The 3.5.8 Google Drive link works for me. The purple New Revision button is now back and working as expected.

In reply to: [Better Plugins Plugin] Compare sites option not availableAh I see. Yes I don’t think my plugin covers that use case as I have never used a multinetwork setup. You can go to the Plugin page on the network site (/wp-admin/network/plugins.php) and view a plugin report that will show you which plugins are used on which sites. I haven’t tested this on large networks so your mileage may vary.

In reply to: [Better Plugins Plugin] Compare sites option not availableHi Kathy,
After installing the plugin go to the Dashboard area for the two sites you want to compare. There is a new submenu under Plugins called Compare. When you go there you should see something like this: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/867430/9484459/a02ce640-4b7a-11e5-900a-6ba466e74ebb.png
You can choose a site from the drop down menu and compare the plugins from two sites on the same multisite network (aka example.com/sitea/ compared with example.com/siteb/). Or you can copy the long mess of characters at the bottom there and paste it into the text field on another site (aka sitea.com compared with siteb.com) This lets you compare plugins across two different WordPress installs. Press the “Compare plugins” button and voila!
I hope that helps.

In reply to: [Better Plugins Plugin] I Watching closely the suiteThat’s a rough translation. I am not sure what you mean.
Voilà une traduction approximative. Je ne suis pas s?r de ce que vous voulez dire.
Ah. That would do the trick. How might I override a module?

In reply to: [Yoast SEO] Bug in the PluginSome further info…
Line 132 is this
excerpt = jQuery("#content").val().replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/ig,"").substring(0,wpseoMetaboxL10n.wpseo_meta_desc_length-1);
If you have a custom post type that doesn’t have a content field, then this throws an error since jQuery(‘#content’) doesn’t exist.

In reply to: [Yoast SEO] Bug in the PluginYup, same here.
Same situation… a search on my site for environment (/?s=environment) also gets caught by BBQ.
No other plugins were involved as far as I can tell. I do have some custom functions that make the search url “pretty”
example.com/?s=”woo+hoo” => example.com/search/”woo+hoo”
Firefox automatically unescapes quotes in urls so the final url would really be example.com/search/%22woo+hoo%22 but you get the idea.
Only the unrestful example.com/?s=”woo+hoo” url got tripped up the BBQ plugin. example.com/search/”woo+hoo” worked just fine.
Good luck finding an acceptable solution. It’s kind of tricky.

In reply to: [Co-Authors Plus] [Plugin: Co-Authors Plus] Making authors sortableYup that’s the case for me to. Bulk Edit wipes out the custom order of the authors.
I’ll submit a patch once I learn how to do that ??
Well it turns out I didn’t need to fork this plugin and modify it after all. A simple change to the Hosts file on the server did the trick. Thank goodness.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Building a scalable WP installationWe run WordPress Multi-site on two dedicated servers with an F5 load balancer in front of them. We use Wp Super Cache for caching. Tried W3 Total Cache to no avail (It’s probably a server setting on our end).
We use only a single database but I’m told it only appears as a single database it’s actually multiple ones.
Our biggest issue has been keeping static files (media uploads and wp-super-cache files) synced between the two servers. We use a program called Unison run every two minutes to sync changes between the two servers -> https://www.seas.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison//download/releases/stable/unison-manual.html
Our next step is integrating WordPress with the EdgeCast CDN for total caching (even the HTML, not just assets). This is feasible because our sites aren’t very dynamic. There are no comments and the pages, once published, are very rarely updated. Everytime a page is updated or deleted I make a call to the EdgeCast api to purge that URL from the cache ensuring the latest version will be available at the edge with no need for content creators to have to do extra steps.
Oh yea forgot to mention I’m running a multisite set-up if that should matter at all. Some hooks and filters for this plugin would be greatly appreciated.

In reply to: [WP Super Cache] WP Super Cache with load balancerYou need something to sync the changed files when they are updated. How are you pushing out changes to the other servers? Add /wp-content/wp-cache-config.php to that list and then deploy it to all of the servers at once.
You can pretty much edit it by hand too and try not to make changes via the backend admin section.
We also use a program called Unison installed on our two servers to sync changes of static files back and forth every 3 minutes. This is a must have for media assets like uploaded static images in the wp-content folder
