Just released Manga+Press 3.1.2. This update resolves an annoyance in the admin with a double-echo in the help docs, and also confirms support for WordPress 7.1. Unless something else comes up, this will probably be the last release for the 3.1 branch, since I need to turn my attention to 3.2!

Manga+Press 3.1.1 has been released. It addresses any potential compatibility issues with WordPress 7.0, and patches some security holes. You can download the zip here: github.com/mangapress/m..., or wait for the update to be acknowledged on the WordPress plugin repository.

I have been incredibly busy but now with WordPress 7.0 and I understand that there were some huge changes to the WordPress admin that might impact Manga+Press's functionality. Rest assured, I'm investigating and working on a fix.

Quick head's up on the upcoming WordPress 6.8 release. I haven't had a chance to test Manga+Press against the new version (been way too busy lately) but from WP's own changelog, I don't foresee any changes that would actually break Manga+Press. #wordpress #release

Yes, I'm still here. Mostly staying off social media to protect my mental health, but also getting into the swing of a new job I started back in December. That being said, still keeping an eye on #wpdrama, and still thinking about Manga+Press' future.

Exploring options to move updates for Manga+Press away from relying on WP.org. I found a possible solution, but the drawback is it will require me to use PHP-Scoper because I can see other plugins using the same library. github.com/YahnisElsts/...

Unserious side-note: moving Manga+Press off WP(dot)org with the intent to get away from needing to remember SVN commands might be a plus in itself. Haven't used SVN regularly in 12 years but still have to remember it whenever I push updates. No serious updates—just a README.txt update this time.

Creator of Manga+Press here. I do have some new updates planned—namely one that adds JSON-LD schema support for comics but as for a timeline? I don't know yet. The schema addition requires some updates to the current interface🧵

Seeing The Hackers realize how hackable and open atproto/Bluesky is brings a tear to my eye. "We can just open a WebSocket at wss://bsky.network/... and see every type of event streaming in from the entire network in real time" Like internet gods intended! news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4211...

At this point, I may just pull Manga+Press from WP(dot)org. This feuding has gotten stupid. Also, maybe stay tuned for a new Laravel-powered version of Manga+Press? wptavern.com/wordpress-or...
