oik v1.5 released on 31st October

Version 1.5 of oik – OIK Information Kit is now available from WordPress This version includes an improved version of the [ bw_pages] shortcode. This shortcode can be used to list ‘posts’, ‘pages’ and custom content types. Just about any parameter that you specify in the shortcode will be passed to the get_posts() function. The default parameters are as shown below: [ bw_pages post_type=’page’ numberposts=-1 orderby=’title’ order=’ASC’ exclude=current-post-ID] When listing ‘pages’ the ‘post_parent’ is automatically set to the current post. This shortcode lists, in descending date order, the 5 most recent Posts with a Category of News. [ bw_pages post_type=’post’ numberposts=5 orderby=’post_date’ order=’DESC’ category_name=’news’]

Some time in the near future, when the nameserver updates to oik-plugins.com have taken effect, the primary domain on SiteGround hosting for oik-plugins will be changed from oik-plugins.biz to oik-plugins.com.

How to fix an unresponsive Menu button in child themes of TwentyTwelve

How to fix an unresponsive Menu button in child themes of TwentyTwelve
Recently we noticed that the Menu button in child themes of TwentyTwelve was not behaving correctly; it was not expanding when you clicked on it. We tracked it down to a change in the parent theme, between version 1.4 and 1.5. New versions of oik2012, oik20120 and other bespoke themes built as child themes of TwentyTwelve will be made available in due course. In the mean time, here’s a brief explanation and some notes about our planned fix.

Oops – thumbnails wrong – now link title text

Ah, there appeared to be a problem with choosing the correct thumbnail image! A [fob]! I tracked this down to using the Artisteer supplied function. I made a quick fix and now there’s a problem with alt text in the links. Another [fob]. Both problems should be fixed soon.
