How To: Fix Nick Berlette’s excellent Redirect Plugin for WordPress 2.6 and higher

The static pages (like Store) are working again. I’ve had to fix the redirect plugin by Nick Berlette. If you want it to work with your modern WordPress blog (2.6 or higher) you just need to change a tiny bit.
Remove this:

require_once($_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] . ‘/wp-config.php’);

Replace with:

$root = dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))));

if (file_exists($root.‘/wp-load.php’)) {
require_once($root.‘/wp-load.php’);
} else {
require_once($root.‘/wp-config.php’);
}

It should work fine now

For a simple blog, WordPress.com would be fine but you might as well go with Livejournal.com, Facebook or some other blogging system then. I don’t see what value WordPress.com offers.

No javascript is allowed in widgets:

My code has gone from my widget

If you paste code into a widget, save and when you look again it has gone then the system has removed it.
This is done for security reasons.
