How to make the SimpleTags WordPress plugin work on v2.9

January 10, 2010 by Paul Spoerry Leave a Comment

SimpleTags is my prefer automatic tag generating plugin. It greatly simplifies tagging your posts and it’s just an all around well done plugin. One problem: It doesn’t work with the latest version of WordPress… or does it?

After my initial upgrade I simply thought the author Amaury BALMER was just a little behind the curve in updating the plugin… or *gasp* maybe it wouldn’t be supported in the future. Perhaps both are true, but after a quick search in the plugin repository I discovered that there is nothing that prevents SimpleTags to work except that there is a hard coded WordPress version check in there. This isn’t a BAD thing… maybe the later versions of WP wouldn’t work with it? Who knows… but the solution to resolving the issue is pretty straight forward and simple.

If you edit the plugin via the editor interface, find this line (near the top):

if ( strpos($wp_version, '2.7') !== false || strpos($wp_version, '2.8') !== false) {

and change it to

if ( strpos($wp_version, '2.7') !== false || strpos($wp_version, '2.8') !== false || strpos($wp_version, '2.9') !== false ) {

Save and you’re good to go!
