I have updated the Widget Context plugin to fix the CSS overlay issue that was introduced with the latest WordPress upgrade.

It’s funny how only now when WordPress has been updated and many plugins have stopped working, people realize how important and significant the plugins are.

Ever since using the nightly versions of WordPress, I got used to doing regular updates and not checking if all plugins work fine afterward.

Therefore only today I discovered that leaving comments on this blog has been impossible for a while already. Turns out that changes in the WordPress core have made the OpenID plugin unaware of the comment author’s name and e-mail.

Haven’t found a solution yet.

The Solution

Open comments.php within the OpenID plugin folder and move the name & email input verification from line 73:

// duplicate name and email check from wp-comments-post.php
openid_require_name_email();

right after line 68, like this:

// just ignore the error... it just means the user entered a normal URL.
if (array_key_exists('openid_identifier', $_POST)) {
	openid_repost_comment_anonymously($_SESSION['openid_comment_post']);
	// duplicate name and email check from wp-comments-post.php
	openid_require_name_email();
}

Why this works

We need to check name and e-mail input only if the URL is not an OpenID.

Is Apple really going in the footsteps of Microsoft by creating more and more version of essentially the same product? When seeing iPhone 3G S for the first time I immediately associated “S” with size Small.

These days no one considers a phone “smart” if it’s slow or doesn’t have support for 3G. So what does Apple exactly mean by saying iPhone 3G Speed? Where the previous versions slow?

How about calling it iPhone 4, 5, 6, … n.
