I’ve updated this site to the new WP 4 and it seemed to go smoothly. It did require a database update, so if you decide to upgrade soon, you may want to be sure you have a backup of your database (though we keep backups of them on the server and can grab them if you have a problem). The new features of WP 4 include some improved editing of both images and content and a new plugin gallery that will make finding and installing plugins easier. Otherwise, it seems much the same as before!

As always, be sure to contact Ryan or I if you have questions or concerns about the upgrading process!

I’ve just posted a new page, How-to: Create a static (non-blog) site, so that a fairly common question will be answered in a way that is viewable and useable by everyone using the KLOW site. I would invite you to send us (tech@nekls.org) any questions you’d like to see featured in this section! I’ll answer them and post them for everyone!

After some testing, it appears that the update to WordPress version 3.9.1 is not causing problems on any sites that have done it. There are some benefits – mainly making images easier to edit and insert – and some improvements to widget and header previews in the theme customization side of WordPress. As always, let Ryan or I know if you all need us to help you out with the update! Happy posting!!

There is a list, organized alphabetically, of all the KLOW sites in Kansas. This was hand-crafted, so it is pretty basic, but if you had any questions about what libraries are and are not part of KLOW, this is the definitive list. Please let me (rhastings@nekls.org) know if there are any libraries on the list that shouldn’t be or if you don’t find a particular KLOW site there.

Just a quick note for those of you who use this plugin – development on it has stopped and it hasn’t been updated in 2 years. Some folks who use it are finding it’s not working as the WordPress software updates and changes. No corresponding updates are being made to this plugin, so it’s not keeping up!

Here at NEKLS, we use the Events Manager plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/) which is up-to-date and pretty robust. Please feel free to ask your system techs if you need help installing/configuring this plugin! As always, feel free to contact Ryan (rsipes@nekls.org) or Robin (rhastings@nekls.org) if you have any questions!
