For Episode 4, Brad and Pippin briefly discuss (again) the JSON Rest API that has been proposed for WordPress 3.8, the core automatic updates (again) coming in WordPress 3.7 and how they affect plugins and themes, Pippin’s experience as a member of the WordPress plugins’ repository review team, our plugin picks for this episode, and also Post Forking, a project recently funded on Indiegogo.
Show notes and links:
- Ryan McCue – JSON REST API Interview on WP Tavern
- mobile apps – 40% of code base is to understand XML-RPC
- JSON support built-into Android and iOS natively
- can easily used from a theme’s JS – live reloading, commenting, infinite scroll, frontend posting, etc.
- Automatic updates will have hooks for themes and plugins
- Also discusses how to turn off automatic updates
- Detects svn or git repo, disables automatically
- Pippin’s experience as a member of the .org plugin review team
- Plugin Reviews:

Hey guys, you mention that there’s a config flag that can enable or disable auto-updates – where can we find more information about this?
They are listed here: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/09/24/automatic-core-updates/
Google is a powerful thing… https://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/09/24/automatic-core-updates/
I’m pushing a plugin out tonight, maybe one of you guys will look at it!
Send us a link when it’s live and we’ll be happy to take a look!
I really enjoy this podcast, keep up the great work you two!
I am curious to know what you are using for your ticketing system Pippin? You said you were using bbpress. Did you make a custom extension or did you install a plugin?
Yep, I use bbPress along with about a dozen small extensions to tweak the behavior.
You can see most of the ones I use here: https://profiles.wordpress.org/mordauk
I also wrote a another bbPress add-on that is specific to EDD and specific to the EDD site: https://github.com/easydigitaldownloads/EDD-bbPress-Support/
