Recent CommentsRole Scoper plugin for Wordpress
I like to use private posts, as not everything that I blog about should be read by the public. Several versions of Wordpress ago, I used the Disclose-Secret plugin.
However, development of this plugin hasn’t really happened since version 2.3 of Wordpress, due to significant changes being required from the plugin in order for it to work with the later versions of Wordpress. Now using version 2.5 of Wordpress, I finally decided that I couldn’t wait for Disclose-Secret to catch up, and have converted over to using Role-Scoper. As far as I can tell, Role-Scoper does absolutely everything that Disclose-Secret did, and with so much more flexibility I can’t begin to comprehend. Anything to do with privacy, restrictions, permissions, groups of users permissions, etc.. you name it, it can do it! There were a few minor bugs with it that affected a few users like myself, and I am very proud to have helped Kevin (the author) debug the plugin to produce version 0.9.16, which I believe now does absolutely everything that Disclose-Secret did. Kevin is an excellent coder/hacker, and I think he will do very well in his web development career.
I’m so proud to have been part of debugging this fantastic plugin, that I have taken screenshots of my name in cyberspace. Maybe one day when Kevin becomes the next world famous coder/hacker I can autograph these screenshots and sell them on eBay?
