WordPress 2.2 and Xinha4WP
When I recently upgraded one of my sites to WordPress 2.2, I discovered Xinha4WP did not work. It would not load when writing a new post.
Xinha itself has been under continued development, and the latest release was version 0.931, so I figured it was time to update the core Xinha installation in Xinha4WP (it was using a version from October 2006). Well, that brought on a host of new problems as the Xinha team has changed a number of things to further eradicate ‘htmlarea’ from the code. They also added a new way to pass plugin configurations which solved another problem I’ve been having with backend security errors in the ImageManager plugin.
After a day of tinkering, I think I’ve got the latest Xinha release working properly in WordPress 2.2. Next up is to test it in WordPress 2.1 (even though I know NOBODY is still running it
) I also want to add support for a few more plugins, especially the ExtendedFileManager (in Image Management mode). That’s going to take a little doing. Then I’ll release v1.2c Beta into the wild.
So bear with me - v1.2c Beta should be out soon - I just want to use it for a bit more to make sure everything is still working like it should. So far so good with both Firefox and IE 7. Still no love for Safari users though - Xinha doesn’t work on it.
