Set FeedWordPress Update Scheduling

People often activate FeedWordPress but forget to set the feeds to update. I added this little bit to the Motherblog plugin so that on activation of that plugin FWP gets set automatically. 

update_option( 'feedwordpress_automatic_updates', 'init', true );//set FWP settings to run prior to page load if you want after page load 'shutdown' rather than 'init'

Change New Site Comments Settings in Multisite

This little function in a network activated plugin on WordPress multisite will require comment users to be a member of the multisite to comment. The setting can be changed by the blog admin but it makes the default setting a bit more restrictive. It’s changing the value in Dashboard>Settings>Discussion.

List Posts/Pages in WordPress Multisite Admin Sites View

This is a little something that’ll help you see activity across a multisite. It adds a column to the admin view that shows the posts/pages count for each site. I found this plugin that got me the foundation for adding the column and then was able to just use the switch_blog function to get me a count of published posts and pages. Do note that it doesn’t count drafts.I feel like I have more drafts than posts on this site so maybe I need to reconsider that. This column in conjunction with the already existing last updated column should give you a good idea when a site has been abandoned or was never really started. We could get fancier down the road and do some sort of math to take the last updated date, published posts/pages counts, and any other stuff we want and build a score to rate the likelihood that the site is abandoned.

Lynda Tutorial Link in Rampages Dashboard Plugin

Nothing fancy here but maybe useful to someone. Based on a faculty member request, I took the WP widget API default code and created a little dashboard widget to put a link to the Lynda.com WordPress tutorials on every dashboard page (network activated). Can’t hurt and I think I’ll end up expanding this into a messaging system so I can publish “breaking” news and other useful tips.
