Synected v0.84; bugs fixed

May 5, 2009 / Jeff Smith

If you’ve been using Synected, yet find yourself running into problems or errors, you may be interested in today’s release. The following bugs are addressed:

  • Synected did not function at all if Wordpress was installed in a subdirectory (ie, the site url and blog url settings differed). This now works correctly.
  • When shortening URLs with a querystring (eg, http://example.org/?p=132), Synected could incorrectly ignore the information after the ‘?’. This is resolved.
  • A SQL error that would appear on the Edit Short URLs screen on some systems has been fixed.
  • Paging of short URLs (once you create more than 10) was broken, but now works.
  • The redirect used by Synected has been switched from 302 to 301, in order to be more search engine friendly.

A big thanks to everyone who’s written in reporting bugs and providing information. The plugin continues to improve. And now I’m afraid I must run. As Wonka would say, there is so much time and so little to do.

I’ve found a bug, if you give synected a URL with http:// it adds an extra http://

This is in the latest update.

and I can’t give you references because your spam filters keep claiming I’m a spammer.. Useful.

Thanks — I’ll be getting back to Synected development in a couple days and will check on this first thing.
