I’ve been working on a new version of the verse of the day plugin. There have been a few reported problems with the verse not updating, and I’ve been wanting to add widget support for ages. So I’m after a few beta testers. Doesn’t matter if you’ve installed it before or not, if you want to try it out, you can grab the zip file here. Extract it into your /wp-content/plugins/ folder and try it out. If you have already installed the plugin, please deactivate it and delete the existing plugin files before installing this beta. If you want to roll back to the earlier version after installing this beta, you can grab the current stable version from here.
If your wanting to use the widget, it should show up automatically in the list of available widgets. If not, and you haven’t installed it before, you’ll need to add <?php wp_votd(); ?> to your sidebar to make it show up.
Please leave any bug reports and questions in the comments below, or if you’re a member on wp-plugins.org, please create a new ticket, selecting the wp-votd component and assign it to dalziel.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Glenn,
I just uploaded your VOTD plugin/widget and it all appears to be running smoothly, I’ll let you know in a few days how its still going.
I can think of one possible suggestion/improvement, if a person uses the widget, would it be possible to let them choose which feed they take the verses from in the widget itself, rather then on a seperate page withing the options section of the ACP?

Thanks Andrew, that’s a good idea!

Hi,
A few days ago I installed the plugin. I really like it, but it doesn’t refresh. Even since I installed the new beta version 3.5 it won’t refresh.
Any help is welcome.

Hey Glenn,
I have also installed the votd plugin and can’t get it to refresh. I have votd beta 3.5 and wordpress 2.2.1. Have tried different feeds with no luck.
I am sure it will be a Great plugin once it starts to refresh. Let me know if you have a fix!
Thanks!

Glenn, really appreciate your work here. Mine doesn’t refresh the verse either. I’m on 2.1 – What part of OZ are you. I work with UCB and the national Vision Radio Network. http://www.vision.org.au

Hi Glenn,
The verse doesn’t show up.
I deactivated the stable version, replaced the old files with the beta version in the wp-content folder, reactivated the plugin, but nothing showed up.

I have version 3.5 beta with Wordpress 2.6.1 and the verse didn't refresh for me either. I deactivated the plugin and changed the line of code that is
wp_schedule_event(0, 'daily', 'wp_votd_update_contents' );to readwp_schedule_event(time(), 'hourly', 'wp_votd_update_contents' );and it is working great now.Leave a reply
