Over the weekend I updated SharDB to allow installs to upgrade from WordPress MU 2.9.2 to WordPress 3.0.1.
I also did an initial pass at support for new WordPress 3.0 -> WP network in SharDB. In this implementation the main site’s tables will be in the global database. You can easily set up a test install (to test your plugins, etc. with SharDB). Set up a fresh install that has the network enabled, create your database shards, then configure & install SharDB.

I updated the theme stats plugin to work with new WordPress 3.0 networks as well as with MU installs upgraded to WordPress 3.0. You can download it here: WordPress Network Theme Stats.

This is a handy little widget that will pull a list of all the sites in your network and order them by last updated. The code for this was originally in the home theme of the WPMU download, so thanks to Donncha for that bit. 
Last Updated Sites widget (98)
I tested it in the mu-plugins folder, but you should also be able to use it as a regular plugin as it only needs to run on one blog. It’s also the older widget code, so you can only use it once, not multiple times, and it has no options. Short, sweet & simple.

From the archives (which are full of good things, btw) I revamped a post with an updated version of the List All plugin, and confirmed the Most Recent Blogs widget still worked. It does!
So, if you’re looking to have a widget that will show the last ten blogs, go get it here.

We had a client who is using the WP125 Ads plugin. When they upgraded to WordPress 3.0, it was having an error. I fixed the error and forwarded it to our client. Other folks reported the same issue in this thread in the WP support forums. The author of the plugin posted and indicated he was going to be tied up for a bit. I have forward the update to the plugin author. At some point he will be releasing an updated version.
In the mean time, you can download my updated version: WP125 Ads Plugin (129). If you have issues with it, please post those issues in the support thread linked above. I won’t be attempting to do other bug fixes or CSS changes.

I’ve updated my BuddyPress Blog Author Link plugin for WordPress 3.0. I also added support for a single WordPress install. You can download it here.

Someone reported that my Featured Posts plugin wasn’t working. I tracked it down to the download zip containing the old admin page vs the updated one. I updated the repository. Original plugin post

In one of the chapters in the WordPress All In One Desk Reference, Andrea includes a list of recommended plugins for use in a WordPress Network. One of those is no longer available for download. Because it was such a handy plugin, I updated the plugin for WordPress 3.0 so that it works with both single and network installs. It can be installed in either the mu-plugins or plugins folder. Here are the features:
In a single site WordPress install adds the following privacy options:
- I would like my site to be visible only to Site subscribers.
- I would like my site to be visible only to Site administrators.
In a WordPress network activated on an individual site adds the following privacy options:
- I would like my site to be visible only to Registered network users.
- I would like my site to be visible only to Site subscribers.
- I would like my site to be visible only to Site administrators.
When Network Activated or in the mu-plugins folder in a WordPress network adds the following:
- A privacy selector in the Super Admin -> Options page to allow individual site privacy or the 3 above across the network.
- If the network setting is individual privacy the Super Admin -> Edit Site screen has a privacy selector.
Thanks to D Sader for the original version. Download Network Privacy.

We’ve been picking away at updating plugins and things for 3.0, doing general tidying up and so forth. Just a dust and a clean, and sometimes a sprinkle of awesome.
New in the Featured Posts plugin: a short code. Set it up, pull in a feed, pick & choose your posts, slap the shortcode in a page you’ve set to home and there you go.
Download it from the repo: Featured Posts
