EOL for Custom Post Permalinks
I have decided that I will no longer be supporting or actively developing Custom Post Permalinks. Part of me regrets releasing this plugin in the first place. The problem with making a really simple to use plugin that extends a really really hard to understand API is that people who don’t know what they’re doing will be encouraged to act as if they do.
If I had a dollar for every time somebody tried to give their CPT top level permalinks (just like pages) and then claimed my plugin broke their site, I wouldn’t have to pay for coffee for at least a month.
The plugin didn’t break your site. You did.
Anyway, I have no time to spend on support requests; I will not be maintaining the plugin or updating it in the future. Family life and work are both keeping me too busy for that.
If you’re interested in taking over the repo for the plugin, let me know in the comments.

Three Awesome Functions in WordPress You Might Not Know About
WordPress is a large application. According to Westi’s XREF of trunk, WordPress defines 188 classes, 3840 functions, and 302 constants (since the xref counts variables of all scopes, I’m not including them here). For comparison, depending on your version of PHP, there are anywhere from 2-4 thousand native functions in the language. With so many functions, WordPress is bound to have some really cool ones floating around; and unless you either read core or are active on trac and/or #wordpress-dev, you might not have seen these before.
How WordPress Saved My Computer
So, in my writeup of the town hall with Matt Mullenweg, I promised a post about the after-party (and after-after-party).
After the meetup, a bunch of us went across the street to Tsunami Sushi & Lounge. 1 Matt bought every bottle of Bamboo Princess sake they had in the bottle, and everybody was having a grand old time of it. A bunch of us ordered sushi too. Continue Reading

- Thanks to eschapp for pointing out their website. Who else thinks it needs to be redesigned and put on WordPress? ↩
