Feed Stats Plugin with Wordpress 2.8

[bjoern]

Hi Jonathan,

have you tested Feed Stats Plugin with WP 2.8 yet?
Have tried it today with a local backup of my online files on my
notebook and notice connection error in dashboard and settings
sections.

Best regards,
Bjoern

I tested WP 2.8 on the live server that runs <http://www.speedbreeze.com>.

I haven't encountered any connection errors on my server (which is
MediaTemple Grid-Server account). On another note, I have noticed a
few link-related bugs, which will be committed to the WordPress
Plugins Subversion repository in a little bit.

According to the WP Codex's "Version 2.8"[1] page, they added "support
for blocking all outbound HTTP requests." It appears that this
feature was (at least partially) added in changeset 10625 to
WordPress. Looking at that changeset's Trac page[2], it appears as
though that change only affects the WordPress HTTP API, which this
plugin doesn't use.

Since the information this new feature to block all outbound HTTP
requests is rather vague at the moment, I'm not really sure whether it
causes the issues that you described.

Thanks so much,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

thanks for your quick responses.

I just wanted to check if everything is fine with your plugin before I
start updating my blog online. That's why I tested it locally on my
notebook.
Tried to update my blog on friday to 2.8 and run in trouble so I
recovered files and database to 2.7.1.

Best regads,
Bjoern
