WordPress Tweaks 2.0 Released!

Posted: 27 May 2011 07:40 PM PDT

I recently rewrote my WordPress Tweaks plugin and have launched the new edition as version 2.0. The previous version of WordPress Tweaks (version 1.8) was released 3 years ago (back when WordPress was at version 2.5), so the plugin was definitely in need of an upgrade!

Version 2.0 adds 5 new tweaks, removes 13 outdated tweaks, fixes a few tweaks that broke between WordPress 2.5 and 3.1, adheres to new plugin development best practices that have emerged since WP 2.5, adds an instant search bar, and ups the minimum WordPress requirement from 2.1 to 3.1 (quite the jump!).

For those who aren’t familiar with the plugin, WordPress Tweaks gathers a plethora of assorted options into a convenient list of checkboxes and dropdowns. (WordPress Tweaks is in the same vein as Microsoft’s abandoned TweakUI program, for those who remember it.)

Here’s the current list of supported tweaks:

  • Admin
    • Automatically scroll to the post editor
    • Disable the admin bar
    • Disable the Dashboard
    • Disable the “Search Engines Blocked” notice
    • Disable tag autocomplete
