php on line 355To fix this, simply replace line 355 of /library/widgets.php from:
function Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud() { $this->WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud(); }to:
function Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud() { parent::__construct(); }I have updated Wp-Insert to version 1.7.4 to be compatible with WordPress 3.2.
Those who have not upgraded your WordPress installations upgrade Wp-Insert prior to updating WordPress. If you have already upgraded and lost your menu
1) Login to your site via FTP.
2) Goto wp-content/plugins/
3) Delete the folder Wp-Insert
4) Login to your WordPress admin.
5) Click Add New under Plugins menu and install and activate Wp-Insert.
UPDATE : If the admin section looks garbled even after updating. Clear your browser cache and try again.

I just came across a comparison between Wp Insert and another plugin names WP OPT Insert on a couple different websites
I have no clue as to what the aforementioned plugin does; but according to the different blog posts I read today both plugins seem to be somewhat similar. Wp-Insert is a multifunctional plugin and comparisons like this occur frequently. This particular one shows up in a lot of sites though
Do note that neither me nor SmartLogix Technologies is in any way related or affiliated with the developer/marketers of the so called plugin Wp Opt Insert.
Wp-Insert is created with the sole intention of giving back something to the wonderful wordpress community and I believe in opensource and GPL.
I request everyone in the community to help and support each other either by donations, code snippets or reporting bugs or in any other way you can and help more and more people use the magnificent piece of code named WordPress.
Wp-Insert is back in the repository..
Wp-Insert doesn’t seem to be showing up in the search results in the plugin installation page after the WordPress 3.0.2 update.
I don’t have any clue about whats going on!
I have written to WordPress mentioning the issue but haven’t received a reply yet. I will post an update here as soon as I know whats going on.
Meanwhile you should be able to download the plugin from the repository link : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-insert/ and upload it using the plugin upload page.
[UPDATE] : Wp-Insert rivals most premium plugins while being a FREE GPL plugin. A lot of time and effort has gone into development ad maintainance of Wp-Insert. Wp-Insert has got around $200 in donations out of which $90 was donated by the user Mary in October. The ads in the plugin admin page has earned $1.75 to date. The figures should you the economics of free plugin development. If the plugin doesn’t get exposure at the repository new users wont be able to find the plugin and existing users wont be able to update or install it easily. This will slowly erode the user base as i don’t have the capital to invest in any kind of marketing activity.
Share your views on how to let users know about a plugin in case it was not hosted on wordpress.org and whether the enormous development effort required justifies the case without enough users. Should development on Wp-Insert to continue and why? Share your views..
[UPDATE] : I just got a mail from wordpress.org mentioning the following - “there is a problem with the search on the Plugins directory. Nothing has been withdrawn. We are trying to get this fixed”. Hope everything gets fixed soon.
This interim bug fix release should take care of two issues causing the manage ads page to go blank and the popup post/page picker to disappear in some blogs.
I wish to thank FreshSuperCool for his comment http://www.wp-insert.blogolb.net/how-to-prevent-ads-from-showing-up-on-a-particular-page/comment-page-1/#comment-861 which fixes a bug (Post picker wont appear if there are special characters in post/page names)
I have also limited the number of posts/pages in the popup post picker to 200 to avoid the memory limit issues some users were facing.
